35 mm
Rangefinder
Canon Canonet QL19
Canon Canonet QL19
Classic compact rangefinder from the 1960s-70s with fast lens and Quick Load system.
Key specs:
- 45mm f/1.9 lens
- Coupled rangefinder focusing
- Shutter priority auto-exposure
- Quick Load (QL) film system
- Built-in light meter
Condition: Missing the battery cover. Good news is the shutter is fully mechanical, so the camera still works without a battery - you just shoot in full manual mode, setting your own aperture and shutter speed. You lose the light meter and shutter-priority auto mode, but everything else fires normally. Just bring an external meter, a phone app, or use Sunny 16.

Canon has been making cameras since 1937 and is now the world's largest camera manufacturer. They dominated the film SLR era with the iconic AE-1 (the first microprocessor-controlled camera) and legendary F-1 professional bodies. Their EF lens mount, introduced in 1987, became the industry standard for autofocus SLRs and carried through to their DSLR dominance. Canon builds everything from budget point-and-shoots to professional workhorses used by photojournalists worldwide. Known for excellent colour science, massive lens selection, and reliable autofocus systems. While their film cameras like the A-1 and AE-1 Program remain popular with film shooters, Canon's real strength is their complete ecosystem - whatever you want to shoot, they've got a body and lens for it.
