Description from the seller
"--------------------
Description:
The legendary Canon AE-1 in a sought-after black finish, paired with a pristine FD 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. This unit has been professionally disassembled and cleaned to ensure a smooth analog photography experience.
A Milestone in Photographic History:
Launched in 1976, the Canon AE-1 was the world's first SLR camera to be equipped with a micro-CPU. This innovation made high-quality photography accessible to everyone, and today, it remains one of the most beloved cameras for both beginners and seasoned film enthusiasts. Its shutter-priority auto-exposure and robust build quality are hallmarks of Japanese engineering.
The Black Finish:
While the silver version is common, the professional black finish offered here is highly prized by collectors and photographers for its sleek, understated aesthetic.
Optics and Performance:
This kit includes the classic Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 lens. Known for its sharpness and beautiful "bokeh," this lens is perfect for portraits and street photography.
Maintenance and Condition:
Overhauled: The camera has undergone disassembly and cleaning.
Basic Operations: Tested and confirmed to be in good working order.
Lens Optics: In excellent condition, remarkably clear for its age.
Viewfinder: While there are minor dust particles, mold, and slight cloudiness present in the viewfinder, it does not significantly affect visibility when looking through the eyepiece.
Cosmetic Condition: Please refer to the photos for detailed aesthetic condition. The black finish shows the character of a vintage professional tool.
Technical Specifications:
Format: 35mm SLR
Lens Mount: Canon FD mount
Shutter Speeds: 2s to 1/1000s, B
Power Source: 4LR44 battery (not included)
