After reading many, many 35mm posts I decided to try it again. I sold all my equipment so I advertised in the local area for a $100.00 35mm deal ... here is what I got for my money ...

2 Canon AE-1 Program bodies; Canon FD 35-70mm 1:3.5-4.5 Zoom Lens; Canon FD 50mm 1:1.8 Lens; Osawa MC 35-105mm 1:3.5-4.5 Macro; Sears MultiCoated 28mm 1:2.8 Lens; Vivitar Skylight (1A) Filter; Tiffen UV Haze-1 Filter; Vivitar Zoom Thyristor 3500 Flash; Canon Speedlite 188A Flash ... the seller tossed in a baker's dozen of various speed film, the newest expired in 2007

I also got a good deal on 20 rolls (2 sealed packs of 10) of Agfa Photo 400 Vista Plus film that is good until March 2017.

If you are interested in more gear I have a Canon F-1 with a power winder, a 35mm a 50 1.4 and a 135mm 1-a Skylight filter on each lens a CPL and 2 focusing screens, Let me know If $150 for the whole thing is OK

My last manual focus SLR was an AE-1P and I loved it. You got a great deal. Enjoy it.

For $100 - its a great deal made by RLSeipleSr. You should be able to get maybe a bit more for this lot, boberic. If you don't get an offer, you might get a quote from KEH.

2 AE-1 bodies in working order and unexpired film. Everything else after that and you "made money". Good job!

The Canon AE-1 Program is a fantastic camera - I have one and love it. From an ergonomic standpoint, the most comfortable camera I've ever had in my hands. It makes photography fun.

So I reach across my desk, and think of nostalgia....

I bought my AE-1 in 1976. She still feels great in my hands, just fired a few shutter releases, she likes some exercise.., as do the "Tanks" - the T90s....

Not used so much these days, but times move on...

On the other hand I like some of my old lenses on a digital body, that FD 135 F/2.0 is a sweet lens...., the FL 55mm f/1.2 is nice....

Aah, the old days....

RL, what do you plan to do with all this stuff? Are you going to develope yourself? Is the film B&W or color?
Personally I wouldn't use any of the film as it's impossible to know if it's reliable.
Anyway, however you shoot is up to you.
For me, doing good photography is a lot of work, especially with an slr. I need to be able to predict what I get.
Good luck with all that new gear. ;-)

SS, I'm keeping one body, the 50mm lens and the 35-70mm lens (both Canon) ... the rest of the stuff will go to my kid (turns 50 in a couple of months), he is ready to move up from PnS digital but really can't afford a DSLR right now ...

In the "good old days" I was mainly into B&W but ending getting rid of everything 35mm including the darkroom ... I think for now I will stay with color and let someone else process it for me ... my main camera will be my Canon DSLR and I'll 'play' around with the 35mm stuff ... that is if I remember how to ...

The 13 rolls of old film is all color (various speeds) and I think I will just toss them all, I don't see a reason for even trying them, probably more expense and effort than they are worth ...

I start a 10 day cruise tomorrow and I think I'll take both Canons with me just to see peoples reaction to the 35mm ... if things work out I may even dig out my 50 year old Zenith Photosniper ... :lol:

You are in for a great treat. Still use my XD-11 to keep me honest :-).
