CANON FTb QL Black + FD 35-70mm F3.5-4.5, tested and working. Hello from Japan! We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world. The Canon FTb, introduced in 1971 alongside the professional F-1, was Canon's mainstay mechanical SLR of the 1970s and the camera that brought the then-new FD lens mount to a wide audience. Its trademark QL (Quick Loading) system makes film loading nearly foolproof, and the match-needle CdS meter reads through the lens at full aperture with the 12% partial metering area Canon carried over from the F-1. The black-finish bodies were produced in smaller numbers than chrome and are sought after by collectors. The FD 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom is a compact, practical standard zoom that suits the body's workhorse character. Important — please read carefully: There is haze in the lens.

Optical Condition Lens / Sensor: Haze present Functional The camera operates properly and the meter responds — see the measured figures above. Measured Performance We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured: - 1 s — measured 1/1 s (on the mark) - 1/60 — measured 1/57 s (approx. 0.1 stop slow) - 1/1000 — measured 1/1010 s (on the mark) - Light meter accuracy — EV12: 1.0 OVER / EV15: 1.2 OVER Negative film has enough latitude to absorb deviations of this size, but the figures are here so you can judge for yourself. Servicing This camera was serviced by us before listing: - Light seals (foam) replaced Known Issues 1. The battery-check lever does not respond. The meter itself works correctly, so shooting is unaffected. 2. There is some dust and haze in the lens — this may slightly reduce contrast against the light. 3. The meter reads about +1.0 to +1.2 EV — a modest overexposure bias that negative film tolerates well. Bundled Items Only what you can see in the pictures will be included in the package.
