I've got another camera body, this time from my brother's girlfriend. That's the second camera in as many weeks.

It "feels" correct, unlike the Pentax, which needs a CLA pretty badly. I was confident enough to use it at xmas this year. I showed up with a no-name flash that came with it and ended up stealing Gamma's hyoooge sunpak flash, she had used it on her camera. Which, coincidently, is the same as the one I got. A canon AE-1 Program. It's a rather dreadful body, metering wise. You can't tell the shutter speed or aperture from the viewfinder and the meter only tells you what it feels the aperture should be. It has the same squeeky shutter that every canon A* I have ever seen has, at least they're consistant.

Haven't decided what I'll do with it. It's a battery operated shutter so it's not good for long bulb exposures. I don't have any good glass for it. Maybe I'll sell it and parlay the money towards a D100(lawl) or some macro extension tubes.
