I had mentioned it a few weeks back that I was seriously thinking of getting a film camera and after a few initial thoughts, I finally got myself a Canon AE1 Program along with a Canon f1.4 FD Lens...
No longer in production ( for obvious reasons) the Canon AE1-Program was introduced in 1981 and has been one of the more successful cameras Canon has in its kitty !
I have bought it to click some B/W film and do more street photography... Call me strange or crazy or whatever, I am pretty happy that I got it !
enjoy ...enjoy...enjoy.....look forward to seeing the prints.. :))

ReplyDeleteHope to see some more fab work from your latest purchase. I still have and use my old film cameras, only film of choice and good printers are very hard to get by now.

We'll be awaiting AE1's work!
