Marketed Oct 1965

Original Price 15,800 yen, 1,800 yen (case)

The lowest-priced Canonet QL camera yet. To cut down the price, a SE 45mm f/2.5 lens, a 1/15 sec. slowest shutter speed, and a separate X-sync contact for Speedlites were incorporated. Other specs were identical to the QL 17 and 19’s.

The Canonet QL range was introduced by Canon in March 1965, as a development of the Canonet. They are 35mm rangefinder cameras with shutter priority CdS-meter controlled auto exposure and manual override. Each is fitted with the Canon QL quick film loading system.

The QL17 had a 45mm f1.7 lens, the QL19 an f1.9, and the QL25 an f2.5, set in Copal SV shutters. The 17 and 19 have speeds from 1/4-1/500s, and the 25 has 1/15-1/500; there was also a more basic QL 19E model, from November 1965 with a 1/15-1/500s Seiko shutter, recognisable by the self-timer lever being mounted beside the lens barrel, rather than on the barrel itself on the Copal models. The QL 17 has a battery tester. Later models of the 17 have a 40mm lens. 

Early models are seen with no hot shoe and the PC connector beside the lens barrel - which is all bare metal rather than having blacked rings, and a black-on-white QL badge; the top-plate is flat along the full length. Next to the viewfinder is a window to illuminate the bright-line in the finder, with a black area next to it, around the square rangefinder window. The frame counter is to the (users) top right of the advance lever. The CdS meter cell window, above the lens but inside the filter thread, is round.

Later models have a white-on-black badge, a plastic moulding on the advance lever, a hot shoe and a PC socket under a cover on the end, below the rewind crank; the rangefinder window now shows in the centre of the translucent window and there is no black area; the top-plate has a small step down to the winding lever/shutter release. The frame counter is now between the advance lever and the step, and the meter cell window is rectangular. The "new" models, from 1969, have an extra pin on the hot shoe to link to the Canonlite D Speedlite flashgun.

The Canon Canonet QL25 (1965) is often available cheaply because the lens is a bit slower than the more glamorous QL17, and QL19.

Características

Silette is a name used by the German maker Agfa from 1953 to 1974 to designate successive generations of 35mm fixed-lens viewfinder cameras. The corresponding rangefinder models were called Super Silette. There was also an interchangeable lens rangefinder model called the Ambi Silette, which is discussed elsewhere. The first models were sold in the USA under the name Ansco Memar and Super Memar, and some of later ones were sold under the name Agfa Solina.

Canon EOS 300 (1999-2002)

Canon EOS 300 (1999-2002)

#75

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo.

Características

The Canon EOS 300 (EOS Kiss III in Japan, EOS Rebel 2000 in North America) is a consumer-level 35mm single-lens reflex camera, produced by Canon of Japan from April 1999 until September 2002 as part of their EOS system. Designed under the supervision of Yasuhiro Morishita, the camera was intended as a replacement for the Canon EOS 500N. The camera was a success for Canon, selling exceedingly well and dominating its market sector until it was replaced by the EOS 300V (Rebel Ti, Kiss 5). Canon EOS 300 won European Imaging and Sound Association Award 1999-2000. Like other low-priced SLRs of the time, the EOS 300 used a pentamirror viewfinder instead of a pentaprism, and had a polycarbonate body.

The autofocus capabilities of this camera were identical to Canon's much more expensive Elan 7 with six single-line CMOS sensors surrounding a central cross-type sensor.

The EOS 300 should not be confused with the later Canon EOS 300D (EOS Digital Rebel in the US and EOS Kiss Digital in Japan), a popular entry-level digital SLR from 2003.

Ultra-Compact, lightweight and high-quality SLR camera. Successor to New EOS Kiss/REBEL G/500N. Based on the concept of “easier to use and more comfortable” than the former model, it is smaller and lighter weight. It also has a higher performance AF system, exposure control and other basic features. A seven focusing-point wide-view AF system is used instead of the conventional three focusing-point AF. The focusing speed is equivalent to that of the EOS 55/ELAN II E/50E. This camera has 35-zone evaluative metering instead of the conventional 6-zone metering, E-TTL flash exposure control linked to an active focusing point, and other basic features, such as easy depth of field preview , higher speed of 1.5 fps film advance, shorter viewfinder black-out time, mid-roll film rewind button and a wireless remote control (Japanese model only). The camera is compact, but the command dial, the main dial, an external LCD display, and a small, yet comfortable grip ensure a good handling of the camera. The camera body is two-tone silver and black. The Battery Pack PB-200 for size-AA batteries with a vertical-grip shutter button is separately available (4,500 yen). New lenses marketed at the same time are: EF28-80mm f/3.5- 5.6 V USM, EF28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 II (export only), EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM and EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 III (export only).

The black model was introduced in Japanese market in September, 2000.

The Canon EOS 300 was introduced in 1999. The branding EOS Rebel 2000 was used in the North American market. Date versions are also available.
The camera was known as the EOS Kiss III in Japan. Similar to the previous Japanese distributed EOS cameras, they typically have the QD / Date feature standard, often with a panorama masked feature as well. This particular model also has a built in remote control sensor that is not present in American and worldwide models.
A slightly improved version was released in 2001 for the Japanese market called EOS Kiss III L, but it is also often called EOS Kiss 3 L, to avoid confusion between characters I and L. The differences is that the LCD is backlit, also includes the RC-5 remote control.
This model is the entry level of the consumer lineup and has a safety feature that shoots the film backwards; it goes into the canister instead of out, thus reducing inadvertent exposures ruining the entire roll if the back is ajar. It is not compatible with IR film, as it uses IR light to track frame spacing. CR2 batteries are used for power while most of the mid-range EOS cameras uses 2CR5. For other battery options this camera supports battery grip pack BP200, easing portrait orientation with an additional shutter as well as allowing it to use of more common 4X AA batteries.

Minolta Hi-Matic 7 (1963)

Minolta Hi-Matic 7 (1963)

#73

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo.

Características

In 1963 the Minolta HI-MATIC 7 succeeded the original Minolta Hi-Matic 35mm rangefinder camera. It had new features, especially a CdS meter placed above the lens optics within the filter connection ring, a manual shutter speed selection mode, and the exposure meter's actual EV-value displayed in the viewfinder. Like the original Hi-Matic its viewfinder was a rangefinder with mechanical parallax correction, and it had a self-timer. With this camera Minolta made the "Hi-Matic" camera series their main series of range- and viewfinder cameras. Every Hi-Matic had more or less automatic features, especially for exposure control by meter, and more or less support of flashlight usage. The later version HI-MATIC 7s added a hot shoe for flashes and the exposure system of the SRT 101 SLR-camera.

Fonte: Camerapedia

Hi-Matic was the name of a long-running series of 35 mm cameras made by Minolta. The original Hi-Matic of 1962 was the first Minolta camera to feature automatic exposure and achieved a small degree of fame when a version (the Ansco Autoset) was taken into space by John Glenn in 1962.
The first Hi-Matic, introduced in 1962, was offered with a 45 mm f/2 or 45 mm f/2.8 lens and featured a built-in selenium light meter and rangefinder. Both the aperture and shutter speed were set automatically. The Hi-Matic was also rebadged as the Ansco Autoset.
The Hi-Matic 7 followed in 1963. It had a faster f/1.8 lens and used a CdS cell instead of a selenium meter. Additionally, it gave photographers the option of setting the exposure manually, an option not available in the original Hi-Matic.

Fonte: Wikipedia

Introduced in 1962 the Minolta Hi-Matic 7 was a full sized 35mm camera with a coupled range finder and a 45 mm f1.8 lens. It was a completely different camera from the original Hi-Matic/Ansco Autoset. It allowed full automatic operation or metered manual by means of a Light Value system with LV numbers visible in the viewfinder and displayed in a window to a scale on the lens barrel. It employed a Cadmium Sulfide meter cell that was more sensitive than the Selenium meter of the original Hi-Matic but that requires a 1.35v mercury battery. These batteries are now hard to find in the USA due to concerns about mercury batteries being discarded into the environment. The shutter release was moved to the top of the camera and is threaded to accept a cable release.

The chassis of the Hi-Matic 7 served as the basis for the subsequent models 7s, 9 and 11. The body is slightly larger and better finished than the Hi-Matic and is covered with a black imitation leather rather than gray. The wind lever requires a slightly longer arc than the Hi-Matic but can be operated in several short strokes, which made it seem more "professional" although still very much an amatuer's camera.

All four models employed Seiko shutters with top speeds of 1/500th. However; they also used a needle capture automatic exposure system that effectively limited to top speed to 1/250 (at f16). The 1/500th speed could be selected in manual mode. All were equipped with a self-timer (mounter on the lens barrel) which provides approximately 15 seconds delay. The self timer only works in the manual exposure mode. The 7 and 7s have a PC flash contact on the lens barrel.
