<p>Thanks, Barry. We're about the same age, so I know what you mean. Sad to see Pontiac go out with a whimper after so many wonderful cars in earlier times.</p>

<p>When I bought a Canon F1 in 1972 by mail-order from Hong Kong, it came with the brand name obscured. On the prism housing there was a blob of black putty of some sort, which pulled off cleanly. The lens had a wide black ring screwed into the filter threads, covering all of the type for the brand name and serial number, and that took no time to undo. So nothing was actually defaced. But the instruction book was shipped seperately and it took me a while to figure out how to open the back (pushing a release button and lifting the rewind know, as I recall).</p>

No doubt you have seen this permanent fix for the yellow cast (in this case, in Pentax glass): http://www.hermes.net.au/bayling/repair.html

Thanks for the Essex reminder -- a good suggestion. It sounds like the cost may make it wiser to just display the Canonet on a shelf.

Somewhat OT: Can anyone recommend a repair shop to CLA a Canonet QL19? I know that it would probably cost more that it's worth (typical stuck leaf shutter, and I'd like to get the meter recalibrated for a modern battery at the same time) but it's probably the camera I used at the 1964 World's Fair. Those slides still look great. Thanks.

Needless to say, which eye you use makes a great deal of difference. If you are right-eyed, you may be O.K.; if you are left-eyed, viewing the 35mm frameline with a .85 VF will be tougher.

You're right, Mark; IRS arrived in the '63 model (still with a leaf spring, right?). And of course even the 2006 Vette has leaf springs (at both ends), though they are composite, not steel, and mounted transversely. Wow... way OT here. Sorry.

The Corvette at the top of the thread is at least a '61 (look at the rear end design) and the cove trim, if original, suggests it's a '62. (And the coves were available only in body color on the '62, though earlier models could also be bought that way, so it's not a sure ID.) And even a quick look at the spark plug location of the 914's engine shows it's not a Chevy V-6. Thanks for starting the thread, Bill.

Charles... send me the 28 'cron and I will try it! But I think I'll need at least a year with it to be convinced. FYI, there's little size difference between the hoods of the 28 Elmarit and 35 'lux ASPH, though they do seem interchangeable. The cap arrangement on the 35 is nicer, but the 28 E hood is easier to install and remove. -- norman

Wouldn't a properly built shade for a 35mm focal length's angle of view be likely to vignette on a 28mm (with its wider view)? Or have you tested this, Charles, and found it not to be a problem? Thanks.
