Olympus FTL

The Olympus FTL is a 35mm film SLR introduced in the early 1970s. It used an M42 screw lens mount, an unusual choice for Olympus, and was a short-lived model produced before the company shifted its SLR line to the OM bayonet system.

With only a thin sales record to draw on, recent UK auction hammer prices for the Olympus FTL sit in a narrow £35–£38 range, giving a median around £37 in today's market. Because these are wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail, what an FTL is worth at a shop counter typically sits higher, and condition and the presence of a working meter are the main factors that decide whether one sells for the lower or upper end of that band.
