Canon AV-1 - 50mm f/1.8 Canon FD Lens - 35mm Film SLR Camera
Year Released: 1979
Fun Fact: An unmarked "Easter Egg" on this camera is the little metal button near the lens mount. When pressed, it is able to add 1.5 stops of exposure in backlit situations! Cool!
The AV-1 is very similar to the 1976 AE-1 but provides aperture priority auto-exposure rather than the AE-1's shutter speed priority AE. The camera is not capable of fully manual exposure. Canon's international distributors, particularly in the United States, had clamored for such a camera because competing brands offered mostly aperture-priority cameras and some preferred it. The AV in the name referred to the type of auto-exposure; Av (Aperture Value) is a common abbreviation for aperture priority.
Shooting the Canon AV-1 is effortless and fluid. Simply frame your shot, manually focus with those smooth, beautiful Canon FD lenses, select the desired lens aperture for your desired depth of field, and fire. It feels great in the hands, with beautiful proportions, a classic style, and nice heftiness. We can even hack exposure compensation by easily rotating the ISO dial from shot to shot, and the backlight compensation switch works great.
Camera is in good condition, body is in good shape showing only some signs of use and wear. This model comes with a fun neck strap, too! All cameras have been tested for functionality and come with a 30 day warranty.
