Ah, I miss my Canon nF-1.
The FD 50mm f1.4 was my favorite lens (that I used to have).

The Canon A-1 was a great camera.
I still remember the sound of the A series cloth shutter ... it had a coughing noise.

Was a great camera? I've got 2 A1's in pretty much mint condition. The quality of photo's have not decreased over the years. Plus, I see "quite a few" (realatively speaking, in a digitial world) still shooting A1's and AE-1's.

I'm just hoping I don't do something totally stupid, and trash one. They cost about the same price to repair as they are worth.
