This canon a1 camera is over 20 years old !
I believe that it was the first truly automatic camera on the market.
It came with the 50mm 1:1.4 lens. It has served me well, and as a Marine Surveyor, of ships, oil rigs etc. etc. it has travelled the world. Including the Jungles of Borneo. What I still like about this camera is the simplicity of use in any condition. This is an old camera, I am an elderley man, I am a great fan of canon, but unfortunately the next camera I purchase will be the FUJI finepix S100fs, only because Canon do not make one the same.
I really rate Canon, and will never part with with my A1.
Thanks for a great camera
