Canon FTb 35mm SLR Film Camera + 50mm F/1.4 FD-Mount

The Canon FTb is a fully mechanical 35mm SLR that delivers classic shooting control with Canon’s rugged reliability. Built during the golden age of SLR design, it offers a beautifully damped shutter, match-needle light metering, and full FD lens compatibility—all wrapped in an all-metal body that feels rock solid and ready for decades more use.

This particular kit includes the excellent Canon 50mm f/1.4 FD lens, a fast, standard prime with beautiful rendering and a well-deserved reputation for sharpness and smooth bokeh. With its bright f/1.4 aperture, it’s ideal for available-light photography, portraits, or simply getting that timeless shallow depth-of-field look on film.

The camera body has recently received a full CLA (clean, lubricate, adjust), ensuring accurate shutter speeds, smooth film advance, and reliable metering. It’s fully functional and ready for everyday use. Please note that the viewfinder prism has minor desilvering, which may appear as faint spots or edge fading, but it does not significantly interfere with composition or focus. The lens shows a few small scratches on the front element, but these should have little impact on image quality in most situations—especially when stopped down.
