Vintage Olympus FTL 35mm SL body for repairs / restoration

$ 31.67

Availability: 100 in stock

Format: 50 mm

Model: Olympus FTL

Brand: Olympus

All returns accepted: ReturnsNotAccepted

Type: SLR

Condition: Vintage Olympus FTL 35mm SL body for repairs / restoration. Fast shutter speeds seem to work ok, slower than 500 the mirror does not drop back down, and slower than 30 the curtains do not close back completely, leaving a very small slit of opening until the lever is advanced again. Meter is untested as I do not have a battery. The biggest issue with this body is the film door; it simply doesn't want to open. The only way I've gotten it open is to hold the release while simultaneously depressing the shutter in B and pushing on the the film door through the lens hole from the front; it does open then. Obviously the latch mechanism needs to be adjusted, beyond my expertise. Cosmetically, it's pretty clean as you can see.
