Re: Any Canon guru's out there? Need some help with my old FTb

198.161.19.1

I have an FTb-n (originally had an FTb but it was stolen from my high-school locker) and have had it for almost 30 years. I also have 2 AE-1Ps. I also had the same problem with the shutter as you. Last year, I replaced the shutter mechanism. It cost me about $130 Canadian dollars labor included. I still like my FTb better than my AE-1s. It's more robust and being mechanical, is not prone to having the battery die on me.

Also, I feel the FD optics of that time are better than the current range of Canon lenses (but that's just an opinion). I also prefer manual focus.
