Description from the seller
Canon FTb QL (black) 35mm SLR (1971) with Canon FL 50mm f/1.8 lens. Powers on and works, but with several faults noted below.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Canon FTb is a mechanical 35mm SLR introduced by Canon in 1971 as the advanced-amateur model in its FD-mount system, positioned just below the professional Canon F-1. It offers TTL match-needle metering through a CdS cell, a fully mechanical cloth focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1 second to 1/1000, and Canons Quick Load (QL) self-threading film system. Its all-metal construction, bright viewfinder and simple, battery-independent operation make it a durable and rewarding camera that remains popular with film shooters and collectors today. The Canon FD mount lenses can also be fitted to modern mirrorless bodies via inexpensive adapters, giving the optics continued practical use.
Important — please read carefully:
This camera powers on and the meter responds, but please note: the slow shutter speeds are sticky, the shutter-speed dial is stiff, there is some prism deterioration in the finder (not too noticeable in normal use), and the lens has haze (please see the photos). Please review the photos and consider this before bidding.
