Canon FT QL 35mm SLR Camera

Introduced a year after the Pellix, the FT QL had a normal quick-return reflex mirror and stop-down TTL metering. The finder's condenser lens was cut at a 45-degree angle. Twelve percent of the image area surface was semi-silvered with vapor deposition. The incident light reflected by this semi-transparent mirror was directed to the metering element. The viewfinder had match-needle exposure metering. The distance to the metering element was the same as the distance to the focal plane. Therefore the camera had the same focal plane metering characteristics as the Pellix.

The QL stands for Quick Load.

The Canon Booster for low-light metering down to EV 3.5 (23 sec. at f/1.4) was available as an optional accessory attachable to the accessory shoe.

Because of the way the lens on the Canon G series works, you cannot screw an lens or filter directly on.

Instead, these cameras are designed to accept lens adapters that click on.

NOTE:  Be very careful when screwing adapters and lenses on.  If you cross thread them they won't go on properly

Here are 3 examples of what the G10 looks like with an adapter and lens/filter:
