Canon AE1 program – Rental

Main specs of the Canon AE-1:

The Canon AE-1 is a manual focus SLR camera that shoots 35mm film. The AE-1 has a built in light meter and offers (semi) automatic* exposure modes, making it great for starters or less experienced film shooters. The AE-1 uses the legendary Canon FD lensmount which offers a huge selection of great and yet very affordable lens options. The shutter speeds range from 1/1000 to 2s. The light meter readout is shown inside the viewfinder, making it quick and easy to work with. The camera won’t fire without batteries, it needs a 4LR44 battery to operate.

Canon AE-1 variants:

The standard version of the AE-1 offers 2 exposure modes: shutter speed priority and full manual exposure mode. The later Program* version also offers a fully automated exposure mode, which also can set the correct aperture for you. Most AE-1 models will be in a black/chrome finish, but there is some fully black ones as well. Both versions look beautiful and really are a good example of what a vintage film camera should look like.
