The Canon FP (JL69) and Vivitar 200mm f/3.5 (R7) have been inspected, cleaned, repaired where required, and tested by CPB Darkroom. The Canon FP is in excellent working condition, with all buttons, dials, shutter speeds, and film transport mechanisms operating correctly. The viewfinder is clean and provides a clear view for composing and focusing.

The Canon FP does not have a built-in light meter, so exposure must be determined using an external light meter or a light metering app. This is a standard characteristic of the camera and does not indicate a fault.

The included Vivitar 200mm f/3.5 is in good working condition. The optics are clear, the manual focus operates smoothly, and the aperture blades respond correctly. Minor dust or light marks may be present due to the age of the lens, but these do not significantly affect practical image quality.

Cosmetically, the Canon FP body is in excellent condition, showing only very minor wear and light scratches consistent with careful use. The Vivitar lens is in good overall cosmetic condition with signs of age and regular use. The images shown depict the exact camera and lens you will receive.

The Canon FP is a fully mechanical 35mm SLR introduced in the mid-1960s, known for its robust all-metal construction and straightforward manual operation. Paired with a 200mm f/3.5 telephoto prime, this setup is particularly suited to portraits, nature, distant subjects, compressed landscapes, and other situations where additional reach is useful. The bright f/3.5 maximum aperture also provides greater flexibility when focusing and shooting in lower light than many slower vintage telephoto lenses.

This camera uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing images in the 24 × 36 mm format.

Camera and lens kits sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter operation, film transport reliability, optical clarity, focusing and aperture operation, and overall mechanical functionality. Any cosmetic, optical, or functional notes are clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.
