The Original Canon Canonet from 1961

[@richardgraham65]

Remove the three tiny screws on the metal top secton of the camera, one on the left one on the right and one in the middle (they are around viewfinder height) Once you remove these, the entire top metal housing will lift off. This now gives you access to the rangefinder and all of the top controls where you will be able to clean out the viewfinder and the two mirrors. Good luck, it is a great little camera, one of my first ever proper cameras.

Planning to get one as my first film cam, is it hard to clean the viewfinder though?

Monday 4 March 2019, I received mine from a gentleman that purchased it in Aden in the Middle East in 1963 and as he is now moving from South Africa to Canada he is selling up and getting rid of stuff. The camera is in mint condition and fully functioning. I even received the Original Instruction Manual with my parcel. I paid the equivalent of $18.00 for this beauty. I fully intend to put a roll of film through her any day now.

Neat video! In response to your description, I think you should photograph anything with that camera and I'd just like to see future videos. Liked and Subscribed for more content!

Did you end up get this working correctly? I've never done it myself, but I've heard the range finder isn't too hard to clean out...

[@bLackEnchanTreSs24]

Will you make an updated video on your Canonet please?

How can I load the film in this camera? I’m confused, I can’t find any slot in it

[@Bennettsto]

Go to 5:45 you will see me open it up

[@Hotteststewpot]

I see you open it but I’m such a film novice and can’t figure itnout
