I am selling a Canon QL19 fixed lens rangefinder. The camera is in good condition. This camera sports the fast and sharp Canon 45mm F1.9 lens. The glass is clean and clear, with perhaps only a few tiny specks of dust. The shutter fires at all speeds at what sounds to be the correct speeds. The light meter works with a 625 type alkaline battery, but is about two stops off as expected as this is not the correct battery to use (the widely available Wein cell MRB625 or equivalent is the proper replacement). The camera has a fully mechanical shutter and iris so one can forgo the electronic exposure if one desires (recommended usage IMO). The finder is clean and the rangefinder is aligned and accurate. An oldie, but a goldie. Value priced.

Price: $55 plus shipping

Assuming the f/1.9 version is as good as the f/1.7, this ought to be a good shooter. I'd be tempted if I didn't already have a QL17 GIII.
