Canon AT-1 with 50mm f/1.8 Lens

Released in 1976, the Canon AT-1 is a classic 35mm SLR gives you complete control over the shutter speed, aperture, and focus. Nothing changes the exposure behind your back. Every decision is yours, making the AT-1 a wonderful camera for learning why photographs look the way they do, not simply how to press the shutter button.

Part of the illustrious A-1 family, the Canon AT-1 is like the cool cousin of the popular Canon AE-1 (let's call them sisters...sibling rivalry, anyone?). While they share the same classic design and a host of features, the AT-1 stands out as the rebel of the family, boasting a more manual control. Making it one of the best cameras if you want to actually learn photography.
