The FA wan't released until I think 1983. 'Al' foaled in 1982...I got rid of my Canon for the FA the following year. I never liked the breech-mount FD lenses. They were good lenses but I hated the mount...took too much time to change lenses. This was before Canon and Nikon started making decent zooms and 'most of us' used only primes, at least I did. I had the slide printed back then so it's no longer in it's cardboard mount (with date) but in a Pakon mount, which I hope is archival?
