Canon AE-1 35mm SLR film camera with 50mm f1.8 lens
Description:
The Canon AE-1 is one of the best cameras to start with if you are new to film photography. It was the first camera to feature a microprocessor, which made it lighter and easier to use than most SLRs of its time, and it helped bring film photography to a whole new audience. The AE-1 gives you shutter priority mode, meaning you pick the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture for you, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of shooting. It is a great camera for everyday use, street photography, and portraits, and the 50mm f1.8 lens delivers sharp, beautiful images with a lovely background blur. If you have heard of cameras like the Pentax K1000 or the Nikon FM2, the AE-1 sits comfortably alongside them but tends to be easier to pick up for beginners thanks to its automatic mode.
