So I was going through my inventory for a bit yesterday (because you never want to do more than a bit of inventory), and discovered my second Canon A-1. This is Canon’s first SLR camera This is the first film SLR that features electronic exposure compensation based on light meter input. I had bid on two on ebay a while ago – because I’m an idiot or just “kiasu” as my Singapore friends love to call it- and ended up with both.
The one I’m giving away, I’ve never used and comes with a 50mm f1.8 FD lens. This is a fully manual SLR. Tons of manuals online but I like this one.
So how about it? Sound good? 
All you have to do is to:
1) follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/jennifertai. Not on Twitter? Well go get one!

What the heck! I’m feeling nostalgic and miss my old A-1. I entered.
I joined both here and Twitter. I also uploaded my dance on my twitter page. Photolinds1 check it out.
Whoops, Michael you’re right! I had confused it with the Canonflex. the A-1 is however the world’s first SLR with exposure compensation, right?
Good luck everyone! Lindsay I can’t seem to see your video. Can you post a link here?
