Canon FTb 35mm Analog SLR
The Canon FTb 35mm SLR camera (1971) was primarily intended to be a camera for the advanced amateur photographer. Whilst offering many of the same features and same build quality as the professional F-1, it came without the option of interchangeable prisms, focusing screens, or motor drive capability.
The all-mechanical camera was revised slightly in 1973. It was given a plastic tipped film advance lever, and it's stop down lever changed to the same style as that found on the F-1 and a couple of other cosmetic changes including a shutter speed display that was added to the lower left hand corner of the viewfinder. This model was unofficially known as FTb-N or FTbn.
