(Pre-Owned) Canon A1 Body with Lenses, Teleconverter plus Accessories
The Canon A-1 is a classic SLR camera produced from 1978 to 1985 with shutter speeds ranging from 30 seconds to 1/1000th of a second. Housing some brilliant lenses, being decently affordable and pretty reliable, the Canon A-1 is a really good SLR camera.
It’s a sound option for street photography, especially with its all-black design and aperture priority/auto exposure (the only thing probably letting it down is the sound of the shutter). Beyond this, it’s definitely a good option for beginners that want to get into learning how to use a film camera. It’d be good for portraits and maybe editorial (although I’d suggest a better quality camera), it’d be fine for landscapes (and the option of low shutter speeds would potentially give you some great shots).
