![]() ![]() A quick Google search turned up a couple of references to other AE-1's with Omegas (not all made in the same year), but no explanation of what Canon meant by it. ![]() This is a reasonable date for an AE-1, but the Omega puzzles me. I read this as December 1980 (or January 1980 if the final character is a letter O, indicating that the camera was made at Canon's Oita factory, rather than a zero). ![]() It consists of a Greek capital Omega (Ω�) followed by U 1250 (with a gap after the U). I took it out shooting this morning with a Vivitar Series 1 28-90 f/2.8-3.5 and a roll of no-name 100 ASA B&W negative film pix forthcoming once I get the film developed.Īnyway, the reason I'm posting at the moment is that I find the date code printed in the film compartment rather puzzling. They rated it as EX+ condition, and I have to say the thing looks and acts like it's fresh out of the box (aside from the missing black plastic hot shoe cover, which doubles as a key to open the battery compartment - I imagine most used AE-1's are missing that part, and it's no big deal because a fingernail is adequate to get the battery compartment open). Yesterday I received a Canon AE-1 from KEH.
