Canon AE-1 Program
Canon AE-1 Program
S/N: 1372722
Although the AE-1 Program looks extremely similar to its predecessor, the AE-1, it has one main difference: a Program mode. This sets both shutter speed and aperture automatically, just like the A-1 does. Other upgrades include a LED readout in the viewfinder, easily interchangeable focusing screens and a hand grip protecting the battery cover.
If you don't need all the features the A-1 offers but still want some auto exposure capabilities, this might be the camera for you.

This example is in extremely good condition both cosmetically and mechanically. The mirror box was pulled out of the camera and serviced to avoid any issues in the future. Both shutter speeds as well as the metering system are fully within factory spec, making this a close to new camera and definitely ready for some action. New light seals were installed.
