Canon AE-1 Program 35mm Film Camera with Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 Wide Angle Lens – Excellent Condition
The legendary Canon AE-1 Program is one of the most popular and iconic 35mm film cameras ever produced. The "AE-1 PROGRAM" marking is printed on the front left side of the camera body, identifying this highly desirable model.
This camera is fitted with the excellent Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens, a compact and versatile lens known for its sharp image quality, beautiful rendering, and suitability for everyday photography, street photography, travel, landscapes, and indoor shooting.
The camera is in excellent condition, exactly as shown in the photos. Please note that all photos were taken using a professional digital camera with a macro lens, allowing very close-up inspection of details and small imperfections that are normally impossible to see with the naked eye. As you can see, the external appearance is beautiful and the camera has been very well maintained.
The viewfinder is bright and clean, providing a clear viewing experience. The Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 lens is in excellent condition, with clean optics and smooth focusing operation.
A common issue with many Canon AE-1 Program cameras is the battery compartment door, which can often be damaged or broken. On this camera, the battery door is in excellent condition, opens and closes normally, and has no broken parts.
The light seals and mirror foam have been inspected and tested and were found to be in excellent condition. They do not require replacement, allowing the camera to be used immediately.
The camera has also been fully tested, including a professional shutter speed accuracy test. The complete test report is included in the last page of the photos.
The shutter speeds were checked across the full range, and the camera performs extremely well. All speeds up to and including 1/500 second were measured accurately and are consistent with their nominal values.
At the highest speed of 1/1000 second, the measured reading was approximately 1/1050 second. This very small difference represents only a minimal variation from the nominal value and is most likely related to the technical limitations involved in accurately measuring extremely short exposure times. At speeds as fast as 1/1000 second, even very small measurement variations can affect the final reading.
This result does not indicate a problem with the camera. The shutter is operating correctly, and the accurate performance across all other shutter speeds confirms that the mechanism is functioning properly. The small variation at the highest speed will not have any noticeable effect on normal film photography.
The camera has also been tested with a professional light meter to confirm that the exposure readings are accurate and reliable.
Overall, this is a beautiful example of the Canon AE-1 Program, with excellent cosmetic condition, clean optics, accurate shutter operation, reliable light metering, and the highly desirable Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens. A perfect choice for collectors, film photography enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a classic Canon film camera ready to enjoy.
