This ia an old item made in 1966 so this must be remebered, it comes from a time when things were made to last, strong and heavy comes to mind. Very tactile, lovely to hold and use. has every thing you would need and expect from a 1960's camera. build quality is superb. Fantastic range of lenses not just from canon and plenty of very fast glass. I love shooting with film and with this camera, the metering is spot on just remeber the basic rules of photography. I would recomend this camera to any one who wants to use a film camera again. They ares imply devine to use and own.
The FT ql is a nice little camera for the manual shooter and film enthusiast. Works without a battery (except meter) should you loose power across a day of shooting. Solid construction. Vast number of inexpensive and really good FL lenses available. The downsides of this camera include a lack of hot shoe, very early and somewhat clunky TTL metering, and the pentaprisms are often showing signs of silver separation. The fact that it’s a 50 year old camera and while they often have some wear issues can be a great tool and a good value. I also have a collection of Canon Pellix cameras which have essentially the same body with a fixed pellical mirror. Both very well built and while the Pellix is a bit more unique the FT retains the same great user controls.

No plastic here, these are metal, aluminum , and copper framed cameras with heft and quality through and through. If you are considering re-entering the 35mm film format, this would make a great first cameras to get reacquainted.
