OAPs of the camera world


Got another vintage camera recently... a Canon QL17 GIII. Put another way, a poor man's Leica. It's a great little snapper... sharp f1.7 lens, shutter priority and fully manual and... wait for it... quickload! Just pop the film in, extend the leader to the red mark, close and wind... and all from a 70's camera!

Two days after I got it, I took some nice snaps down Moore St. All came out great despite guestimating exposures.

Something about these old cameras really gets me. I mean, I love my F801... no question, but sometimes it's nice to not be thinking about DOF, shutter speed and all that.
