The Canon EX Auto QL is a 35mm SLR introduced in the late 1960s, distinguished by its fixed rear lens group and interchangeable front element design rather than a fully interchangeable lens mount. It was positioned as a simplified, shutter-priority automatic body for users stepping up from fixed-lens cameras, with the QL designation referring to Canon's Quick Loading film system.

Hammer prices at recent UK auction have been modest, with the two recorded results landing at £31 and £40, giving a working range of roughly £31–£40 in today's saleroom. As of 2026 the EX Auto QL remains a budget-tier collectable, and what a clean example sells for at auction depends heavily on whether one of the dedicated EX front lens groups is included with the body.
