One of the easiest SLR cameras to use - simple controls and automatic operation. Introduced in 1983, the T50 is aimed at simplicity. It has motorized film winding with easy film loading, and operates in Program Automatic mode. This means that the camera sets both the shutter speed and aperture, so all you need to do is focus the lens and shoot. The controls on the top are minimal, so it is hard to get things wrong, and the zoom lens lets you get closer to the action. We also stock the original flash units that Canon designed specifically for this camera. Click here to view. The camera runs on 2 x AA batteries, and is an excellent starter for people getting into film photography. Camera and lens both in excellent condition, and full working order.

One of the most desirable cameras ever made – the T90 is a head-turner. With it’s beautiful curved body, staggering capabilities, and lovely layout the Canon T90 has it all. The pinnacle of cameras prior to the introduction of autofocus, it crams almost any feature you could need, while still retaining a very logical and simple control layout. The viewfinder combines the bright LED readout of aperture and shutter speed, with LCD indicator of over / under exposure. Ergonomically it is a joy to hold with integrated hand grip and tactile rubber surface. We won't even attempt to list it's capabilities (we would run out of space).Comes complete with a Canon New FD 50mm f/1.8 lens (or you can select a 35-70mm zoom as an option).Condition• Body in good condition – minor marks.

A groundbreaking camera that showcased Canon’s first use of computerization to control camera functions. Excellent functionality combined with ease of use. Introduced in 1984, the T70 has an onboard computer and a good set of features. It has motorized film winding and rewind, and Program Auto, Shutter Priority and Manual Exposure modes (comparable to the Canon AE-1 Program). It has a simple but very clear viewfinder display that tells you which mode you are using, plus the aperture that the camera is selecting. In Program Auto mode, you simply need to focus the lens and click the shutter. In Shutter Priority mode, you can select your chosen shutter speed using the up/down buttons on top of the camera, and the camera will automatically select the correct aperture to give perfect exposure. We also stock the original flash units that Canon designed specifically for this camera. Click here to view. To the left the camera has a slide switch that turns on the power and selects the metering mode / self timer The camera is clever in offering two metering modes: Average metering (good for most situations) measures the light across the whole frame. Partial metering measures the light in the centre only which is great for tricky situations such as backlit subjects or deep shadow. The camera runs 2 x AA batteries, so no fancy Lithium cells needed here ! In very good condition. 

One of the most stylish SLRs ever made, the Canon F-1 is a beautiful camera to use. It was in production for a full 10 years from 1971 until 1981, underlining its status as one of the key professional cameras of the era. It operates in full manual mode, with the built-in light meter. The viewfinder has the match needle system, but also displays the selected shutter speed.  It has a lovely slick wind / shutter release action, and can operate without batteries (only the meter uses battery power). Has a removable prism, and many different focusing screens available along with a huge range of professional accessories. The camera operates fully mechanically, and only uses the battery for the light meter. The F-1 is fairly sensitive to battery voltage so we recommend using either a Wein Cell or a 1.35v battery adaptor for meter accuracy. Supplied with f/1.4 50mm lens, or as body only. Condition Overall excellent condition Very small dent on the top of the prism cover Has Type-A focusing screen in very good conditoin   All functions are working correctly including all shutter speeds and light meter.
