Against my will I bought another one though I can't seem to find much info on this particular version of the QL19 (with the text). I do seem to have a thing for F/1.9 given I also have the Yashica Minister 700.

When they are in the sub-$100 category and are still functional, it's almost hopeless. :) (Although prices have been creeping up...)

In my case: Voigtländer Vitessa-N, Zeiss-Ikon Contessa, Kodak Retina IIa, Kodak Signet 35, Argus C3. ...there may be another tucked away somewhere that I forgot.
 
Let me suggest to anyone considering ANY camera, especially if you intend to Use it. Check Mike Eckman’s site and see if he’s reviewed it. I’ve found his info spot on.
 
Quitting isn't that hard though. Once you'd played with the majority of them...

IMO the Canonets haven't appreciated much (compared to the P&S cameras) in recent years. Deals can be decent.
 
I added an Agfa Isolette II with the Solinar 75mm F/3.5 lens.

It's not a rangefinder so technically it doesn't count :rolleyes:
