Clean Canon A-1 in fully functional condition, with FD 50mm prime lens. 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, film transport and self-timer work properly. Meter appears to respond properly to light, shutter and lens settings, but accuracy was not verified with film. Shutter is squeak-free. Light seals and mirror guard were just replaced ($29 value). Original finger grip and viewfinder cup are included.
 

COSMETICS
Very good. No major blemishes or dents, just minor scratches throughout and a touch of brassing next to strap lugs - nothing serious and consistent with age. Legible lettering on the dials. Focusing screen and viewfinder are bright and clear of dust. Original leatherette is in very good condition. Battery door has a small chip on the lower corner, but still closes properly.
