It came with the 50mm kit ,hoya 70-200,sirus 28-80 macro,canon 35-70 macro,tora 22-80 ?: ozeck II 28-100 plus a motordrive and a tatty case.

All for £50 :D
 
I have a mint one of these I really ought to get rid of now I have the EOS 3.

The A1 is possibly the best looking camera Canon ever made, and it was the camera which really established them as a serious competitor to Nikon. It wasn't really produced as a pro camera, but the pros were quick to see the potential of the multi modes on the A1 and took it up in their droves.
 
Wow £50 for all that, absolute bargin well done :clap:.
 
A classic camera! - I had one many years ago and it served me well. Just watch out for the famous 'Canon squeek' from the shutter. If it starts to do this it's a fairly cheap lubrication job and well worth getting done IMO.

Don't know if you have the manual, but if you don't you can download one HERE

Enjoy!
