Canon FTb-QL Manual Focus SLR Camera With Canon 50mm f/1.8 FL Lens (Renewed)

TTL (Through-the-Lens) Metering: The FTb features a TTL light meter, which provides accurate exposure readings based on the light passing through the lens. This was an important feature in the era of manual cameras.

Shutter and Exposure Control: It offers a vertical-travel, metal focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/1000th of a second, plus a bulb (B) mode for long exposures. The exposure is set manually, and the light meter helps in determining the correct shutter speed and aperture combination.

Lens Compatibility: The FTb uses Canon’s FD lens mount, which is compatible with a wide range of FD as well as FL lenses, offering flexibility for various types of photography.

Build and Design: The FTb-QL features a fully mechanical design, meaning it doesn’t rely on batteries for shutter operation (except for the light meter). The camera has a rugged metal body and a traditional, ergonomic design, with a built-in flash sync terminal for external flash attachments.

Quick Load Mechanism (QL): One of the standout features of this model is the Quick Load film transport system, which made it easier and faster to load film into the camera, a useful feature for those who frequently changed rolls.
