The Canon Canonet QL25 was a lower priced version. It differed from the QL19 and QL17 in having a slightly slower SE 45mm f/2.5 lens, a 1/15 sec. slowest shutter speed but was otherwise identical.
The Canon Canonet QL25 (1965) is often available cheaply because the lens is a bit slower than the more glamorous QL17, and QL19.

I've shot a few fixed lens rangefinders. Himatics, canonets, Soviet models and a yashica electro 35 (rubbish in my opinion). My ql25 is my favourite (even kept it over a ql17 giii - though I think I had a bad copy).
The quick load system is a breeze. The rangefinder patch is brilliant after a clean and rewind is super smooth.
One huge upside is that the meter works in manual mode. Something the ql17 giii doesn't do. So you always have a meter.
This is one camera I really love. More than some of its more popular counterparts.
Hi Ricardo, I agree 100% with everything you have said about your Canon Canonet. Very well made too.
