Canon T50 35mm film SLR camera w/FD 50mm f1.8 lens (serial 1316532)

The Canon T50 is a minimalist FD mount SLR from the early 1980s. It comes with a sharp Canon 50mm F1.8 FD lens. 

The T50 is 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.

Battery information

The camera requires two normal AA batteries (not included). Rechargeable batteries cannot be used with this camera. 

Condition notes

The camera and lens are in very good condition (see photos). The exposure accuracy was excellent in our testing.
