Unboxing the New Canonet QL17 from 1969

[Mudman]

Continuing my Youtube Adventures! I was sent a 2nd generation (the New Canonet Series) Canonet QL17 right before my health took a turn for a worse last spring/early summer. It arrived in remarkably good condition, still in its original box and packaging. I thought folks might enjoy unboxing it. I know I had never had the chance before myself.

Here it is:



Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the video. Very well done. I like "NEW" written multiple times on the box!

QL17 is one of the classics.

Ah man, I thought it was sealed!

Ah man, I thought it was sealed!

Unfortunately not that lucky! I still thought this was a fun find for under $50.

Nice that Canon provided a case with the camera - that’s a decent one.

It’s a pretty plasticky case, but they did put leather in the spots that count
