Canon FTb, my third camera
I bought the camera in April 1974 and used it until the last minute when I was robbed of it in January 1983.
A few years later I bought a another one for sentimental reasons.
1974. Canon FTb, flash National PE-2850, Soligor extension tube + tele converter and lens Tokina 200 mm f/1:3,5.
2017. For sentimental reasons I bought a another Canon FTb camera, I still have the other things.
This manual is all I have left from my purchase of the original camera. Notice that it is showing a
f/1:1.4 S.S.C. lens with black front even though I got the older f/1:1.4 lens with "chrome nose".
