[Canon] Canonet S | October 1964

Canonet S

Canonet S

 The Canonet's successor features the SE 45mm f/1.7 lens (6 elements in 4 groups) and was the first camera to incorporate Canon's automated design technology. The design improvements over the Canonet included a film advance lever placed on the top instead of a bottom winding trigger. The selenium exposure meter was replaced by a CdS exposure meter, enhancing the low sensitivity range to EV 2.5. The Canonet S was short-lived as the QL versions were introduced the following year.
