The model Olympus FTL was the first single reflex using 36x24mm format from Olympus. The model was launched in 1971 as the follow-up of the Olympus Pen-F system and was stopped in 1972 when the OM –system was released. The short life span of the FTL system was not a good move from Olympus, and was not sold in great numbers, this deu to the high price at that moment. The system is not large . It contains 6 lenses and a bellows system. These items where not manufactured in large numbers. All together a very smal and rare system.
