    Here's the camera I've been playing with lately. The Canon A1. With its debut in 1978, Mine has a date code of 1984. but even though more than thirty years have passed since mine was produced, the Canon A-1 camera still remains as the ultimate reference camera for many. Its unique styling, original concept, durability and reliability have been proven over these years and passed the enduring time test and emerged as a true classic. The rapid development, usage and the popularity of IC circuits for automations in camera design have very much to thank for with this electronic marvel from Canon Inc. Japan.
    This particular year (1984) Canon was the Official Camera for the Olympic Games. I have the original bag and lenses covers for these. As I have pictured here, are a few of my lenses for this beast...left to right
    35-105mm f 1:3.5-5.6
    500mm mirror reflux f 1:8
    on the camera 50mm f 1:1.8
    28mm f 1:2.8
    50mm SCC f 1:1.4
    and
    55mm f 2.8 macro

    Thanks for looking and I will continue with my experimenting with film, Currently shooting ISO 200 film and slowly getting the hang of it.
    Thank goodness for a Digital Camera.... these pics were shot with Canon 5D mark III

      GREAT camera and lenses, Kerry. My Dad was a Canon man. Me ~ NIKON. But, like you say, "Thank goodness for Digital"!!!
    2. Caperkid, 8 years ago
      Is it very heavy with the big lenses Kerry. There are no places around here that will even develope film. The only thing holding me back from buying a set like this. Always wanted a powerful lense, the Golden and Bald Eagles around here would be my prey. ( for the camera). Great score.

      @Caperkid, not real heavy, compatible to newer Cameras, maybe a touch more, but not bad

      Nice! It's been so long since I had mine out I can't say for sure but I think that is what mine is, A-1,lol
      I thought you could still take film to Walgreens. No???
    19. kerry10456 kerry10456, 8 years ago
      Thanks AzTom, I'm not sure about Walgreens, but sure they still do. Walmart does still here.....personally I have a daughter in college taking a Photography class and I send rolls of film to school and have processed then download to digital....works out good for me & her..... lol
