Canon A-1 Vintage SLR 35mm Film Camera with f/1.8 50mm Prime Lens

The Canon A 1 is an advanced-level single-lens reflex (SLR) 35 mm film camera for use with interchangeable lenses. It was manufactured by Canon Camera K. K. (today Canon Incorporated) in Japan from April 1978 to 1985. It employs a horizontal cloth-curtain focal-plane shutter with a speed range of 30 to 1/1000 second plus bulb and flash synchronization speed of 1/60 second. Unlike most SLRs of the time, it was available in only one colour; all black.

The A1 is a historically significant camera. It was the first SLR to offer an electronically controlled programmed autoexposure mode. The A-1 accepts any lens with the Canon FD breech lock mount (introduced in 1971) or Canon New FD pseudo-bayonet mount (sometimes called the FDn mount, introduced 1979). It can also use most earlier FL lenses and some even older R (or Canomatic) series lenses, albeit with reduced functionality. This excludes all of Canon’s EF bayonet mount autofocus lenses (introduced in 1987).

• Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 Lens
