Canon A-1 35mm Film Camera Body
The Canon A1 is an advanced-level single-lens reflex (SLR) 35 mm film camera for use with interchangeable lenses. It was manufactured by Canon Camera K. K. (today Canon Incorporated) in Japan from April 1978 to 1985. It employs a horizontal cloth-curtain focal-plane shutter with a speed range of 30 to 1/1000 second plus bulb and flash synchronization speed of 1/60 second. Unlike most SLRs of the time, it was available in only one color; all black.
The A1 is a historically significant camera. It was the first SLR to offer an electronically controlled programmed autoexposure mode. The A-1 accepts any lens with the Canon FD breech lock mount (introduced in 1971) or Canon New FD pseudo-bayonet mount (sometimes called the FDn mount, introduced 1979).

The camera is tested, operational and in excellent overall condition with minor signs of wear. It has two small marks in the viewfinder but this doesn't impact the viewing. All functions are working correctly and new light seals have been fitted. The lens is in superb condition, snappy, clean and has been a joy to use.
