Canon A-1 | 35mm Film Camera | Single Lens Reflex | Tested & Working | Excellent condition-Fresh seals
The A-1 was the first SLR to offer an electronically controlled programmed autoexposure mode. This camera is an advanced-level single-lens reflex (SLR) 35 mm film camera for use with interchangeable lenses. The A-1 accepts any lens with the Canon FD breech-lock mount or Canon New FD pseudo-bayonet mount (sometimes called the FDn mount. There were approximately 55 Canon FD lenses available. It can also use most earlier FL lenses and some even older R (or Canomatic) series lenses, albeit with reduced functionality. EF lenses are not compatible with the A-1.
This Canon A-1 is in mint condition with very little to no signs of previous use. The light seals have been replaced. We tested this camera with a roll of Kodak 400 TMAX. Some of the example images are in the photo descriptions.
