I just got a Canonet 28 back from the repair shop where it got cleaned up, new light seals, and a viewfinder so clean it looks BRAND NEW. I had to see what the process the camera repair MASTER used to get it so clean - had no idea how intricate the rangefinder system was. Great video!
Thanks for the video. I just got me a 28 (don´t know the year) and apparently the inner glass has stains right on the side you said not to touch. So, I won´t. If it is blotted, what is recommended? Replacing? Cheers from Brazil.
thank you for this video! my canonet 28 seems to have a stiff rangefinder/viewfinder focusing. could you please make a video about fixing this issue? I think the mechanics of the rangefinder have gummed up or something, do you have any idea how to fix this? It focuses, but I have to rotate the focusing rings 3-4 times in order for it to start slowly moving :/
Thanks for the video - very helpful 😊 did you use any cleaning solution? Also on mine the foam seal on the door is damaged... what would you recommend it is replaced with? Also I have some moisture free canned air - yours looked like it needed a blow 😉
@@photographyandmore Thanks for that. I actually used a similar product. I have another question: I removed the bottom cover and a small U-shape spring fell out. I think it’s for the battery cover but I’m not sure... can you advise?
Hey! I was struggling to understand why I had the same issue. I found this: www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-126550.html Maybe it could help ;)

I was able to recover my camera because of you ...thank you so much😊😊
Awesome video! It helped me clean my new (old) canonet 28. Thanks a lot
Fantastic - clear, precise video ! Gonna attempt cleaning my GIII QL19 now.
How might one fix the mirror alignment. The ghosting on my ql19 is a little off vertically? Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hello Vee,

Hello Jon,
I usually use a product that is used to clean screens, I think it is made with isopropyl alcohol.

@@JonLloyd65 I have never removed the bottom cover of this camera, maybe I can make a video soon by removing the bottom cover.
Can you clean the lens?
did you use solution on the q tip?

trying to repair the rewind crank on my QL19 seems like it keeps getting stuck
Hi
My camera gets stuck when I set it on 'automatic', it won't fire, any ideas??

automatic only fires when there's a battery
