[Canon] TL | February 1968

TL

TL 

 A simplified and cheaper version of the FT QL, this camera was made for the overseas mass market. The maximum shutter speed was only 1/500 sec. The camera lacked a self-timer and the QL feature but retained stop-down TTL metering. Although most TL cameras did not have QL, some cameras did, as shown in the photo.
