Canon AE1 Program with Canon Speedlite Flash 188A Flickr

Canon Ae 1 Flash Unit. Canon AE1 Film Camera Film, 35mm and Instant Film Camera Any of the manufacturer 'speedlights' would be fine, but they always ran more expensive than the 3rd party ones.. I've mostly used sunpaks (26sr/344/383/444) which are also decent 3rd party flashes

Which flash should I pick for Canon AE-1? Flash question The Canon Speedlite 199A is a dedicated, thyristorized flash unit designed for operation with Canon "A" series cameras

Otherwise, any thyristor flash will work, you will just need to set your aperture based on the chart on the back of the flash, and your shutter speed to flash sync speed (in this case, 1/60s). It's not going to do well in a large area and/or long distances, but for a quick source of light that's as easy as reaching into your pocket, this is. Since it isn't, if you need a good bit of power, I would recommend either the Vivitar 283 or Sunpack 383
