Andrew The preceding posts are good advice. Keep in mind however, most of the neat old 35mm rangefinder cameras, like the G-III 17QL and Yashica Electro GSN are 30 years old and require some attention for serious use, even if they are functional when purchased. I recently purchased a functional G-III 17QL for $23 and an Electro GSN for $28. The Canon was sold AS IS - the Yashica as WORKING. Both needed lightseals, cleaning/lubrication. The Canon really needs a rangefinder cleaning. You may want to look for one someone has serviced recently. I have seen several auctioned on eBay in the $70 to $120 price range. Service on this type camera runs about $100. Have you looked at the classic camera material at www.cameraquest.com? These are nice old cameras with sharp lenses. Have fun. Don. |
