The Canon AE-1 is an iconic 35mm SLR that revolutionized amateur photography when it launched in the late 1970s. With its solid build and classic design, it was the first SLR to feature a built-in microprocessor, enabling shutter-priority auto exposure—ideal for beginners—while still offering full manual control for experienced users.
Paired with the Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 lens, the AE-1 becomes a compact and bright system perfect for sharp images and beautiful background blur. The 50mm focal length closely matches the human eye’s perspective, making it excellent for portraits, street scenes, and everyday moments. Its f/1.8 aperture allows for low-light shooting and creative depth-of-field control.
The Canon AE-1 + 50mm f/1.8 combo remains a favorite among film photography enthusiasts. Reliable, intuitive, and expressive, it provides a hands-on creative experience and delivers images full of character, warmth, and vintage charm.
