For Sale Black Paint CLA'd Canon FTb QL w/ FL 35mm f/2.5 Lens

[wjlapier]

Black paint Canon FTb QL body with Canon FL 35mm f/2.5 lens. The body was CLA'd by Ken Oikawa this year. New seals all around and meter adjusted for 1.5v batteries. Slightest paint loss on the corners. NO dings or dents. Numbers engraved on the bottom plate--not mine. The 35mm lens is a beauty. In excellent working condition. Includes the original lens hood and lens cap. Smooth working lens. No rear cap--that's what the camera is for. I'll include a screw in lens cap--I preferred this to the original. Buyer can do what they want. Luigi strap included as well--I have many. Shipping free in CONUS. International buyers must pay $70 for flat rate international priority mail. $275-->$260 s/p.

Price dropped to $260 and adding some film and the Canon case. Probably why the body is in such great condition. Film is fresh with the exception of the row of film in boxes in the top row and the 1600 ISO film. Red film case included too.

You won't find a better condition vintage Canon FD camera anywhere for this price especially when you factor in the CLA and the new seals.

I'm motivated to sell this camera and lens. I'm just about done with 35mm film--I have a couple of Olympus zoom P+S left. But just a couple of things to consider for the person who might be interested in the camera and is looking at eBay prices to compare. Factor in a CLA and new light seals and that the work was done by the best tech in the US for the job. The lens is smooth working and shows very little signs of use, and includes the original hood and front cap. I will entertain reasonable offers.

I have a number of FTb cameras, both chrome and black and a number of 35/2.5 FL lenses. I like the 35/2.5 FL more than the 28/3.5 FL but I prefer the 35/2 FD SSC (1st Version). I would rather use the FD lens on an older FT QL than the older lens on an FTb. The main reason I like the original FTb more than the FTbN is that it is more comfortable to slide the depth of field lever over. The top plate in the accessory shoe is often missing from FTb cameras. Yours has the plate and also the neat E-P marking.

Thank you for the comment. I like the FL 35 f/2.5 lens a lot. Plenty sharp on my Sony A6000 with a few preliminary tests.

I wouldn't mind keeping the lens and letting the body go ( with body cap ) with the camera case and film ( and some more film and film cases--see pic below ) for $195 shipped. International buyers still pay $70 additional.
