Canon AE-1

So, finally got a new film SLR camera - It's a Canon AE-1 in very good condition. 50mm lens, 24mm wide-angle (I love this lens, it's awesome) 90-230mm zoom lens, macro lens... and 2x and 3x teleconvertors. All of the lenses have skylight filters on them, to keep dust off mainly. Also came with a flash and an autowinder, neither of which I plan to use often.

Total price was $80..

:D

Awesome, my Dad has one of those...had it since new. Has quite a few lenses for it too. Good camera, apart from the fact that it has no flash, and the cost of film.

I buy film online - it runs about 2.50 for a 36 exposure roll, and I develop myself. I don't really think that that's expensive, though I can certainly understand what you mean if you buy from a store.

That bundle included a flash, too. Not that I plan on using it, but it might be handy at some point.

Been playing with the macro and wide-angle lenses - the macro lens is beautiful, you can almost take pictures of things literally touching the lens.
