Canon T50 35mm film SLR camera w/ FD 35-70mm lens + case (serial 1992261)
The Canon T50 is a minimalist FD mount SLR from the early 1980s. It's a fun, easy camera to use. This camera includes a lightweight and flexible Canon FD 35-70mm f3.5-4.5 zoom lens.
It's a perfect SLR for someone who prefers simplicity and a clean design over the usual everything-but-the-kitchen-sink feature list from Canon. Except for focusing and the film speed setting dial, it is completely automatic.
With the addition of a flash (available as an option) for low-light shooting, the T50 approaches point-and-shoot simplicity.
Battery info
The camera requires two normal AA batteries (not included).
Condition notes
The camera, lens, and case are in very good condition (see photos). We tested all the camera's functions, including exposure accuracy and motor winding and it is working well.
