Canon T70 | Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 - Good Condition | The Micro-Computer Era Analog Icon The Canon T70, introduced in 1984, was a revolutionary leap into the "computer age" of photography. It was the first 35mm SLR to embrace a futuristic, button-driven interface and a large top-plate LCD, replacing traditional dials with precision digital control. This kit features the "Multiple Program AE" system, offering three distinct programmed modes (Standard, Tele, and Wide) to suit any lens or shooting scenario. Paired with the legendary Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 lens—renowned for its natural perspective and edge-to-edge sharpness—the T70 is a robust, motorized workhorse that provides the perfect balance of vintage analog character and sophisticated 1980s technology. +1 Key Features Multiple Program AE: Three daylight program modes (Standard, Tele, Wide) for automated precision Dual Metering System: Switch between Center-weighted Average and 11% Selective Area (Partial) metering Motorized Film Transport: Fully automatic film loading, advance (0.7 fps), and rewind Shutter-Priority AE & Manual Modes: Full creative control with shutter speeds up to 1/1000s Large Top LCD Panel: Displays all essential shooting data, frame count, and battery status Iconic Design: A sleek, lightweight, and durable chassis that defined the 80s aesthetic Technical Specifications Camera Type: 35mm SLR Camera Lens Mount: Canon FD Mount Shutter Speeds: 2s to 1/1000s + Bulb Metering: TTL Dual System (Average / Partial) Category: Cameras ▸ 35mm SLR Camera Battery Type: 2x AA Batteries Specialist Note "The T70 is a fascinating bridge between the purely mechanical SLRs and the modern EOS system. What makes this camera stand out is the Dual Metering; being able to switch to 'Selective Area' metering is a lifesaver for backlit subjects or dramatic stage lighting. The 50mm f/1.8 FD lens is a masterpiece of optical purity—it's incredibly sharp and provides a beautiful, soft bokeh when shot wide open. Because it runs on standard AA batteries, it’s one of the most practical vintage SLRs for travel and daily street photography." Condition Report Good condition. The camera body shows normal signs of light use and minor surface scuffs consistent with its age. The digital LCD is clear and fully functional. The FD 50mm f/1.8 lens features clear optics, free from fungus or haze, and the focus ring operates with a smooth, dampened feel. The motorized film transport and dual metering systems have been tested and are fully operational. +1 What's Included Canon T70 35mm SLR Body Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 Prime Lens Front Lens Cap Canon Neck Strap
