VTG 35mm Canon AV-1 Bundle w/ Aluminum Case & Manuals & Lenses & Filters Mostly clean (needs more); has some small rust needs removed; some scratches & scuffs on body; worn leather case; looks great! The Canon AV-1 is a 35 mm single-lens reflex camera with an FD lens mount, introduced by Canon Inc. in 1979. The AV-1 is very similar to the 1976 AE-1 but provides aperture priority autoexposure rather than the AE-1's shutter speed priority AE. The camera is not capable of fully manual exposure. Canon's international distributors, particularly in the United States, had clamored for such a camera because competing brands offered mostly aperture-priority cameras and some preferred it. The AV in the name referred to the type of autoexposure; Av (Aperture Value) is a common abbreviation for aperture priority. When this camera appeared, a new range of FD lenses was introduced, with instant mounting/unmounting of the lens. (INV #22)
