I’ll include two more Ansel Adams books… Ansel Adams by Kate F. Jennings (hardback version) Yosemite Ansel Adams by Andrea G. Stillman (Softback version)

Nice clean Series 1 Vivitar 35-85 f2.8 lens with hood in Canon FD mount. No issues, clean, crisp glass and mount. Great for your old FD A series camera or to use with adapter for your mirrorless video camera. $95 shipped USA only, payment via USPS money order.

Make me an offer…

Shots look good, very sharp, which is an attribute to the Canon L lens. The only non-L lens I have is the 85mm 1.8. It too, is very sharp.

Can’t figure out how to edit listing…. Lower price…$125 shipped.

I found a reference from Canon where they recommend the PX28 silver oxide battery due to less battery drain and also differences in exposure metering. I don’t really understand the technical side of it, but I ordered PX28 silver oxide batteries for my A-1 and AV-1 cameras.

WTS my copy of “Ansel Adams at 100” book. It’s the first edition in very good to excellent condition with print and info sheet, both unopened. No tears, folds or damage. Includes original box. $175 shipped. USPS money order only.

Thanks Ken for the quick reply.

I had a number of A series Canon cameras back in the late 70’s and eventually moved to digital. Been thinking about getting back into film and picking up an A-1 camera. My question concerns the battery, specifically the PX28, which originally was a silver oxide battery. Now they are lithium. I seem to remember back then the lithium batteries caused the internal metering to be off. Canon recommended using only silver oxide batteries. I don’t see this recommended any more on the latest A-series camera blogs.I did find this on the KEH website. Special Note: The AT-1 is the one camera in the A series line that MUST have a silver-oxide battery; no lithium or alkaline substitutes should be used.

I have always had good success with KEH equipment and, like you, have found their ratings to be very conservative.
