The Canon FT QL is a fully mechanical camera, so it can also be used without the built-in light meter. Weighing 1.04 kg with the 50 mm lens (compared to the OM-1n’s 677 grams, also with a 50 mm lens), it is anything but light, and it is not particularly small either. The lenses are attached with the FL bayonet, the later FD lenses also fit. The camera was built from 1966 to 1971, the blue lettering on the battery test lever, the round knob under the rewind crank and the complete lettering under the cocking lever indicate an early model.
