This camera body is substantially similar to the FT2 but has an AI/AIS compatible coupling which must/can be moved out of the way to accommodate earlier lens types. It weighs about 1 1/2 oz less than the FT2, has an FT3 engraving as a prefix to the serial number and the battery compartment cover specifies FT2/3 1.5 volts. Introduced mid 1977 with onset SN 6000001 and ended in 1979 with the FM introduction.
