@HDv1de0 No, the QL17 does not have an interchangeable lens.

i dont know anything about film slrs so this might sound really stupid but to get the picures from the canon ae 1 u go to like walgreens and get the film developed right? its not like u hook up a usb cable of course. but anyway if u want to get ure images on the omputer u take it to walgreens one hour later uve got the images and then u scan them in? is that right? please help cuz i really like the good dof and quality of the ae 1 and that it so cheap and small,

Yeah, you can scan them yourself, (always scan the negatives, not the prints), or you can get them to scan the pictures at the time they develop them, I know Wal-mart offers scanning services, but I'm not sure about Walgreens. These services are generally low-resolution scans, not suitable for printing larger than 4x6". There are dedicated camera shops and online services that offer high-resolution scans, albeit at a much higher price. It depends what you wanna do with your photos.

@amspiro

Find a good film development place. I know one in Chicago is Quality Photo Plus, but if you find a specialty place they're usually cheaper and much higher quality.

@amspiro You have to get the film developed before you can do anything else. It's generally most convenient to have a some other place develop the film rather than trying to do it yourself (B&W print film is the easiest to do yourself, but you still need a light-tight room and some chemicals; other films you cannot do yourself).

Once that's done, you'll have some prints with the film negs (unless you used slide film). It's best to have a special scanner to scan the film negs.

Dude that Robot Royal 36 is soooo cool.

The AE-1P will not allow any functions to operate (including the lever) when there is no battery. I know this because I own an AE-1P myself.

[jai1280]

my friend just lend me his dad AE-1 P. it doesn't have a battery, but my concern is the film advance lever of it can't be move to its full position. i've make a research and some says that it locks when the battery is empty or the film is full. what do you think guys? tnx!
