Canon ae 1 35mm film camera1/6/2024 The idea of exposure control and handling my own film seemed like a brave and exciting new world Up until that point I'd only really paid attention to composition, but suddenly the idea of exposure control and handling my own film seemed like a brave and exciting new world. With the school year coming to a close I was eager to learn more about photography. By the time May rolled around, we were printing at least 50+ copies an issue (eventually closer to 150+). What started out as mostly a joke blossomed into a full-blown amateur journalistic/photographic obsession. I shot this in 2004 for a cover of Dan's Zine, a monthly publication I published with some friends. Skateboarding was my earliest photographic obsession. We printed them on the B&W Xerox machines at my father's office and distributed the copies by hand in school and at a local deli. I was the chief photographer/editor and took my role quite seriously (for a teenager, at least). The September (2003) prior I'd launched a monthly zine with some of my friends, packed to the brim with skateboarding and rock & roll photographs, along with silly articles and band/artist interviews (creatively named, Dan's Zine). I'd been an avid film shooter for about four or five years prior, but hadn't owned a fully-manual camera (coincidentally the AE-1 Program is one of the first mass-market SLRs with auto controls). I first picked mine up along with a "nifty fifty" for $200 at the end of my second year of high school (May, 2004). Over the years it's a camera that I've come back to again and again as a means to hit reset, and recontextualize my love for photography. Not that there's anything particularly extraordinary about this classic film SLR, aside from its affordability, availability and reliability – ok, I guess that makes it a little special. They ranged from a Fisheye FD 15 mm f/2.8 SSC to a FD 800 mm f/5.6 SSC, plus special purpose lenses like a 7.5mm circular fisheye, and a 35mm Tilt & Shift lens.The Canon AE-1 (Program) is by far the camera that has had the most impact on my life. During the late 1970s, there were over 50 Canon FD lenses available for purchase. The inner lens barrel remained stationary, and thus the signal levers and pins still did not rotate. In 1979, Canon introduced the New FD series of lenses that rotate the whole outer lens barrel to lock. The counter argument, though, was that as the lens/body mating surfaces did not rotate, there was no wear that could affect the critical distance from lens to film plane. This was often criticized as being slower than the bayonet mounts of competing cameras. Original FD lenses, introduced in 1971, did not rotate in the mounting process instead, a locking ring at the base was turned to attach the lens. It is not compatible with Canon's later Canon EF lens mount, though adapters made by independent manufacturers can be found. The AE-1 has a Canon FD breech-lock lens mount and accepts any FD or New FD (FDn) lens. Backed by a major advertising campaign, the AE-1 sold over one million units, which made it an unprecedented success in the SLR market. The AE-1 is a historically significant SLR, both because it was the first microprocessor-equipped SLR and because of its sales. Most are black with chrome trim, but some are all black. The camera body is 87 mm tall, 14mm wide, and 48 mm deep it weighs 590 g. It uses an electronically controlled, electromagnet horizontal cloth focal plane shutter, with a speed range of 2 to 1/1000 second plus Bulb and flash X-sync of 1/60th second. (today Canon Incorporated) in Japan from April 1976 to 1984. The Canon AE-1 is a 35 mm single-lens reflex (SLR) film camera for use with interchangeable lenses.
