This lovely camera has been with me for 25 years. I purchased it as the second owner and used it during my college photography courses then off and on throughout the years. But, most of the time, it sat in its case, without a battery, in a climate controlled area always dutifully ready for a fresh roll of film. This camera is a workhorse, built for decades of use so long as it is cared for and treated well. I treat all of my delicate equipment with the utmost care. It shows here as this camera is just about flawless as it can be from every angle.
What you’ll receive is a camera with a spot on meter, clean viewfinder, clean battery and film compartments, nice light seals, lovely shutter fabric and a lens that is scratch, fungus and haze free. It focuses smoothly across the range and a diaphragm that is clean and fast.
Are you wondering if this camera has the infamous Canon A-series shutter squeak? It does not. I’ve taken care of that so you get a camera that sounds like a camera, not a metal spring bed you just sat down on.
This is a perfect starter kit for someone just getting into film photography or a sublime addition for someone who has always wanted a beautiful, AE-1 to add to their collection.
