The Canon AE-1 camera uses FD mount lenses. Canon made FD mount cameras and lenses from 1971 through 1987. FD lenses are manually focused. FD lenses are no longer being manufactured, but are available for incredibly low prices on the used market. Ebay is one good source.

The Canon AE-1 SLR camera uses the FD lens mount, which is not directly compatible with modern digital SLRs that typically use the EF or EF-S lens mounts. However, you can use FD lenses on some digital SLRs with an appropriate adapter, but this often results in a loss of autofocus and automatic aperture control. Additionally, compatibility may vary depending on the specific DSLR model and the quality of the adapter used. It's important to check individual specifications before attempting to use FD lenses on a digital camera.
