The Canon Canonet 28 is a handsome and practical 35 mm rangefinder film camera introduced around 1971 by Canon as a more affordable entry into the Canonet line. 
It features a fixed 40 mm f/2.8 lens (5 elements in 4 groups) that offers excellent sharpness and contrast. 
Exposure is handled by a programmed electric-eye metering system (CdS cell) which automatically sets shutter and aperture (shutter range approx. 1/30 s to 1/620 s) with film speeds from ISO 25-400. 
A coupled rangefinder helps with accurate manual focusing for precise capture. With its compact metal body and classic styling, the Canonet 28 is an excellent choice for both beginning film photographers and seasoned shooters looking for a dependable analog companion.
