- I once had the older non G-III QL17, but have never had my hands on the
- G-III model. If you can't tell any difference between the two, then the
- differences must be internal. If not, they might be only imaginary
- advertising features!
-
- Does the G-III have the same lens nomenclature as the older model? A
- different name, like Canon verses Canonette, is one area that might not
- change the basic specifications.
-
- There might have also been a change in the type of photocell. Earlier
- battery operated cadmium sulphide photocells, recovered slowly when exposed
- to bright light. The G-III might have had a newer cell, such as the
- "silicon blue", with faster response. How do these two compare, both in
- response time and in accuracy?
