If its freshwater - you have a chance. If it's seawater - forget it. Saltwater and electronics don't mix. The first thing an owner does after a seawater mishap is to see if the camera works. And that's when the electronics fry terminally. Both camera models would represent enormous stripdown work. In terms of economic restoration the Canon AE1 in particular is near impossible. The best you can do with a seawater candidate is to submerge and thoroughly wash out in fresh water and hope you get lucky after careful drying and meticulous attention to lube. As the previous contributor said - "It's a tough call" Hope this helps Stuart Willis |
