The Canon A1 and AE-1 are still long lasting models.
My brother works with a camera tech in Wichita who works on Pentax and Canon
gear.
The guy is able to CLA a lot or scavenge parts to keep those cameras running.
A lotta GOOD and now affordable Canon glaqss out there, too!
I still have my 1967 Nikon F but don't use it much. Have a used Nikkormat FT3,
my FM, FM3a, N80, a Nikkorex body that had a slide on selenium meter (but now
has shutter issues), At one time I owned a Nikon Ftn with cordless motor pack -
motor did not work half the time and a Nikon S with holes in the shutter
curtain....

The A1 was an inspired design and a wonderful camera whose life was cut
short by EOS.
I used a pair of them for several years and loved them.
