Asking $150. I did not test the camera with film, but every button, lever, and switch seems to operate as it should. Everything looks to be in good condition. I will include free ground shipping within the continental US. Worldwide shipping is available, message me and I'll get a few different shipping quote you can choose from. Please contact me with any questions.


Canon A-1
The A-1 was the top-of-the-line A-series camera. (The AE-1 was the first in this series.) It was a sophisticated electronic camera with all-digital control.

Besides the shutter speed-priority AE and aperture-priority AE modes, it featured the first fully automatic program AE mode, preset aperture-priority AE, and Speedlite AE mode.

The viewfinder information was also easy to read with a 7-segment red LED readout. The control settings were displayed at the same time which made it very useful.

Besides Power Winder A, developed at the same time as the AE-1, accessories for the A-1 included the compact Motor Drive MA which attained a maximum shooting speed of 5 fps. This Motor Drive had a convenient vertical-grip shutter button. Also, there was the Speedlite 199A which had bounce flash capability. The A-1’s body had a fine black finish.

Canon FD S.C. 135mm f/2.5 SC MF Telephoto Lens​

Several different models of Canon FD 135 mm lenses were produced by Canon Inc. for the Canon FD lens mount. Two were produced in the original "Old FD" style with a silver locking ring for the breech lock mount at the base, while three models were produced as "New FD" lenses where the entire lens barrel rotated to lock the lens in place.The maximum aperture of f/2.5 is advantage for handheld shooting in dim light. Flare is eliminated perfectly, moreover the secondary spectrum and other aberrations are greatly reduced.Canon Lens FD 135mm f/2.5 S.C. This lens is very compact in designed, with a short telephoto ratio of 1:0.98. Compared with the FD 135mm f/3.5 S.C., this lens speed is one stop faster.
  • 135 mm f/2.5: introduced in 1971 as one of the first lenses in the new Canon FD mount.
  • Like all of the very early Canon FD lenses, it does not indicate the type of coating on the front lens ring. All lenses from 1971
  • (indeed, from the very early 1950s forward) were coated in one form or another.[1]
  • 135 mm f/2.5 S.C.: The marking for Spectra Coating (SC) was added in 1973.

Hoya 58mm Skylight 1B (HMC) Multi-Coated Glass Filter​

Due to its light pink color, the Hoya Skylight 1B (HMC) Multi-Coated Glass Filter reduces the bluish cast of daylight to produce a pleasing, warm picture tone. Wise initial investments, Skylight filters help protect your lens from dust, moisture, and scratches that can lead to costly repairs.

The filter is multi-coated to minimize reflections on the filter surfaces, which reduces flare and ghosting.
Can be left on at all times for protection
Skylight filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet(UV) light that can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details
Used to reduce the bluish cast common with some electronic flash units.

One of my favorite lenses and quite underrated. The sliding lens hood was a nice touch. Great for portraits and landscape. Taken some of my favorite portraits with it. Haven't used the specific camera, only an F-1, AE-1 and T90. All great. Good luck with the sale.
