This camera is what everyone thinks of when they hear film camera - and rightfully so. It's a staple piece of equipment in Canon's early days. It's reliable, beyond simple to operate and load film, and it has a really great light meter - I haven't needed to use an external meter. The program mode REALLY works. If you want to leisurely take photos, set it to program and let the camera select the best aperture and shutter speed - it hasn't disappointed me yet. I also love how compact it is. I can take it anywhere - vacation, cabin, coffeeshop, park, downtown, etc., and I'm not afraid of damaging it. And it looks incredible, let's be real. The only con I can think of is that the maximum shutter speed reaches only 1/1000. However, it's not bad at all if you don't mind stopping down a bit or using a lower ISO/ASA film speed. This camera shines when using Portra 160, Portra 400 rated at 200, Kodak Ektar 100, Kodak Gold 200, and Cinestill 50D.Read full review

extremely nice heavy duty camera. takes super pictures and has all the settings you need. has super fast shutter speed for excellent night time shots without a flash. compact giant that you will cherish forever. easy to use. manual or automatic. I just set it on automatic and let the camera do the rest. goodbye digital and hello AE-1. SUPER FUN TO USE CAMERA. WALGREENS DEVELOPS THE 35MM FILM FAST AND INEXPENSIVE. GREAT CAMERA FOR TRICK PHOTOGRAPHY AND EXCELLENT NEGATIVES TO HAVE YOUR PHOTO BLOWN UP TO 16 X 20. LOVE IT!
I am 71 years old and I grew up in another era. I cut my teeth on a Canon SLR using real film and nothing automatic. I was also a starving college student and could not afford the $300.00 to $400.00 accessory lenses and other expensive photography equipment. I also had no time to pursue my favorite hobby. Now I am retired and all of the new cameras are digital. Now I have extra time and can afford anything I want in film camera equipment. Now I am having a whale of of good time searching eBay and shooting great photos. Thanks eBay, you have made my golden years truly golden.
This camera was delivered in excellent condition and it functions flawlessly. I have owned three of these and they suit my photographic needs perfectly...grand kids, dogs, family get togethers. The 50mm f/1.4 gives excellent image quality and allows me to play with the depth of field. I prefer it to my Canon EOS, and I love the look of film.

This is a vintage film camera. This camera looks very nice with the metallic finish. You can get an A1 ot F1 too, but they come in black and are more expensive. This is a vintage film camera.
