@Gargron @sandofsky A lovely camera. I shot thousands of rolls of Tri-X on an AE-1 and, before that, FX. Paid for my first car and college tuition by covering high school 🏀.

I still have one in the closet but haven't shot film in years.

@Gargron Can't wait to see the pics you take with it!

@Gargron @sandofsky I have that exact camera, my parents bought it on their honeymoon, which I attended, in utero 😂

@Gargron Canon AE-1 is one of my film camera favorites. Cheap, great function and design, reliable. Very nice analog softness using the standard lenses. Highly recommend the longer prime lenses too for portraits, in addition to the 50mm. I think I had the 85mm.

@Gargron @sandofsky My first "real" camera ... way back in October of 1979! Kind of sad I sold it years ago, tbh.

@Gargron @sandofsky THE all-time classic!

@Gargron @sandofsky I've always loved this classic design!

@Gargron @sandofsky ohhhh very pretty!

@Gargron @sandofsky it's a good'un.

@Gargron @sandofsky Great! My first camera was an AE-1 🤩

@Gargron @sandofsky Nice one! Personally, as a long time nikonian, I'd go for #Nikon F2, though. Or F4.

@Gargron @sandofsky We’re almost twins!

@Gargron
This AE 1 is a very good camera, I love to take pictures with it! Have fun!
@sandofsky

@Gargron I purchased one of those in college. It served me very well. Enjoy!

@Gargron @sandofsky I’ll have a new camera to try soon also, when the iPhone 15 arrives 🙂

@Gargron

It's mine! Bought it when I was fifteen - and still have it 😃

@sandofsky

@Gargron @sandofsky My first camera. Mid 80th.
I have to check if it still works

@Gargron how many megapixels?

@Gargron, hope yours is fully functional🤞🏼Both of my cameras stutter at faster shutter speeds, sadly. Take lovely photos otherwise.

P.S. If you find a good service that can revive them here in Germany, kindly share.

@Gargron @sandofsky understandable, Eugen. 🙂 #analoguelove

@Gargron @sandofsky

Oh it even uses the new 35mm film!

@Gargron I had one of those! Never got proficient at taking photos with it, but I did like the camera very much. ☺️

@Gargron @sandofsky Nice camera. I had an AV-1. Got some great pics with it.

@Gargron looks like my old olympus om 10. 10X times better then a digital :)

@Gargron @sandofsky Beware Canon Cough.

@Gargron @sandofsky Doesn't look that new... What lenses does it take?

@Gargron @sandofsky old school film cams are so cool🫡

@Gargron @sandofsky That is also my daily 35mm shooter. Welcome to the AE-1P club.

@Gargron @sandofsky great camera! I still use my AE-1.

@Gargron

Don't forget to show it off to us here 😆

@Gargron @sandofsky For u I did not decide yet.

@Gargron the nifty fifty f1.8 🤘

@Gargron @sandofsky

👆 But, but, my mobile has a camera in it now; why'd I need another doohickey to carry? Plus my mobile weighs the same as one SLR *lens* and I don't have an elephant or donkeys...

@Gargron @sandofsky this will be your last camera :)
