Co-worker of mine is selling a Canon A1...

[JulesMaximus]

With a Sigma 35-200mm lens and a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Obviously, it's a film camera and the lenses are FD mount. She wants $50 for the whole kit. I saw the camera today and everything is in mint condition.

I honestly will probably never use this stuff. I'd like to think I'll tinker around with it but realistically I probably won't. I know it's worth more than $50 though.

Should I pick this up? I could sell it on ebay for twice that I'm sure. Hell, I could probably get $50 for the 50mm lens alone.

I still have my Canon AE-1 that my parents bought for me in the 7th grade (1982). It still works great and is a nice hearty 35mm camera.

film is not a pain in the ass. i actually like it better for prints than digital. all i do is mail off my rolls of film to mysticphotolab.com and in 2 weeks i have a set of beautiful 4X6 prints.
