The Canon AE-1 is a 35 mm single-lens reflex (SLR) film camera for use with interchangeable lenses. It was manufactured by Canon Camera K. K. (today Canon Incorporated) in Japan from April 1976 to 1984. It uses an electronically controlled, electromagnet horizontal cloth focal plane shutter, with a speed range of 2 to 1/1000 second plus Bulb and flash X-sync of 1/60 second. The camera body is 87 mm tall, 141 mm wide, and 48 mm deep; it weighs 590 g. Most are black with chrome trim, but some are all black.
The AE-1 is a historically significant SLR, both because it was the first microprocessor-equipped SLR and because of its sales: backed by a major advertising campaign, the AE-1 sold over 5.7 million units,[1][2] which made it an unprecedented success in the SLR market.
This Particular Film camera body is in very good condition and each function in this camera works as it should. Advanced Lever, ASA speeds, Film counter, Film winder, light meter; all working nicely. Viewfinder is nice and clean. New light seal has been installed as well. What you see in the listing will what you get.
