Arguably the most famous and successful analoge camera ever made, the Canon AE-1 has everything one need in a film SLR. It boasts an internal light meter is fully manual and takes amazing images with its wide array of lenses. Because the camera was so popular in the 70’s and 80’s many lenses have been made and are still easily found. Therefore trying a different look for your images is just an internet search away. This camera is for every type of photographer. For the beginner it is great to learn al the basics of film photography and for the more advanced photographer it has all the specs to make professional looking images. Because of the build quality and great controllability the camera is also great for experimental shooting as well. The internet is full of simple non invasive ‘hacks’ to enable the camera to make double exposures.
The fast 50mm lens makes for a great street shooter but is also well suited for portraiture and landscape shots. A great all round build that can be used for almost anything.
