Canon FTb QL Chrome with Canon 50mm F1.8 SC lens.
FTb
The Canon FTb was introduced by Canon in March 1971. It is a mid-range 35mm SLR designed to use the FD-fitting lenses from the Canon F-1 range.
The QL badge on the front denoted Canon’s Quick Load system; the film was placed across the take-up-spool and the back closed; the film was automatically wound around the spool when the advance lever was operated.
The pent prism viewfinder features a Fresnel matt focus screen with a micro prism focus aid. The FTb had open-aperture TTL metering, with a match-needle display in the viewfinder. Metering was powered by a 1.35v mercury battery – now unobtainable, but alternatives are available. Meter film speed range ran from 25 to 2000 ISO.
The self-timer control also acts as a stop-down lever.
The horizontal cloth focal plane shutter has speeds 1s to 1/1000s + B.
Standard lenses were 55mm f/1.2, 50mm f/1.4 or 50mm f/1.8.
The second version of the FTb, known unofficially as the FTbn, had an F-1 style stop-down lever and displayed the selected shutter speed in the viewfinder on a transparent rotating disc.
