Collection: Autofocus SLRs

12 products

SLR (Single Lens Reflex) cameras have interchangeable lenses, so you can use wide angle, zoom, telephoto lenses for maximum creativity and flexibility.

Ideally suited to beginners, Autofocus SLRs are the most automated style where the camera focuses the lens itself. If you prefer the more traditional (manual focus) style then check out our Manual Focus SLRs.

    A milestone in photography: Canon's first autofocus SLR camera During the 1980s major camera manufacturers were all competing hard to add autofocus to their SLRs. See the gallery for some example shots we took with a T80 and 35-70mm lens. Canon's entry was the T80, introduced in 1985. To build a truly point-and-shoot camera the design is very minimal, with a heavy slant towards total automation. It has 5 automatic exposure modes.  Program mode - automatically selects both aperture and shutter speed Deep depth of field mode - selects aperture and shutter speed with a bias towards smaller apertures Shallow depth of field mode - selects aperture and shutter speed with a bias towards wider apertures (good for portraits) Stop action - selects aperture and shutter speed with a bias towards faster shutter speeds (for sport) Flowing mode - allows the user to select a shutter speed (suggested for shooting moving subjects).  With this level of automation there are very few buttons, and the exposure mode is selected with the slider on the top right, with pictograms to show you which mode you have selected. 3 special autofocus lenses were released to go with the camera: 50mm 35-70mm zoom 70-210mm zoom  All lenses have an unmistakable shape / profile to house the autofocus mechanism making this a striking camera to carry around - 1985 retro looks rock ! Note that the T80 can also take standard Canon FD mount lenses (the same as the Canon AE-1). While they don't have autofocus capability, you simply focus manually with the added benefit that the T80 tells you when the focus is correct. We also stock the original flash units that Canon designed specifically for this camera. Click here to view. The camera runs on 4 x AAA batteries. Camera and lens both in very good condition, and full working order.

    Nikon’s first ever autofocus SLR and winner of the 1986 Camera Of the Year award. Blends high technology with traditional exposure controls – an awesome combination. The Nikon F-501 was Nikon's first popular autofocus SLR for 35mm film, launched in 1986. Nikon cameras at the time were aimed at the pro / advanced consumer market and this camera demonstrates superb build quality.  It has a built-in motorised film drive (up to 2.5 shots per second), and with autofocus is excellent for sports and wildlife photography.  Unlike more recent cameras, most controls are via buttons and dials on the body - much better and faster to use than menus on tiny LCD screens. Also checkout the Nikon F-601 - the successor to the F-501 and a lovely camera. Features: Multiple exposure modes Electronically controlled shutter. Stepless shutter speeds from 1s to 1/2000 Electronic self-timer Meter can cope with very wide range of lighting conditions Film speeds from 12 to 3200 ISO.  Automatic film loading Single or Continuous shooting modes Takes standard alkaline batteries Compatible with a huge range of Nikon SLR lenses and accessories A landmark SLR from arguably the greatest camera maker of the era.
