Canon A1 film SLR in excellent functional and cosmetic condition, with a 1984 Olympics branded 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 (accuracy was not verified with film). Shutter is squeak-free. Mirror guard and light seals are in very good shape, but can be replaced at buyer's request ($29 extra).
 

COSMETICS
Excellent, with no dents, cracks or other major blemishes. Minor scuffs and brassing throughout, consistent with average use and age. Sharp, legible lettering on the dials. Viewfinder and focusing screen are bright and clear, with just a few tiny specs of dust in the field of view (will not affect photo quality). Original leatherette is in excellent condition. Battery door is intact. Original finger grip and viewfinder cup are included.
