Condition Descriptions
Please read our Guarantee.
Mint
Factory's MINT cameras and lenses have been overhauled or serviced to precise, like-new or near-mint specifications. All our mint items are Factory Certified and guaranteed to work flawlessly after our professional repair or CLA service.
Excellent
Factory items rated as EXCELLENT are thoroughly tested and inspected with task-specific equipment (shutter speed testers, for example) to ensure they function properly and accurately. Any existing flaws will be documented, but they will not impact typical use.
Good
All items with status GOOD are hand-tested, inspected, and confirmed to be in good working order. These items perform well, but may just show signs of use and wear, i.e. they are not in perfect cosmetic condition. Flaws will be noted, but they will not affect typical use.
Fair
All items marked as FAIR may have flaws that could affect how smoothly an item operates (a rear door may stick when being opened, or a lens focus ring may turn roughly). But even if the camera or lens doesn’t perform like new, or isn't in prime cosmetic condition, it still functions properly.
Please note that since FAIR items did not meet our quality control standards, we do not guarantee their performance or condition. Items are sold as-is.
The Canon Speedlite 155A is a compact and reliable flash unit designed for Canon’s A-series 35mm SLR cameras, including the AE-1, A-1, and AT-1. Featuring a guide number of 17 (meters at ISO 100), it offers two automatic exposure modes—green (f/5.6) for subjects within 0.5 to 3 meters and red (f/2.8) for distances up to 6 meters—ensuring consistent and accurate lighting. The flash automatically sets the camera’s shutter speed to 1/60 second when charged, streamlining the shooting process.
Powered by four AA batteries, the Speedlite 155A delivers over 300 flashes per set, making it ideal for extended shooting sessions. Its straightforward design includes a manual mode for creative control and a pilot lamp that doubles as a flash-ready indicator and test button. With a flash coverage suitable for lenses 35mm and longer, this unit is a dependable choice for photographers seeking a vintage flash to complement their Canon film cameras.
