Small enough that it can be worn as a wrist watch. The lens is only 25mm but it's f 2.8 (!). In my opinion all the cameras shown so far in this thread lack a certain feel of sophistication worthy of shooting film. This camera is pure class.

I've been playing with this little fella. 45mm f1.9 lens. The lens is sharpest between f4 and 5.6. It's jokingly referred to as the poor man's Leica. I love it and so many were made you can get them for between $20-$40 This is the original model with the film advance on the bottom. I think these are classier but much harder to find seeing as it came out in 1961.
- It's the Canon Canonet apologies for not putting that in the description.jonny_quest_lives

I inherited my dad's Canonet GL-17 III, very nice.... rangefinder 40mm F1.7 lens, shutter priority, but it used batteries that are hard to fnid.. that said it worked fine in manual.... I loved rangefinders, most people don't.... I also had a Konica S2, 45mm F2.0 with better bokeh, but larger camera body...
