Very underrated camera, was VERY glad they hadn't shot up in value when I picked one up. Its built like a tank, simple to operate, has classic timeless styling and while the lightmeter is basic it does the job. I have the FTb QN and having the shutter speed visible in the viewfinder is a nice feature. This is the one I'd recommend. Got mine for $100 with the 50mm f1.4 S.C.C which is easily worth $100 by itself.
This camera changed (saved ) my life. I received this camera and lens combination as a high school graduation present (barely graduated) in August 1971. It was an incredible sacrifice for my parents but it changed me from a listless teenager with no direction into a young man with a passion for seeing the world through the lens of a camera. 📷✨🌟
I am a 50+ year Nikon user, but I have two Ftb QLs and an original Canon F-1. Great cameras with incredible lenses! If Canon had offered a professional model back when, I probably would have gone with them. Excellent video!
@@mortimersnerd8044 Many years too late introducing it. I was already well entrenched in Nikon by the time Canon decided they needed a professional camera, just like Pentsx did with their LX.
Wow, nice set of lenses!!! Bought an FTB with 2 50 mils and off brand 28, 135 and a huge zoom best used for bicep curls!!! All for 50 bucks. Had an FTB on yearbook staff in Highschool (1975). Great camera!!!!
Wish I could find such deals in Australia. Just one of my FD lenses would have been about AUS$150 Be nice to have some of the older L lenses but they fetch a high price.
Salve che batteria usa sulla FTB ? una da 1.5 Volt ? Si dovrebbe usare 1.3 Volt sembra che l esposimetro tenda a sovraesporre , vedremo quando avro`i risultati del rullino
I've never owned a Minolta film camera, but I do know back in the day they were at the top of their game. They were held in higher regard than Canon. I believe they were more expensive so didn't sell as many as Canon, so you find less on the used market these days. Will do a little research myself and pickup a Minolta film camera, just to have a piece of history.
This is my favourite video!
I watched this almost four times, I hope you success in your TH-cam career!
Thank you. Much appreciated

This camera had a huge impact on my work as well. More in the later years. I go into in my first video, how film got me out of a creative slump

The F1 was, in every way, a professional camera

I just bought a Canon FTb at an antique store recently. Can’t wait to test it out.
Awesome. I actually own two FTb's incase I need the parts for my main one :)

@@giuseppdantesapienza I got lucky at an antique store. No one there knew if it worked or it's value!!!
My favourite film camera too along with the Nikon F ❤️
I may have to invest in an old Nikon film camera, just to experience the old classics... along with an old Minolta.
This is one of my favorites. I like the Canon EF a bit more.

Is it film only or can the pictures also be digital for you can save them to post on social media?
do you know which filmed you used for the pictures in 5:18 ?
Portra 400. what you see are scans from prints. So there maybe a little variance to the original prints.
What make is your ND filter?
I get all my filters and adapters from Urth urth.co
Whats better, a minalta or canon, same style
