You guys have been so helpful! THanks Ok! I won a Canon AE-1 off ebay and I purchased some film yesterday. Well, I could not find the button to release the...
... Jean, pull the rewind know straight up until it stops, then a little more yet until the film chamber door pops open. There's no other button to press. Good...
hello, I'm new to the group, I am wanting to buy a Canon F1 camera, I have two possible offers were I live: one is from a particular owner who used it for...
Welcome Rodrigo! Prices seem a little on the high side given condition listed, though there are lenses included. I'd check keh.com's online listings. Don't be...
Is it possible to borrow each camera for 10 min. and shoot some film with each using daylight and flash? (Use different shutter speeds when shooting the same...
... KEH doesn't like to sell here, and if I buy internationally, with custom taxes and shipping it usually goes to double the value, for these price ranges, so...
... No, and no. The New F-1 uses the PX-28 type battery which is still readily available, and likely to remain so for the forseeable future... Against this,...
... Is it a lithium battery? how many volts? thanks interesting to know the 1981 is very reliable, probably the most reliable of all pro grade Canon cameras?...
It's 6 volt and there's 2 types, the PX-28 which is silver oxide (I think), and the PX-28L which is lithium. The lithium one literally lasts for years in a...
hi, any website that says when a camera was made, given the serial number? and how many were produced? also for any other FD cameras I would be interested, T90...
... I honestly lose count of rolls, it's easier to express in years... Last ones for my New F-1s is 4 years (so far) & counting!! One may need replacing in...
I live in Minnesota and had my F1N out today for some shooting (it was +5F/-15C) ... it worked fine. I've had the camera for 20 years and have gone through 3...
Carl I have used my T90 in sub zero weather(around -10) in the evening down close to Wabasha trying to catch good eagle photos and the energizer AA lithium...
do you know how much light reflected up to the eyepiece (in %) is used for CdS photocell in mechanical F1 or for the silicon photocell (SPC) metering element...
No % listed, only that New F1N viewfinder brightness increased 20% or 1.5 X over other Canon products. The F1N brightsceens average another 1.2X brighter. ...
... thanks, do the increased brightness affects negatively the contrast or ease of focus compared with other cameras? with New F1N you refer to 1981 model, and...
I presume you are referring to Canon FD bodies. The original Canon F1 was built tough as nails (in fact you could probably hammer nails with it). All metal...
I'd go with the early F1 also without the concern about the batteries. Its an easy workaround and you don't really need a battery anyhow. I have a early F1 and...
I like that it is a basic reliable camera that takes excellent pictures. The F1 is always ready, always working, and feels like a good solid classic camera. I...
I say A1, my F1N is a neck breaker, A1 is a solid, reliable & very lightweight camera, does everyting F1 does, except spot light metering and gives perfect...
