Canon A-1 35mm SLR Film Camera Body + Canon 50mm f/1.8 FD Lens

The Canon A-1 is a landmark camera in the history of 35mm SLRs, introducing the world to full Program AE exposure in a professional-grade body. Released in 1978, the A-1 sits at the top of Canon’s manual-focus FD lineup, offering shutter-priority, aperture-priority, full manual, and full program auto exposure—all selectable via its now-iconic mode dial. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned shooter, the A-1 offers one of the most versatile and satisfying shooting experiences in the FD ecosystem.

Paired here with the Canon 50mm f/1.8 FD lens, this kit delivers classic image quality with sharp resolution, pleasing contrast, and creamy bokeh at wide apertures. This lens is a perfect match for the A-1’s all-around capabilities—fast enough for low light, yet compact and lightweight for travel or everyday carry. The FD mount is also popular among mirrorless digital shooters, and both the A-1 and this lens adapt beautifully to modern workflows.
