Canon T50 35mm film SLR camera w/ FD 35-70mm lens + Speedlite 277T flash + ever-ready case (serial 1061065)

The circa 1983 Canon T50 is a wonderfully minimalist FD mount 35mm SLR that's perfect for right-brain photographers who don't want to get bogged down with features and controls. Apart from its manual focus and rewinding, it's offers an almost fully automatic shooting experience. It nearly as easy to use as a point-and-shoot. 

The lens is a compact and flexible FD 35-70mm zoom 

The included Canon Speedlite 277T also enhances the usefulness and simplicity of this camera, here's how it's described in the manual: "The Speedlite 277T is an automatic, electronic flash unit designed especially for the T70 and T50. In the "PROGRAM" mode, the 277T sets both the shutter speed and aperture automatically. Because it responds to a wide range of illuminations from dark surroundings to bright, you can even use this flash for supplemental lighting during the daytime".

A blue blue woven Canon 'ever-ready' case is also included. 

Battery information

The camera requires two alkaline AA batteries (not included) for power. The flash uses four alkaline AA batteries (not included).

The T50 has excellent battery life. Canon estimates a pair of AA alkaline batteries should last for 75 24-exposure rolls of film when shooting at room temperature. Battery life is significantly less in cold weather. 

Condition notes

The camera, lens, and flash are in very good condition (see photos). The included 'ever-ready' case is in good condition except for its black leatherette parts show wear from age (see photos). We tested camera and lens with a calibrated light source and shutter tester and they show excellent exposure accuracy.
