Canon, Canonet QL19( Found it at my aunt hz...)



                 Found this old baby at my aunt house recently... i never know it was there even before i was born... but then when i flash back, i think and if i'm not wrong, i did played with this camera 12 years back... hahahaha... so daaammm long... i know right???? Now it looks so rusty but still clicking. I try to clean what i can here but none seems to work. So have been contacting friends and ask where can i repair this camera and at last i found the place.. Empress Studio(if i'm not wrong)... somewhere at india street in front of little lebanon. Was very happy when i first found out that this place can repair it... BUT... hmmm... he told me that better to keep it, cause if really-really wanna repair it, it will cost me alot. But at least i tried... I love that shop. Full of old camera and i love the atmosphere in there,,, it feels so old school. Anyways, the good news of my whole outing today was, at least i know where i can find expired films now, and repair my camera. Still, i feel very unfortunate that this camera cannot put into good use but to sit at the shelves and to be displayed. I'm gonna work hard and maybe when time comes, will go back there again and try to get it repaired. And oh ya, if you wanna know more about this camera, maybe can try to visit this website: http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/index-frameset.html?CanonCanonetQL19.html~mainFrame
