Canon A1 Black

  • Canon A1 Black

    Late-production Canon A-1 film SLR in excellent, fully functional condition. This particular bundle comes with a scarce 1980 Winter Olympics branded Canon 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 are original and in good condition. Original finger grip is included.
     

    COSMETICS
    EXC. No major blemishes or dents, just minor brassing on the sides and near strap lugs and a couple of small shallow dents on the bottom - nothing that will distract from overall clean appearance. Bright and legible lettering on the dials. Focusing screen and viewfinder are pristine. Original leatherette is in very good condition. Battery door is intact.
