caleb_monigold Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 <p>So I have looked on many other pages to try and date my Canon A-1 and they all say that the code inside the camera will determine when it was made. Well the code that is in mine begins with an A which corresponds to 1986 but the A-1 was discontinued in 1985... The next number is supposed to correspond to the month but it has a zero which is also confusing... Any ideas? Thanks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_bielecki1 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 <p>It is a 1986 camera. According to Peter Dechert (his Canon SLR book), production of the A-1 stopped during the winter of 1986/87.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
