Canon AL-1

[Buckster]

Picked up a Canon AL-1 wearing a 50mm lens complete with lens cap, 166A Speedlight, 1A skylight filter, instruction booklet and bag for $30 day before yesterday. The thing's clean as a whistle.

Popped in fresh batteries and everything seems to work like new. The woman I bought it from said her mom's boyfriend gave it to her mom a long time ago, but she doesn't know anything about how to work it. Did I mention it came with an instruction booklet?

Great score! I've always liked the AL-1. Be gentle with the battery
compartment door. It's a weak point on that model and can break pretty
easily. In fact it's unusual to find an AL-1 these days that doesn't have that
part broken.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind on the battery compartment door.:thumbup:
