This camera is older than I am haha. My dad had it with him in Vietnam, so it's had quite the history. He knows I'm into photography so he gave it to me! I'm actually looking forward to shooting with it, since you have to apply a lot more knowledge to use it successfully.

Those are nice cameras! Not a fan of the 50mm lenses myself though.

The FT-QL was/is a great camera.

This link is to the CANON Camera Museum's entry for the FT-QL: http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/film/data/1966-1975/1966_ftql.html?lang=us&categ=crn&page=1966-1975

You might want to look up a CANON repair facility and ship it off to them and get it checked out before you use it.

I have a CANON A1 that I bought back in "79" in Okinawa. About 10 years ago I noticed that the shutter was slowing down/not working right and shipped it off for a tune-up/overhaul, it was worth the money.
