A 'standard' or 'bounce' flash is available in the 'add-ons' section but most people won't need one (unless they'd like a spare flash). \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Canon AE-1 is one of the most popular 35mm film SLRs of all time. It's an enduring classic camera with plenty of features yet so elegantly designed that it's simple to use. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AE-1 offers both shutter priority automatic exposure and metered manual exposure modes. The camera requires an LR44 (also called A544 or PX28A) 6 volt battery (optional). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included Canon 188A Speedlite is specifically designed for use with A-series Canon SLRs.

The original owner babied this camera and it shows very little sign of use. The camera and lens were were tested with film and performed perfectly, delivering sharp, correctly exposed photos. We also verified the camera has very good shutter speed an exposure accuracy. The film advance and release is very smooth (no hint of the 'squeak' noise that sometimes appears with these cameras). The included Canon 188A Speedlite is in very good condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCanon Museum entry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/global.canon\/en\/c-museum\/product\/film93.html\"\u003ehttps:\/\/global.canon\/en\/c-museum\/product\/film93.html\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManuals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.canonfd.org\/manuals\/ae-1.pdf\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.canonfd.org\/manuals\/ae-1.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cameramanuals.org\/flashes_meters\/speedlite_188a.pdf\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.cameramanuals.org\/flashes_meters\/speedlite_188a.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 35mm focal-plane shutter SLR camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicture Size: 24 x 36 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNormal Lens: Canon FD 50mm f\/1.4 SSC, FD 50mm f\/1.8 SC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens Mount: FD mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Four-axis, horizontal-travel focal-plane shutter with cloth curtains.
