Your legendary analog classic – tested with test film and in very good condition
The used Canon A-1 is one of the most iconic SLR cameras of the 1970s/80s – in condition B (normal signs of wear, but very good condition) and complete with strap and original ever-ready case. We have tested it with test film – shutter, exposure metering, and all functions work perfectly. With its advanced system (program auto, shutter-priority and aperture-priority auto, as well as manual control) and the bright LED viewfinder, the A-1 was a true high-end camera at the time and remains a sought-after collector's item and practical tool. Ideal for analog street, landscape, or reportage photography in the Engadine region. At Optik Foto Rutz, we test every analog camera with real film – and we offer a 30-day warranty on all used cameras against defects that impair functionality, in accordance with our terms and conditions!
