Description Canon AE-1 manual focus 35mm film SLR camera paired with the sharp and compact Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 lens.

Ideal for film enthusiasts, collectors, and creatives seeking authentic analogue photography. Compatible with all Canon FD lenses.
Condition Very good cosmetic and mechanical condition. Camera fully tested — light meter working, shutter speeds responsive, and film advance smooth. Lens optics are clean with no haze, fungus, or scratches. Aperture blades are snappy and oil-free. Viewfinder is bright and clear, just some minor dust. Note there is a chip off the corner of the battery cover, not obvious in the photo.
