Does this look normal ?

Hello I am looking to buy a Ae 1 Canon and this is the seller’s photo of the mirror, how does it look to you guys ? I am having doubts because there seems to be a hole ? And black spots ?

Is an AE1 right for me?

I want to get a 35mm film camera as a general purpose camera. Family vacations, trips, birthdays, stuff like that. Would an AE1 suit that purpose?

Something from my first time using CinaStill 800T.

I thought it made a cool scene. It's how you get from the liquor store to the bar to sneak shit in...

Canon AE1 3rd Roll w/Fuji 200

I think I’m getting the hang of shooting completely manual and enjoying the process. Looking forward to my next roll to see if I can consistently get sharp vibrant photos. Let me know your opinion and tips!

Flash for Canon AE1

Hi pls recommend flash for shooting nighttime and studio portraits. Should I go with modern flash or go with a speedlite. What factors should I consider while making this decision. Thanks

Need help!!

Good afternoon! I have a Canon AE 1 that will get half way through a roll and then just stop working. I've replaced the battery, checked everything and it still won't trigger the shutter. Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you fix it?

Am I expecting too much from a CLA?

SOLVED: Tech contacted me, looks like Crud bounced around during shipping and settled on the prism. Removed focus screen and blew it off of the prism with compressed air, almost all of it is gone now

Just got my AE-1P back from CLA and everything else is great, but it doesn’t look like the VF was cleaned on the prism. I had my other AE-1P serviced by the same guy and it came back immaculate. Am I expecting too much if I ask them to fix this?
