Based on a quick look at Lea's Register of 35mm SLR cameras - the FT-QL would 
have ranked below the Pellix, thus making it second from the top. The Pellix 
appeared in 1965, the Pellix QL in 1966, and is was listed at $300+. The 
FT-QL was introduced in 1966 and listed at $300. The less featured TL-QL 
arrived in 1968 at a lower price. The high end F1 was introduced in 1971. 
Apparently the FT-QL was replaced by the FTb in1971.
