old school

[mina]

I have had a fascination with old cameras for a while and have kept an eye out for one at a good price. I've not had good luck. Today i found an old canon (circa 1976) AT-1 35 mm camera. It still works and seems to be in good condition. The only thing i'm concerned about is finding the correct batteries to use. I was talking with a guy in the store and he said that type was his first camera and he still uses his and it takes great pictures. I'm really excited. Does anyone use one of these or something similar?

Is it AT or AE?

My first camera was a new '75 Minolta. It had a light meter, but everything had to be set manually. It took very nice pictures, but that was due to the Rokor 50mm lens I bought with it. I still have the lens. I should get it modified to fit my Nikon before the craftsmen who do that sort of thing, don't anymore.
