The trusty, but obsolete Canon A1
Between 1985 - 2002, and for a very brief period during 2005, The Canon A1 was the camera I used to take my pictures with using a 35-70mm zoom lens, which was very handy for transport photography. This isn't the actual A1, but it is identical and was used as a spare. I still have the original one, which is in better condition than this example; it's just that I can't remember where I've put the other A1!
I almost exclusively used slide film in the A1, mainly Agfa 100ASA in the late '80s and early '90s, moving on to the much better quality Fuji slide film from the early '90s onwards. The Canon A1 was a great camera to use and a quality SLR, but sadly it's become a museum piece in the digital age; with examples barely making £20 on ebay.
