Canon AE-1 Program 35mm SLR film camera with 35mm f2.8 lens
Description:
If there is one camera that introduced a generation to film photography, it is probably the AE-1 Program. Released in 1981 as the follow-up to the very successful AE-1, it added a fully automatic programme mode to shutter priority and manual. In programme mode the camera sets both shutter speed and aperture for you, shutter priority lets you choose the speed, and full manual gives you complete control. All three are useful, depending on what you are shooting. The Canon FD mount works with a wide range of excellent and affordable lenses, and the 35mm f2.8 is a sharp, compact wide angle that suits street, travel and architecture.

- Type: Electronic
- Maximum Shutter Speed: 1/1000s
- Lens: Canon FD mount, 35mm f2.8
