A Bell & Howell FD35 film camera - a clone of the Canon TX - with a Canon nFD 50mm f1.8 lens. 

I love this camera, first because it's the same as the Canon TX, which is a great Canon mechanical camera with all manual controls. But I also love it because of the Bell & Howell branding, which is strange and funky and fun. Check out that logo!

The camera is in pretty great condition with just a little marring of the chrome metal here and there. The camera has been film tested and everything seems to work. The light meter is maybe 1/2 stop off -- according to my measurements, if you're using a 1.5V alkaline battery and set the camera between 200 and 400 ASA for 400 ASA film, you should be fine.

The lens is in good cosmetic shape except for some denting of the focusing ring that could make it hard to screw in a filter. The lens has no scratches, but inside you can see haze and dust and light fungus. As a result, I'd expect the images shot with this lens would not be as contrast-y as they would be otherwise, particularly if you're shooting into light sources or the sun. The lens has not been film tested, but its aperture and focus rings seem to be operating correctly.

I haven't tested the camera with a flash.

Battery not included.

NOTE: The Canon nFD 50mm f1.8 lens included with this camera is not listed on the Camerapedia page for radioactive vintage lenses manufactured with thorium or other rare earths, but I have seen one photographer list it as testing slightly above normal background radiation levels. I ran my own tests with a dosimeter and sometimes found the lens averaging very slightly above background radiation when measuring in 60 minute blocks, although my latest tests looking at averages over 10 minute blocks show the lens about equal to normal background radiation. My best guess at this time is that my earlier tests were just detecting normal fluctuations in background radiation and the lens is thorium-free, but I am not a scientist and, as noted below in the disclaimer and return policy, I can't guarantee this lens or any lens is non-radioactive.

Disclaimer and Return Policy

Some vintage camera lenses were manufactured with thorium, which makes them slightly radioactive. Unless otherwise noted in the item description, to the best of our knowledge, the lenses sold through this store were not made with thorium. But since manufacturers have not released comprehensive lists of lenses with thorium, we cannot guarantee any lenses are thorium free. Customers should educate themselves and make their own decisions before purchasing.
