    My second camera I bought new was the AE1 back in the 70s. I bought it as a backup to my Canon F1 for an upcoming trip to Spain. I shot mostly slide film through it and used a 35mm FD lens for travel. I mounted an 85mm FD lens to the F1 and shot mainly BW film with that. Sadly I lost the AE1 years ago when I lent it to a friend and it subsequently got destroyed when their house flooded during a hurricane. I've since replaced it but haven't shot with it although I probably will now that you've triggered those memories and inspired me. Thanks.

    Side note: There's actually two types of FD lenses: FD and nFD (new FD) Basically the original FD lenses had a chrome ring near the base, thus dubbed as "chrome-nosed FD lenses". nFD is just the newer version without the chrome nose, with minor updates. So nFD is just a bit sexier.

    Yeah but the chrome ring looks Hella cool and I was shocked to find my FD 1.8/50 (nFD) was made of plastic after it cracked! My older brother had the chrome ring lens and it's metal I think. One of the cool things about these cameras is the battery life measures in years and that's with leaving it switched on: the off position is just a lock against accidental exposure.

    I have one of these Canon AE-1 cameras that is in need of seal replacement. But in all I never really thought I would fall in love with it. Being that it considered a "beginner" camera it take nice pictures with the right film and set up. That double exposed picture even though by accident looks pretty damn cool. Liked the video on the camera and great pics also.

    An AE-1 was my first 'real' camera back in 1978 or so...still have it, and the shot counter counts up as it should. Could be your FD lenses were a bit iffy. I've been using my older FD lenses on a Sony A7R2 and A7R (since converted to IR) with a Novoflex adapter and they work surprisingly well, not to mention the A7R2 has in-body stabilization. Of course, it depends on the particular FD lens Some of the FD 'L' lenses are still very good performers (80-200L and 20-35L). And if you use the radioactive FD 35/f2 you won't need a yellow filter for B/W film. Enjoying your videos and your sense of humor.

    I have no idea which FD lenses you didn’t like. There were a few of those that were mediocre at best, but for the most part, they are pretty sharp lenses. Especially when you get into the SSC, or the L series. I used the 85mm 1.2, super sharp, it even gives a pretty sharp image at wide open, actually sharper than my EF series 85 1.2II.
