Oh man! I had that same setup many years ago. What an awesome camera the AE1 Program is!! Still a solid performer 40 years after it was introduced.

PS: I have not been able to find the Minolta flash I promised you. Have no idea what happened to it. Sorry.

That's an excellent camera! Does it use that quaint medium we know as film or is it digital? I have an array of old cameras, a couple from the 30's, a Pentax Spotmatic, my first SLR and an array of other devices. Now I tend to use my phone to take pictures more than anything else. It's better than any of the cameras I own.

My brother had one just like it. It was the first real camera he bought. He loved Canons.
He has some Hasselblads{spelling,damn}. But that AE1 is the most cherished thing he got.

I used a T-1 in high school for yearbook pictures and envied the upperclassmen who were assigned the AE-1 in the school’s inventory. :) I have an F-1 around here somewhere.

[mamelukesabre]

Wait a sec...

That’s one a them old fashioned FILM cameras! I threw mine out cuz they told me no one makes film anymore. What am I missing?

[Cyber Liberty]

Wow! Can you get the 100 exposure backlid? My photo club had one, and that extended roll was great on Prom night....

My wife is an avid Photographer. I have bought her three state of the art cameras, one top of the line Pentax DSLR, a Canon point-and-shoot and a Nikon DSLR with auto zoom.

Despite the heavy artillery, she still takes the old Pentax SLR film camera on vacation, and invariably shoots 8 - 10 rolls in a week to ten days. (That’s in addition to all the shots with the new stuff.)

She gets some really great shots with the old film camera.

[I Drive Too Fast]

I have two old SLR's and BOTH still work fine. One is a Minolta XD-11 (does double exposures has shutter and aperature priority modes) and the other is the XG-7 (aperature priority only) from the same company. I bought them in 1978 and 1980. I have 2 lenses. 50 mm F1.4 and 100 - 500 mm zoom F8. Have at least 30 filters. I used the one last summer on my vacation.

My new toy is the Nikon D7000 with the 18 - 200mm VR II F 3.5 lens plus a 35mm f1.8 lens for low light. One of the fastest focusing cameras on the market.

Men and their toys. Can I vent?

My husband had to built a 4 car shop behind our 2 1/2 detached garage (because 2 1/2 car space is not enough) for the hot rods he builds from scratch. He also hunts; which means bows, a safe the size of my car-not really, but huge and heads of dead animals. (which I made him move to his shop) . Of course there is always a new and better guns he has to have. He fishes so he has a boat, rods & reels and all the fixings. He is on USA hockey board as VP for the Midwest so he has books of rules, rosters, registration, books, trophies, ???.....plus hockey equipment. He has 4 computers for work, hockey, play....

I barely have room for my shoes. Ok, I feel better.

Where does the SD card go?

I hear those old contraptions used something called “flim” whatever that is.
