This Canon equipment belongs to a relative and hasn't been used in years. I ran a roll through the cameras and they seemed to work OK. I've tried to point out any problems I've found in the description.
Black Canon A-1. Camera is in good condition with minor paint scratches and no dents. I ran a roll of film through the camera and everything functioned OK. Worked properly with Canon Speedlite 199A flash. Comes with Canon FD 50mm f1.8 lens. The negatives from this lens looked ok but looking through it at the right angle with strong light I can see some threads of what I think are fungus near part of the edge. Comes with lens cap, strap and instruction book.
Canon AV-1. Chrome body. I can see that this camera has some of the back foam seals damaged. Else camera is in good condition with minor scratches and no dents. I ran a roll of film through the camera and everything functioned OK. I didn't see any light leaks on the negatives. Comes with a body cap, instruction book and new battery that's worth 1/2 what the camera is.
Canon Speedlite 199A with diffuser and case. This had leaking batteries installed. I cleaned it up as best I could (see picture of battery holder) and got it working. Seems to function OK and links Ok to A-1. But after sitting for a few weeks it didn't work until played with the batteries cleaning and reinstalling them. The terminals in the slide in plastic battery case need some surface repair. I just stuck a piece of aluminum foil in to get better contact.
Canon FD 28mm f3.5 Lens. Chrome ring. Negatives from this lens look good. In strong light I can see a few minor coating marks near the front edge and a faint line that seems to rotate with the lens. I can't see anything that might be causing that line so not sure what it is. Comes with both caps. Has a hard case but the case foam is bad.
Vivitar 70-210mm f4.5 Macro focusing zoom. Mechanically and optically in good condition. Negatives look good. Comes with soft case.
Comes with camera case that has one side pocket zipper with broken pull tab, Promaster 52mm polarizer, extra body and lens rear caps and some Canon lens brochures.
Asking $75 plus shipping for this lot. USA only. Shipping via USPS at around 10lbs.
