I have a sweet old Canon AE1 with a 400mm lens (among others, of course) I have had for many years. I’ve taken some prize-winning photos with it, but have often wished since the digital revolution that it was digitized. My son is a pro in Denver, and he has the Canon EOS. A very impressive unit.

I have a Bell & Howell Auto 35, which as I understand was the prototype of the Canon AE1. (I don't know if that was true or not.) I got it in 1972, and have always loved it. AFAIK, the main difference was only the front element of the lens was changeable.
