Canonet

Yesterday, I picked up a brand new secondhand Canonet from Mac’s Cameras. While it’s not the ubiquitous QL17 (which I still want to pick up), it is a nice little introduction into Rangefinders. I think that when taking the first shots, I probably shouldn’t have used a film that was 3 years past the use-by date. The shots came back really grainy, though I’m not sure if that’s the film (it was a 200 ISO), or the camera or me or what? Next time I’m going to try with a slightly better film.
