Three's a crowd

Bought this 1961 Canon Canonet in a second-hand store for £59. It's my first rangefinder camera, so this stroll test was primarily about getting used to the focusing and framing. I used a crappy roll of very cheap film because I wanted to be sure everything worked properly before using better-quality film. The results of this test roll are not overwhelming, but the shooting experience itself was fun. I look forward to getting to know this camera a little better.

    which type of Canonet is it ? I have a Canonet 28 and I really love it although the photometer is a little bit crazy because of the higher voltage battery

    I feel the same way about my rangefinder (Kiev 4) - FUN TO SHOOT! It took me 3 rolls to get comfortable.
