This small telemetric Canon with characteristics is very close to Canonet 17 G-III QL.
As its name indicates it, it is equipped with an aperture lens with 1.9. It is certainly less although 17, but this camera is full with qualities which make it possible to make a good companion of reporting of it. For telemetric, it is compact. The priority at the speed supports the “fast” photographs.
With the back of the body, on the left of the viewfinder the power battery tester is.
This Canonet has the system of fixing of the film Quick Loading (QL), specific to the Canon cameras, which one finds on the compact ones, as on almost all the reflex cameras of the brand during first left the Seventies (Pellix QL, FT QL, FTb QL, EX-EE QL).
To comfort the users who would doubt this system of catcher, there is under the cocking lever, a small window in which ravels an alternation of red and white dashes at the moment of the cocking. So with the cocking the drawing does not move, it does not have there any more but to reopen the camera to stick film correctly.
