with 50mm F1.8 Lens

Say farewell to your fancy schmancy DSLR and hop on the nostalgia train with the Canon A-1 35mm film camera! If you've been dancing with pixels but are ready to tango with film, this modern-for-its-time beauty is your passport to a whole new realm of creative control.

Why bother with the complicated when the Canon A-1 makes it oh-so-easy? Freeze or blur motion with shutter-priority, play with aperture-priority, and unleash your inner artist with the kind of ease that other vintage cameras envy. It's not just a camera; it's a time-traveling artist's dream.

We lovingly restore, test, and clean all of our camera models to ensure that despite its age, your vintage Canon A-1 works as well as it would have if purchased it back in 1979. This means that you’ll be able to capture your soulmate’s smile, your puppy dog’s eyes, or the sunset of your last day at college – straight out of the box. 

So, why settle for the ordinary when you can embrace the extraordinary with the Canon A-1? It's not just a camera; it's a time machine, a creative playground, and the coolest one-handed adventure you'll ever embark on. Say goodbye to pixels, hello to film magic, and let the Canon A-1 be your accomplice in this fun-filled journey through vintage photography. Get ready to click, one-handed style!

When it comes to the Canon A-1 35mm film camera, you can’t go wrong. It’s easy to learn the fundamentals of shooting film with this camera. All you have to do is put it on a strap and walk out the door! (PS we sell straps too!)

🛠️ How We Grade Our Cameras

No two cameras are identical, every camera is unique, has its own story and is truly a piece of history. We do our best to group them into three cosmetic categories so you can choose the one that's best for you.

VERY GOOD:

A "very good" body will have minimal signs of wear and tear. Examples include slight impurities like  worn leather or metal, signs of age on the bottom plate, and dull marks. 

GOOD:

A “good” body will also look nice but have some additional potential cosmetic wear such as spots with discoloration,  worn down metal or small scratches somewhere on the body.

AVERAGE:

An “average” body will be a more severe case of cosmetic wear like more extreme discoloration or worn down metal, exterior or interior black
specs, deeper scratches, or lines in the eye prism.

Fantastic Cannon A1

Picked up a Cannon A1 and it has been great! Camera came with a battery and was ready to shoot out of the box. Cute Camera Co even reached out and offered pickup since they noticed I was in the area, above and beyond customer service! Would absolutely order another camera from here.

Amazing Canon A-1 camera and service

The Canon A-1 is an amazing camera, especially because I got it from Cute Camera Co in excellent condition. I’ll tell you this, they do not lie! With very minimal imperfections this camera was working perfectly, the lens focus’ well and all buttons click and press well. However they did not provide the PX28 battery although it was no biggie because I just bought one on my own but they are not easy to come by just keep that in mind. So I recommend this and Cute Camera Co do an amazing job.

I love my Canon A-1!

The camera I received is in great condition + arrived promptly. The only thing I wish is that I got a battery with my camera as I had to go out searching for the right one! Overall I love it, I’m so happy with the first roll I got back after using it, too <3
