Canon AT-1
The Canon AT-1 is a 35mm film SLR introduced in the late 1970s, using the Canon FD lens mount. It sat below the AE-1 in Canon's lineup of the period, offering centre-weighted match-needle metering rather than shutter-priority automation.
Sales data for the AT-1 is thin: a single recent UK auction hammer result in September 2025 closed at £110, which gives an indicative wholesale value but not a reliable range. Buyers asking what a Canon AT-1 is worth today should treat that figure as a guide only, since condition, working meter, and bundled FD lenses materially affect what the body sells for at saleroom level.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Canon AT-1 worth in the UK today?
The most recent UK auction hammer price on record is £110 from September 2025; with only one data point, treat this as indicative rather than a firm market value.
How much does a Canon AT-1 sell for at auction?
Recent evidence points to around £110 at hammer for a working body, before buyer's premium, with price sensitive to meter accuracy and whether an FD lens is included.
Is the Canon AT-1 the same as the AE-1?
No. The AT-1 shares the FD mount and body shell family but uses match-needle manual metering instead of the AE-1's shutter-priority automation, and it generally sells for less.
