it's a great camera. I just picked one up @ a thrift shop (where else!). The 40/1.7 is sharp and has good color correction. The battery is needed for the auto exposure and meter. You can shoot mechanically in manual mode without it. Instead of the 1.35v mercury battery, go to your local discounter

I´d say the Canon´s exposure automation is better - a lot - than the sunny 16 rule - and it is not always sunny - inside a building for example. Better way to good exposures is to observe what the meter sees and use exposure lock, Except on sunny days where F16 rules AFAIK, you're right. This is

I never liked the feel of the auto aperture in these types of cameras -- and I've used a couple of examples of the Canonet QL17, the Olympus 35 RC, the Olympus 35 SP, and even the Konica Auto S3 (though that one is an aperture priority model that sets the shutter speed for you). The auto

if it is all black it is quite valuable and rare. Buy it, it may be worth money even if not working. jco J.C. O'Connell mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jcoconnell.com
