Description

The Canon AE-1 was the first SLR to feature a built-in central processing unit (CPU), making it a landmark in the transition to computer-automated photography. This unit is paired with an "Underground" brand aftermarket zoom lens, typical of the 1980s era when photographers expanded their kits with third-party glass.
