kenw Posted December 9, 2010 #1 Posted December 9, 2010 My dad died earlier this year and Mom wouls like to well his camera equip. It's all Cannon 35mm that I know of. I know there's an FTQL and probably an AOS with a lot of accessory lenses. If your interested please let me know, she lives in Northern Wisconsin if your in that area. Don, this probably isn't the right forum for this and I apoligise! (ask for forgiveness rather than permission) Kenw 770-917-9964
Venturous Randy Posted December 9, 2010 #2 Posted December 9, 2010 Ken, those were good cameras, but in today's world, they make a good paperweight. You might be able to post it on a local swap & shop, but unless you have someone specifically looking for a film type camera, it won't sell for much. The first thing you need to do it to remove the battery cover and make sure the battery is not corroded. If that area is corroded and eat up, there is not much you can do. That series of camera dates back to 1966. I have a Canon AE1 and I really do enjoy the varity of pictures I can take as compared to my Nikon L110 digital. RandyA
kenw Posted December 9, 2010 Author #3 Posted December 9, 2010 I hear you, I relaced my $500 ftql with a $150 little camera that takes excellent pictures, but there are always purists out there!
painterman67 Posted December 9, 2010 #4 Posted December 9, 2010 quick question ? will the lenses work on a cannon eos rebel ts1? David
bkuhr Posted December 10, 2010 #5 Posted December 10, 2010 I have both cannon AE1P and EOSxti with interchangable cannon and tameka lenses.
SC89Venture Posted December 10, 2010 #6 Posted December 10, 2010 Just a thought, check with your local high or middle school, see if they have a photography class or contact the staff that does the yearbook. Maybe you could donate it to a project like that.

About the only value left in a film camera is it's collectabliity, based on quality, condition, and rarity. The old Canons and lenses were a good camera to shoot, but didn't demand anything as a collectable. The old F1n did come out in an Olympic model, but that's about the only Canon I can think of that might fall into a collectable catagory.
