Canon AE-1 + FD 50mm f/1.8

The camera that made the 70s go automatic. Set the shutter speed and the AE-1 picks the aperture. With the sharp, lightweight 50mm f/1.8 attached, it’s the classic first film kit and it still earns that title.

    • Shutter speeds from 2s to 1/1000s, plus Bulb
    • Split-image focusing screen
    • Takes a 4LR44 / PX28 battery, and won’t fire without one
    • FD 50mm f/1.8

In good condition for age, few minor marks.

Lens system: Canon FL/FD

50mm f/1.8

Skill Level: Intermediate

  • Comfortable with basic settings
  • Understanding aperture/shutter relationship

Warranty: 2 Months from purchase

All second-hand film cameras sold at Camera House NZ come with a 2 month warranty when they've been film tested by us.

Our 2 month warranty covers mechanical and electronic failures that occur during normal use. If something goes wrong with your camera during this period, bring it back and we'll sort it out.

This warranty reflects our confidence in the cameras we sell and our commitment to getting you out shooting with reliable equipment. We've been in the photography business since 1953, and we stand behind the gear we sell.

Guarantee: Film Tested

We put a roll of film through each camera to verify that the shutter, film advance, and light meter (where fitted) are working correctly. This real-world testing ensures you're getting a camera that's ready to shoot, not just one that looks good on the shelf.
