Canon A1 Black
Canon A1 Black
Canon A-1 in fully functional condition. One of the most advanced and full-featured Canon film cameras of its day, with a digital LED display for shutter speed and aperture and a full set of features. Robust camera, well regarded by advanced amateurs and semi-pro photographers, but user-friendly for a beginner. Full user manual is available at Butkus.org.
FUNCTION
Shutter and film transport work properly. Meter appears to respond properly to light, shutter and lens settings, but accuracy was not verified with film. Shutter is squeak-free. Self-timer light is inoperable, but the timer function works fine. Brand new seals were installed for years of trouble-free operation. Original finger grip and viewfinder cup are included.
COSMETICS
EXC. No major blemishes or dents, just some micro-scratches throughout from normal use and brassing on the bottom plate. Bright and clean lettering on the dials. Focusing screen and viewfinder are scratch- and dust-free. Original leatherette is in excellent condition. Battery door is intact.
