Canon A1 35mm Film Camera with 50mm F1.8 Lens

Having a good time with your fancy schmancy DSLR camera, but ready to try your skills with film? The Canon A1 35mm film camera is an easy transition for photographers who have only ever held a DSLR. This modern (for its times) camera gives you all kinds of creative control. 

From freezing or blurring motion with shutter-priority to having the option of aperture-priority, this camera allows you to take your most artistic shots with more ease than other vintage cameras. 

Vintage meets modern with the Canon A1 35mm camera. It is the originator of the A1 fam and first launched in 1978. This camera was originally designed for photography enthusiasts who were ready to take their shooting to the next level. It was the first camera to include a microprocessor that offered electronically-controlled programmed auto-exposure. Instead of relying on the photographer’s input for a perfectly exposed image, this camera chooses a shutter speed and aperture setting for you. 

The coolest thing about this camera is that you can actually shoot one-handed. The Canon A-1 top plate may look overwhelming to a beginner, but once you master the dials, you are in full control… with only one hand. Go from shooting in aperture mode to shutter mode to Program mode (and adjust the setting for each of these) all with one finger! 

When it comes to the Canon A1 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!)

By the way, protect your camera for 1-2 years with our protection plan. We cover all boo boos at no cost to you.

Features + Benefits:

  • Sleek and sexy all-black body camera style
  • Explore your different shooting styles with access to aperture-priority, shutter priority, program, and full manual modes. 
  • Combine old and new with the most modern camera of its times
  • Simple, professional, classic

How We Grade Our Cameras

We restore, test, and clean all of our cameras to ensure that despite its age, your Cute Camera works as well as it would have if purchased it in 1976. 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. 

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.
