Here we have a fully functional Canon AV-1 35mm film camera with a very nice Canon FD mount Seikanon 28-70mm F/3.5-4.5 zoom lens and a new battery installed. This camera is fully functional and ready to produce another lifetime of fantastic photos.

The Canon AV-1 is a part of the A-series, similar to the AE-1 and A-1. This camera shoots in aperture-priority auto-exposure mode, making it an excellent choice for people who are just starting out with SLR photography. The camera is extremely easy to use, but also capable of making exceptional photos on account of its use of the FD lens mount, which grants access to all of Canon's then-professional grade lenses.

Mechanically this lens and camera pair are perfect, and everything functions as it should. Viewfinder shows some blemishes internally which will not impact operation or image quality, but even so it is not perfect and for this reason the camera is being sold at a discount. Film compartment and battery compartment are clean and free of dirt or corrosion. Pressure plate and shutter curtain are in excellent condition. Mirror box is clean, and all knobs, dials, and switches actuate as they should.

Cosmetically there are some extremely light scuffs and markings to the body of the camera. These are hardly noticeable, but can be seen in the photos in the listing.

The lens is in great shape with clear glass. Filter threads are unmarred, as is the lens mount. The glass elements are perfect, free of fungus, balsam separation, and scratches, and the aperture blades are snappy and oil free. The focus ring and aperture ring actuate as they should.

This lens is a fantastic standard lens which produces excellent sharpness, and bokeh. It is an excellent lens for street photography, portraits, snapshots, and low-light shooting.

It will be shipped immediately and packaged securely to ensure safe delivery.
