CANON AE1
Canon AE1 Chrome
One of the most popular Canon film cameras of its day, with a LED meter display, Program and Aperture Priority modes and a full set of manual shutter speeds. Robust camera, well regarded by advanced amateurs, but user-friendly for a beginner. This unit has just been serviced and ready to shoot.
FUNCTION
Shutter, timer, meter and film transport all work properly. Shutter is squeak-free. Light seals and mirror guard were just replaced ($25 value).
COSMETICS
EXC+. No dents of major scratches. Clear lettering on the dials. Focusing screen and viewfinder are bright, with a few tiny specs of dust only (will not affect operation). Battery door has a small chip on the bottom corner, but still closes and locks properly. Original leatherette is in excellent shape.
