My dad’s old SLR. Canon AL-1 that he used during his student years at UK.

"The Canon AL-1 Quick Focus (QF) was introduced in March, 1982. The AL-1 featured here is not an autofocus camera, but rather an SLR with an electronic rangefinder to provide focus assistance. The first AF camera from Canon was the short-lived FD mount Canon T-80 introduced in April, 1985 (‘Short-lived’ because it was discontinued slightly over a year later in June, 1986).

You can regard the AL-1 as a soul searching camera model from Canon to bridge a gap before they eventually found a perfect theory of how autofocus should work in a SLR camera with the EOS concept."
