AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Condition
Appearance
There are fine scuffs, and the camera remains in very clean condition.
Optics
There is a small mark on the left side inside the viewfinder. It does not affect visibility, and it has no effect on the photographs taken, so you can buy with confidence. There is no fungus or haze in the viewfinder. Under a strong professional light, faint haze can be seen near the centre of the front element, but this has absolutely no effect on the photographs taken.
Function
Fully functional. All operations work properly without any issues.
Film transport has been tested and works correctly. The light seals have been replaced.
Accessories
Body cap
Front lens cap x1 (third-party)
Everything shown in the photos is included.
Description
The Canon A-1 is the flagship of Canon's A series, released in 1978 as the first camera in the world to offer full programmed automatic exposure alongside shutter priority, aperture priority and manual. Its all-black finish and red-lettered controls made it the look of a generation, and the digital LED display in the viewfinder was unlike anything else at the time. It comes here with the Canon New FD 50mm f/1.4, the fastest of the standard FD lenses.
Shipping
We ship via DHL, EMS, UPS, or other DDU methods. Import duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.
Final Message
Thank you very much for viewing this item. This camera takes Canon FD mount lenses. The light seals have been replaced, so it is ready to shoot as it is. Each item is carefully inspected and securely packed to ensure safe international delivery. We look forward to serving you.
