Canon AE-1 SLR

It may be old, but I like it. Any tips? Anyone?

Tips for what specifically ?

There was several posts of pictures, from a Polish photographer here, last couple of days. I think they are using an AE-1. I just tried to find the links to the threads but they have slipped-off the New Posts queue..and i don't recall the User name. I haven't used one but it's a familiar model name. Is it Auto and Aperture-priority camera?

cheers,

The AE-1 is a fun camera if you like shooting in shutter priority or manual. I prefer aperture priority so my A-1 gets used a bit more. The best tip I have for this old camera is to be sure to read the owners manual if you haven't already.
Here's a link to it. : Canon AE-1 instruction manual, user manual, PDF manual, free manuals
Enjoy.

Have been using an AE-1 since 1979. Still works and perform everything the same since new (I am the original owner) Had it serviced a couple of years ago, the foam/seal gets worn out every few years (back cover).
