WOOF! Those shots blow me away Rover! Fantastic! I have a couple Canonets, and now I'm looking at them in a new light! Thanks for posting these pics, I really like them.

No, the Canonet is sold.
I sat on the floor one day with a a bunch of cameras and lenses on the floor around me and suddenly realized that if I sold them all, I could afford a Leica. So, sell them I did.
These photos are from a QL17 GIII, obviously shot with natural light. I steadied the camera on posts in the rooms to allow for sharp exposures at 1/4s. Like many of the 1970s fixed lens RF cameras, the Canonet had a killer lens. I really liked the lens on my Himatic 9 also.
Thank you for the kind comments.

Woof-woof, Rover These are nice pictures, and well taken - more so as you didn't have a tripod with you. I like the atmosphere of old workshops and old tools, specially when it looks as if the people who work (worked?) there are just away on a lunch break and will be back to carry on any moment. Are these part of some working museum? Peter

I don't know if anyone would be interested, but there is an outside chance that I will be going to Old Sturbridge Village to shot on Monday, Columbus Day. If anyone else would like to meet there feel free to send me a message. I will have my plans set soon I guess.
