Pros: Robustness, ease of use, easy handling, part of a great system of high quality optics.

Cons: None.

Opinion: It was part of a great and long analog journey, which began with a Canonflex RM, passed through an FT QL and then continued with the legendary F1 and then with the advent of electronics with the Canon EF, the AE1 and finally with the A1. I must say that, apart from F1, the FTb remains in the heart for its humility, its simplicity. The clamping collar optical mount was a brilliant prerogative, but the sturdiness and practicality were also admired. Remarkable optics and affordable price have made his fortune and the joy of many young photographers. It was perhaps not comparable with the Nikkormat, but at that time the dispute ignited the minds only of the magazines (I remember an article that belittled the FTb because it was guilty of needing two hands to change the optics: which is absolutely not true). Well, for sure many of my best analog photos were taken with this camera, because the joy of photographing with it aligned the heart and the eye with simplicity.

Pros: robustness.

Cons: ND

Opinion: It was my first Canon, then I switched to F1 and I have to say that there was no difference, perhaps in F1 a greater precision of the exposure meter, I found myself very well with my first car, so that today I do not live more in Italy, but in Brazil, I had the opportunity to meet one, as new and I did not let the opportunity slip, and it was for me a pleasure to return to the old days, I did not miss the "all-automatic" ", the only difference is that in digital shots and shots do not cost so much, but the charm of the film is something else.

Pros: Reliable, solid

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Purchased by my father in (May) 1972, who used her as an amateur for about fifteen years. Then put in a closet for 30 (!) Years. She gave it to me (after my request ;-) in May of this year, I take it to a photography store for fear of making damages after all this firm time ... and perfect, as if she had been wrapped in wardrobe the day before. Replaced only the pile of the meter with a non-mercury, put the roller and start shooting with more than a doubt despite the photographer's reassurance. Develop your photos, perfect, clean. Unbelievable. I do not think today's machines have the same constructive quality.

Pros: Manageability, strength, excellent meter reading lenses cheap

Cons: The mercury batteries are no longer, you have trouble finding it is correct (though occasionally appear on eBay)

Opinion: This machine is one of Canon's most famous of all time, is completely mechanical and shoot without a battery, mounted like any canon of old generations lenses Fd having the distinction of being very good in quality and cheap for obvious motivi.rnQuando held in hand with a sense of strength and compactness the smaller burden makes it an ideal machine to match the digital when walking down the street ..
