single-lens reflex camera manufactured by Canon ofJapan from September1974 . It featured aCanon FD lens mount , and was also compatible with Canon's earlier FL-mount lenses in stop-down metering mode. The TX was a cheaper version of theCanon FTb for the export market, as was the slightly earlier TLb. Compared to the TLb, the TX had ahot shoe for flash.Compared to the FTb, the TX had a top shutter speed of only 1/500. The meter was center-weighted rather than the 12% partial meter of the FTb. It also dispensed with the self-timer and MLU of the FTb, although it did retain the depth of field preview lever and support for stopped-down metering. The TX also did not support the CAT (Canon Auto-Tuning) flash system.
It was also sold in the US as the
Bell & Howell FD35.
