Description

The Canon AE-1 is a manual focus 35mm SLR camera produced between 1976 to 1984 and is compatible with Canon's FD-mount lenses.

The AE-1 is a historically significant SLR, but not because of any major technological firsts, although it was the first microprocessor central processing unit equipped SLR. The AE-1 was designed from the ground up with five major units and twenty-five minor units. They were centrally controlled by a microcomputer. By incorporating electronics, the parts count could be reduced by around 300 and with the manufacturing of the camera also highly automated made it possible to produce a low-cost camera having high-end features. This made an SLR camera affordable to a larger group of people and is often reffered to as an amature level SLR, despite having many professional level features of the time. Backed by a major advertising campaign, the AE-1 sold five million units.

The Black camera I have photographed in my gallery is even older, lol.

Yeah I realized I had forgotten to resize them after uploading them and I just have not had the oppertunity to do do it and edit them in.

If you go into yout profile you can set the auto resize to fit your screen, it'll take effect after the cookie is set and then it can be viewed with out scrolling.
