The Canon A-1 was the flagship of Canons A-series lineup and one of the first 35mm SLRs to offer full Program AE shooting in addition to aperture-priority, shutter-priority, and full manual exposure modes. This made it an incredibly versatile camera for its era and still a joy to use today. The A-1 balances professional-level control with approachable automation, making it a great fit for both experienced photographers and those just diving into the world of film.

Included here is the Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 SC lens, a lightweight, sharp, and reliable standard prime that delivers classic rendering with excellent contrast. Its fast aperture makes it perfect for portraits, low-light shooting, and everyday photography.
