Awesome!
This camera has been a lot of fun to use, I had to buy the battery adapter for it to utilize the shutter priority properly. The camera itself is beautiful, simple, and real fun to use. This is my first rangefinder camera and I can see the benefits and the change of shooting style with a rangefinder. Note* the light meter only works in shutter priority (when you put the aperture ring on A). When shooting in manual, you have to use an external light meter or learn to read light. The lens is sharp and fast at 1.7 wide open. The shutter is so quite that at times you wonder whether you took a picture or not. Since there is no mirror you can shoot at slow shutter speeds and be to get little motion blur. All in all this canonet ql-17 giii is a fun inexpensive way to get your hands on a rangefinder camera.Read full review

Great affordable rangefinder
There's a reason it's called the poor man's Leica. This camera takes super sharp imagines and has a shutter speed priority. It's very quiet and easy to load. Be careful of two things. They no longer sell the Mercury batteries these originally took, but you can find a replacement alkaline and may need a bit of aluminum foil for it to fit. The second is sometimes in darker rooms the focus is a bit hard to see. Over all for the price (I think they've gone up due to their popularity on Instafeam ?) this camera is definitely worth adding to your collection- esp if you want to try out rangefinders.

Great Camera
Classic film camera that still gives a quality product, requires a bit of research into how to use it but very rewarding to do so

Oldie but a goodie
If you want to get into shooting with a rangefinder but you don’t have the cash for a Leica then this is the better option, with the ability to control both shutter speed & aperture as well as the fast focusing makes this camera one of the best.Read full review

Awesome camera
My first reentry to film after many years and this camera did not disappoint. Beautiful photos on the very first roll. Easy to learn on shutter priority mode. Mine is almost like new after a CLA and light seal replacement. Focusing does take some getting used to but overall for the price I'm very happy.Read full review
