Why it is trending
Film photography has a firm grip on younger creators right now, and the AE-1 sits at the center of that revival as the most recognizable entry-level SLR from the 1970s. Back-to-school and fall semester starts push first-time film shooters into the market every August and September.
What to look for
Check the top plate for the model designation printed in silver, confirming AE-1 not the similar-looking AE-1 Program, which carries a different price ceiling. Test the shutter by firing it without film, a squealing or sticky shutter indicates the foam seals and shutter blades need servicing, which cuts value. Look for the original FD-mount 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 lens still attached, since a complete body-plus-lens kit sells in the $150 to $200 range versus a body-only price closer to $80 to $100.
