Introduced in 1976, the Canon AE-1 was one of the first SLRs to feature a microprocessor-controlled shutter, revolutionizing film photography. Its reliable electronics, bright viewfinder, and easy-to-use exposure modes made it an enduring favorite among both beginners and professionals. The AE-1 features shutter-priority auto exposure and full manual control, offering flexibility across shooting styles.

Compatible with Canon FD and New FD lenses, the AE-1 gives access to an excellent range of optics known for their sharpness and color rendition. It uses standard 35 mm (135) film and produces 36 × 24 mm negatives.

The Canon FD 135mm f/2 lens (JL13) has been inspected by CPB Darkroom. It is in good working condition with smooth focusing and responsive aperture blades. However, minor visible fungus is present on the optical elements, which may affect image contrast under certain lighting conditions. The lens shows moderate cosmetic wear consistent with age. 

Introduced in the late 1970s, the Canon FD 135mm f/2 is a highly regarded medium-telephoto prime known for its fast aperture and beautiful rendering. It produces excellent subject isolation and smooth background blur, making it a favorite for portrait, stage, and low-light photography.

This lens is compatible with all Canon FD and New FD-mount cameras, and can also be adapted for use on modern mirrorless systems with an appropriate adapter.
