This is the Canon AE-1 35mm film camera produced in 1981. This is a consumer mid grade A series camera. This camera comes with a Canon 50mm FD f/1.8 lens.

The camera has the following features:
* It uses an electronically-controlled, electromagnet horizontal cloth focal plane shutter
* Shutter speed range of 2 to 1/1000 second plus Bulb and flash X-sync of 1/60th second.
* accepts FD and FDn lenses as well as older FL mount lenses.
* uses a standard 6v Duracell X28LB type camera battery commonly found at camera shops and on Amazon.


It also had the addition of the Program AE mode first seen in the A-1. This mode sets both the shutter speed and aperture automatically—albeit with a slight bias towards the shutter speed setting. The user focuses the camera and then presses the shutter button. For those desiring more control, the AE-1's shutter priority auto-exposure and full manual modes are still available.

The camera body is 87 mm tall, 141 mm wide, and 48 mm deep;

They do need an A544 6V alkaline battery to function.

These cameras are n excellent or very good condition and will be a wonderful addition to a vintage camera collection or for a photography student.
