I have an old Canon AE-1 that I absolutely love. I haven't used it in probably 10 years, and I kind of hate that it's not digital and all, but none the less, it took the best pictures I've ever taken. I am wondering if it's worth the hassle of finding someone that can still repair the old manual cameras, as a few things no longer work properly on it. It needs a new battery, and I'm sure that's why the advance lever isn't working, along with a few other things that may or may not be battery related. I just want a quick once over done and any repairs done so I can start using it again. I also know that most stores don't even sell film any longer, I assume I would have to find a specialty photography shop (or maybe buy online?) to get the film, anyone know of any in the Twin Cities area, or Duluth, MN area?
So basically I'm trying to find out if its worth getting fixed. What are film/developing prices generally? And if anyone here still uses them?
Thanks!!
