Description
The Canon AL-1 QF is an exciting alternative to the more expensive AE-1, but almost always suffers from a broken battery door. We designed this replacement to solve the problem permanently.
Important note on installation: You need parts (the metal contacts) from your original battery door. Unlike the original, our version does not use a spring for the closing mechanism but holds securely through precise fit and friction.
Installation is easy and done in a few minutes. Please watch the video tutorial:
