What was your First Canon Camera?

[krbimaging]

Just for fun, because I remember this so vividly. Really strange that I do remember it so well.

1. What was your first Canon Brand camera?
2. When did you buy it. (Approx Year)
3. New or Used

For me, it was an AE-1 Program (all black) with a 50mm F1.4 lens. I bought it in 1982. Brand new from a Wolf Camera store at Yorktown Mall in Lombard Il.

Mine was a Canon TLb. I bought it in 1977 for $50.00. It came with two crappy lenses which I actually used for years...

Canon F1 with bulk film back, low light prism finder, motor drive and three lenses.

Traded for it, in 1977,from my brother--he got the system at the PX when he was in the Army, stantioned in Germany.

Still have most of the system.

My move from Minolta to Canon was in 1976, when the camera store owner put me into a then-new model AE-1. Unfortunately, over the next 2 months and perhaps 20 rolls of film, it went back to the repair center 3 times. When I came in for #4, the store owner offered full value trade to the AE-1 predecessor, the EF. I bought a 2nd EF about a year later and used them both until I moved up to digital...a G3.
