Description

The listing, Canon AE-1, 3 lens, flash & camera bag has ended.

This auction is for everything shown in the attached pictures. The beige camera bag, the colorful camera strap, the somewhat aged Canon AE-1 camera body, 3 lenses as follows..

#1 Tokina AT-X 35mm-200mm zoom

I put this one first because I learned to subtract one stop from my film ASA then quickly zoom to frame my shot then click to take the picture. Using this lens, it was not necessary to be moving around in a scene to get framing then fiddle with focus and shutterspeed.

#2 Canon 135mm telephoto

#3 Canon 50mm

Canon Speedlite 188A

These items were my photo equipment in the day. They have been in storage for a while and are available now to the winner of this auction "as is". Let me know if I missed anything.

Do you know if it works?

I tested the camera this morning and got a light meter reading. Next, I took out the battery to check that the compartment was clean and there were no signs of the battery leaking. It was clean.

I would still suggest the winning bidder replace the camera battery first thing.

Hello....Very Nice Camera. I love taking pictures of real life photos, the unexpected ones!. I have been snapping a lot of them from my phone & would love to have the real thing, such as this beautiful camera. Can I please ask if you would possibly consider a GIN?.........& if not that is okay...I will still be watching & bidding!..Super Great Auction...Carla

Hi, thsnks for your remarks. Cant add GIN once thered a bid. I am usually not inclined to use a GIN anyway.

If you get to using the zoom lens all the time like I did, recall that I said subtract 1 step from the ASA, otherwise all your photos will have wrong light exposue. The reason is the zoom optical system absorbs a wee amount of light slowing down the system. Setting an adjusted ASA solves the problem.

Using a fixed 50mm lens will cause you to have move closer to your subject or further away. Taking pics of spontaneous events doesnt give younmufhbtimevto do that. Using the zoom lens solves the need to move. The lens goes down to 35mm, sorta like a macro lens, or 200mm for reaching out there.

I have used it from an aircraft, on the ground and even with a telescope. If you dont have one, a good tripod will be next.
