Canon A1 /w 28mm f2.8 FDn & Canon BW-52B lens hood [35mm kit]
This top-of-the-line 35mm SLR was released by Canon in 1978. Not only does it have both shutter and aperture priority AE modes, it also features a fully automatic Program mode. While this makes it similar to it's nephew like the Canon AE-1 and AE-1 Program, it definitely offers quite a bit more functionality.
Coupled with a great metering system, LED read-out in the viewfinder and a wide range of beautiful FD lenses it's one of the most versatile cameras of it's time. A great user for those starting out as well as experienced shooters who want to take advantage of all its different functions.

Camera comes in great cosmetic condition. Speeds and lightmeter are accurate and working great. Winding of the camera is a bit rough, hence the slightly reduced price for this kit. Comes with a nice Canon FD 28mm f2.8 lens with lens cap and originel BW-52B lens hood by Canon.
