The Canon AT-1 (1976) is the manual-only counterpart to the famous AE-1. Same A-series body chassis, same FD mount, same SPD metering, same electronic shutter — but **no autoexposure modes**. You set both shutter and aperture; the meter shows you whether the result is correctly exposed. The AT-1 was Canon's response to photographers who wanted A-series build quality without paying for AE features.
