swoop
Well-known
My dad found one in the back of a cab awhile ago and held on to it while I was gone in Milwaukee. He just told me about it the other day and handed it over. It's in surprisingly good condition. Even with a 50mm f1.4 lends mounted on it. I've been playing with it since yesterday trying to burn a roll through to see how it works.
I'm still trying to get used to the meter. And even worse, I remember why I quit using SLR's. Focusing with them is so damn annoying. Also, it's weird getting closer than three feet to my subject.

The FTb was a fine camera. I prefered the Nikkormat FTn to her, but I blame that on my Father. IMHO the swing happens around 85-105mm where SLRs do a better job. For 50 and wider RFs rule. SLRs can do an OK job, but they are not as quick. I carry one RF and one SLR because for me, life continues beyond 135mm!
Give her a great new home and put her to good use.
