I recently picked up another Canon AE-1 and decided to take it for a walk to see if it was functioning right. Good news! It's working perfectly. I also decided to pick up a 35mm to throw on it and couldn't be happier with the results.
I also took it to the local aquarium... big risk considering I only had an ISO200 roll in it and i'm not the best at manually focusing fast moving subjects...
Cool!
Thanks, Dylan
