Great all manual mechanical camera from Canon made in 1966, able to withstand the test of time, working even at the age of 50, took some of my favourite shots using it paired with the Canon FDn 50mm F1.8. The camera has more advanced features compared some other models made later on even though it was older, it had mirror lock up, which can be handy, a self timer, the great canon quick load system, really helps out in making the whole reloading process easier and even allowed for the occasional extra 1 or 2 shots if loaded properly. Wasn't able to test the light meter simply due to mine dying out.
Overall, this is a pretty nifty camera, if you can find one with a working light meter, no shutter capping/bounce, and no light leaks for under $30 USD, it would be a great purchase.
