Canon AE-1

The Canon AE-1 is a classic 35 mm SLR film camera with interchangeable lenses and a Canon FD mount, manufactured in Japan from the mid-1970s into the early 1980s. This camera combines manual controls with a built-in light meter and shutter-priority exposure mode, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced film photographers. The AE-1 uses a horizontal cloth shutter with a wide range of shutter speeds and is fully electronically controlled, requiring a battery to operate. This example has been tested with a Duracell 28L battery, and both the shutter and the light meter are functioning correctly, indicating reliable exposure metering and that the camera is ready to shoot. With its Canon FD mount the camera accepts a wide range of FD lenses, providing flexibility for various photographic styles from landscapes to portraits. The body is in good optical and mechanical condition with clear controls, a bright viewfinder and dependable operation of both the light meter and shutter.
