The FTb is one of the great mechanical 35mm SLRs of the early 70s, sitting just below the professional F-1 in Canon's lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera was tested with film and performed great. All shutter speeds are very accurate (tested with a shutter analyzer), showing very good curtain speed symmetry. The light meter is working well. The only minor issue is that the 'battery check' switch in not working (this is mostly academic as 675 batteries are designed to maintain stable voltage for their useful life and then go flat very rapidly). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included lens is a very sharp Canon FD 50mm f1.8 (all-metal breech lock style). It also includes a beautiful vintage woven strap. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBattery info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera originally used a now-unavailable PX-625 mercury battery but a modern 675 zinc air cell (available as an option) works perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the camera and the lens were tested with film and performed perfectly.  The camera and lens are also in very good cosmetic condition.
