come and join the Rabbit as he shows off his Canon A-1
the Rabbit grademecated from high school in 1977. one year later Canon released the A-1 and it sold for $625.00 USD ... thats 625 1977 US dollars ... so 45 years after its first released i was happy to get a fully functional for under $100.00 USD ... thats 2022 US dollars ... based upon the price of a gallon of gas, that $100.00 2022 USD would be roughly equivalent to $10.00 1977 USD ... lol ...
anyways i fell in love with this camera the first time i picked it up and turned it on and looked through the viewfinder and saw the red LED display. reminded me of my texas instruments SR-50A camera i had in high school.
