I got lucky and picked up my Canonet (at least that is how it is spelled on
the top deck of mine) QL17 with flash and disintegrating never-ready case at
a garage sale for $20 about ten years ago. Fine little camera. I' still
like to find an Olympus rangefinder. I'd pay a premium for an Oly, maybe
$25 <g>.
I haven't used the Canon in years but when I pulled it out to write this,
the PX625 Hg cell in tested good.
