Canon T70 - w/ Kodak Ultramax 400 Film

  


 



Done with this.... Canon T70 ( 1985 )... Weston super Mare, May 2025.


 I love doing film photography. The costs nowadays are high, so I only do it sparingly. Very little change from £30 after the cost of the film, then sending off for development, prints, and return.  

I bought a T70 new in 1985. Canon's first foray into SLR's with microprocessors. I'd  been using a Nikon L35AF compact camera, and underestimated how inconvenient to lug around a full size SLR could be. Ultimately, the T70 didn't receive too much use. 

Many of the Nikon L35's have now succumbed to age, electro-mechanical, and lens issues. The Canon T70's seem to be just about bomb-proof.  I bought several about 6 years ago, for £10 - £25 each. They've all worked. They're still cheap now. And the Canon FD lenses are top notch. You just have to be OK with doing manual focusing. Having said that, the split prism focusing aid in the viewfinder almost does the job for you. Lens here is the 35-70mm zoom lens that I think most T70's came with.
