For sale is a nice clean Canon FTb QL with a Canon 100-200mm FD lens, a Canon 50mm 1.4 lens.
This camera is in excellent working condition. There are no dings, dents, haze or fungus in anything. Seals and bumper foam have been replaced this year. Shutter speeds sound good, and film advance is smooth.
The only hickup is someone engraved their SN# on the bottom plate at one point in it's history. They also put their # on the underside of the tele lens, which can be covered up or filled in. Other than normal scratches on the body, The paint is good, flash shoe works, and flash unit is in excellent condition. The 50mm and 100-200mm lenses are both in great shape, smooth focus, I can't see any scratches or coating loss on any of the front or rear elements.
The battery is good, I have not had any problems with the battery not metering properly. I've used a Kodak 625 which are readily available. This camera has served me well for several years without any glitches.
The camera includes the original eveready case, In good shape.
The flash unit and case. A Vivitar 2x Matched multiplier, for Canon FD.
The 100-200 lens has a nice hard case.
This would make a great student kit. I'm asking $75 for everything.
Shipping is $16 in the US, Paypal accepted.
Thanks for looking,
I will be listing a few other good lenses seperately that work with this kit.

Great camera! I have a couple that get frequent use and I love them....so solidly built, I often wonder what a camera built to these specifications would cost today....The engraving on the bottom can be "fixed" by leaving the camera in the half-case when shooting... :wink: This kit is worth the asking price if you know someone who wants a really well made and terribly under-rated camera. IMHO Anyway I will be hoping that this camera finds someone who can really appreciate it....

phirehouse, Thanks, it has been a very dependable camera, and definitely built like a brick phirehouse. I hope someone can enjoy it as much as I have.
 
The FTb is nice and solid – I've had mine for 30 years. Hope this finds a new user.
 
alex,
Thanks for the feedback! It's been a wonderful camera, but right now I have just to many camera's in my little collection! I don't have the time to shoot them all like I should.
