Description: Up for sale is a nice example of a classic CANON 35mm film SLR camera, the AE-1. The successor to Canon's classic AE-1 camera, the AE-1 program introduced a variety of new features to the line, including Program mode and manual shooting in addition to the shutter priority shooting of its predecessor As a result of its reliability and useful feature set, it became and remains a popular choice among both beginners and seasoned film shooters due to its flexibility and reliability, along with its use of widely available and affordable Canon FD mount lenses. Nice vintage condition, clean with light handling wear,bumping (see pics) minor corrosion. Sall splash of white paint on leatherette. Additionally, this camera has had its original degraded foam seals replaced with permanent cinema-style wool seals, and mirror brake has been relubed for squeak-free/correctly-timed mirror and shutter operation. This is particularly important as most unserviced "squeaky" examples suffer from inconsistent/incomplete exposures, resulting in frequent ruined photos if left unaddressed. Includes Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 lens, Canon 188A flash, mini grip, strap, and lens cap.
