Description from the seller
CANON FTb QL FD 50mm F1.4, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Canon FTb QL (1971) is a robust, all-mechanical 35mm SLR from Canon's FD-mount era, with TTL centre-weighted metering and Canon's Quick Loading (QL) system for fast, reliable film loading. A hugely popular enthusiast camera of the early 1970s, it accepts both FD and older FL lenses. Offered here with the fast Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 — a large-aperture standard lens well regarded for its rendering in low light.
