Rare Black Canon AE1 35mm SLR Camera, Body Only. Excellent Starter Camera.

Gorgeous camera in fantastic condition. These are so hard to find these days as collectors keep them at all costs.
This example is in beautiful condition. With minimal age related patina.
Couple it with one of our many canon FD lenses or drop us a line if you are looking for something specific.
These are so popular and in black super rare now. They are compatible with all FD range lenses and the flash units (199a) we have in stock.
This is a great vintage camera and you will be the envy of your friends! It was introduced in 1981 as the successor to the Canon AE-1, five years after that camera’s introduction. The major difference was the addition of the Program AE mode first seen in the A-1. This mode sets both the shutter speed and aperture automatically. We just love it !
