Classic SLRs Series : |
EOS-1 Series is Canon's flagship camera model which uses the autofocus EF/EOS system as the backbone. The Series which comprised of the original EOS-1 has evolved to the present EOS-1v (film based) to EOS-1D (Digital based) which widely acclaimed as the most used professional camera right now at the professional user's market. Here is a common Message Board designed specifically for Canon EOS-1 Series SLR model which aims for common support and sharing mutual knowledge among users. Hope fully it will see its worth in time to come.

I have a question: the large lenses (aperture) like the EF200 f1.8L - can they use polorizer ? I know they used rear drop type, but can they ? Fron (large diamter) or the rear ?2. From : EOSers (canonballs9909@hotmail.com)

hi. What has happened to my post ? next, just found the bottom link to the new EF site - GREAT STUFF ! info on the 70/210 f/4 is not available previously on the web - it is finally here, that is good. (used to have one previously. It was a good lens with a very useful zoom range - it is so much cheaper than as compared to the price that I sold back in 99.3.

If you can live with slower film advance rate, the alternate is a better consideration (cheaper, and lighter and as the moderator said, it takes popular AA cells. Good site here - tons of good info !4. From : Co-Moderator, Gary Rowan Higgins (nomail@ncable.net.au)

Actually, what is the difference between the two Booster E1 and Booster E1 ? kind of getting confusing for me. I am gathering some info to buy an used camera, EOS1 is one of the short listed model (another is a nikon f90x).

Do you mean the earliest Power Drive Booster E1 for the EOS 1? This did not have a marked AE lock button as does the later versions, and had some restrictions as to what batteries could be used (ie. not Lithium AA batteries). Battery Pack E1 is a lighter and less bulky version of the PDB-E1 but is now very hard to find. The PDB-E1 ramps up the high speed shooting rate to a full 6 frames per second while the Battery Pack E1 is about 3 frames at maximum, so it all comes down to what you use the EOS 1/1N for (mind you, AA batteries are much easier to source overseas than 2CR5 batteries!). My experience with the Nikon F90X (and similarly F801 a decade earlier) was not a pleasant one and that's as much I'm offering on Nikon. --grh5. From : greg (question@eosuser.com)

I have an opportunity to pick up a Canon EOS 1 camera body in excellent condition for $250. I am just getting back into photography after a lengthy absence and was wondering if this is a good investment. My plan is to step into a digital SLR system however also wanted to purchase a used film SLR to comliment the digital system. I am leaning towards the Canon EOS20D digital system at the moment. I have a complete Pentax Spotmatic F system witha full compliment of Takumar lenses from when I was activly involved with photography. Any comments are appreciated.

It's not clear whether you are loosely referring to the EOS 1 or EOS1N; I assume it is the 1, which pre-dates the 1N. $250.00 sounds like a good ask for a specimen in excellent condition, however, given the passage of greater than 10 years circulation of the EOS 1, it would be wise to have the camera go through extensive tests to establish whether it has in fact been in heavy use: not all cameras are or have been belted about the bush by pros; many are mollycoddled studio slaves and appearances can belie the number of exposures made, which can often be huge, and cameras, like humans, can develop niggly little problems with advancing age.
Keep in mind the metering system of the EOS 1 would look fairly primitive alongise that employed in the EOS 20D, and your lens will have a slightly reduced focal length on the 20D as opposed to the 1 or 1N. I put emphasis on what the photographer can achieve with the camera, not the other way around, which is unfortunately how the digital photography world is presenting itself. It is still better to grasp and refine photographic skills using film media rather than digital as too much can change or be changed in the transition from camera to computer (colour gamut being but one factor). Technical restrictions on digital cameras can 'block' the way to the development of refining skills essential to understanding your chosen subject matter, be it landscape, people, action etc.). --grh

Hello , i've recently bought Canon 1N . Camera has no receipt , so age of camera is unknown . Is any ways to get date of purchase by serial number or something else ?
Sincerely ,
Dmitri

Not unless it was insured and you are able to track down the insurer/owner/date of purchase, which has privacy implications. I suggest you have the camera thoroughly tested by Canon. So long as it comes through with flying colours, you need not worry about its future capacity to serve you, as the EOS 1N is thoroughbred workhorse built for tough use. I always recommend a check by Canon (especially) to ensure that the camera hasn't been tampered with (ie. mirror/film chamber or back, shutter button etc) by "home mechanics". --grh8.

A stupid question for EOS gurus here: Is the newer image stabiliser (IS) EF lenses works on older EOS-1 or the newer EOS-1N? Does it requires any setting on the cmaera to use them? I am worried because the EX flash E-TTL is not working with these older Canon and are the lenses also have some restrictions just as the flash (E & A-TTL) ? I got an offer for the EOS-1n but the seller cannot answer me...
***
I don't know what would prevent any of the present EF IS lenses to not be suitable for the EOS 1N. The viewfinder may darken appreciably above f5.6, but otherwise, the camera should work with the IS without fuss. Some people have been critical of heavy power drain on the 2CR5 battery when using an Image Stabiliser lens; and it is worse with constant use. It is folly to rely on IS all the time: use a tripod. Power drain is not so much a problem with the power drive booster E1 (PDB-E1 attached), although 8 batteries, a heavy IS lens and the already heavy 1N equals quite a monster-weight to haul around! I am not sure if IS lenses work effectively on the EOS 1 as that camera pre-dates IS technology by some years. Finally, the EX-series flashes were NOT designed for use with the EOS 1N (EOS 1, 1N, RS, EOS 5, all used the EZ-series flashguns ie. 540EZ) --grh.
