Canon AE-1 SLR with a new FD 35-70mm f/4 lens; body in good physical condition and tested and working.
Description from the seller
"--------------------
Description:
An iconic example of Japanese precision: the Canon AE-1 in its classic silver finish, paired with a versatile New FD 35-70mm f/4 zoom lens. This set is a perfect gateway for those looking to experience the world of analog film photography.
The Historical Significance:
Launched in 1976, the Canon AE-1 changed the world of photography forever. It was the first SLR camera to integrate a micro-CPU, allowing for sophisticated shutter-priority auto-exposure. Its reliability and ease of use made it a global bestseller and it remains a cult classic among film enthusiasts today.
Versatile Zoom Lens:
This kit features the New FD 35-70mm f/4 lens. This constant-aperture zoom lens covers the most essential focal lengths, from wide-angle for landscapes to short-telephoto for portraits, making it a highly practical "walk-around" lens for vintage photography.
Technical Condition:
Body (Canon AE-1 Silver): All basic functions have been tested and are working correctly (Power, Shutter, Shutter Speeds). The light meter is active, though precision is not guaranteed due to its vintage nature. The Date Back A is also powered.
Lens (New FD 35-70mm f/4): The mechanics are smooth, including the helicoid and aperture rings.
Optics: The body viewfinder has minor dust but remains clear for composition. The lens shows some internal dust, moderate cloudiness (haze), and mold, typical for its age, which may add a soft, vintage character to images but does not prevent overall use.
Physical Appearance: Shows moderate signs of use including scratches and scuffs consistent with its history, giving it an authentic vintage aesthetic. Please refer to the photos for a detailed visual assessment.
Key Features:
Type: 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR)
Mount: Canon FD Mount
Exposure: Shutter-priority AE and manual override
Battery: Requires 1x 4LR44 battery (not included)
This is a functional and beautiful piece of Japanese engineering, ready to capture new memories on film.
