It is indeed a sad state to see the FD mount New Canon F-1 has to retired from service this way; it cannot even enjoy potential benefit to utilize the more advance electronic EF mount as with the EOS users back in 1986. As a detaching system users, you may use this site for common support and sharing mutual knowledge or experiences among yourself. Ihope this convenience provided can be of useful to all of you who still owned this great piece of manual focus SLR. You may use this message board as a guestbook for the camera. Enjoy.

On the new canon F-1 the battery it uses is the standard 6v battery. On the newer version of the old F-1 the 1.3v vs the 1.5v is an issue and does effect the light meter. My advice- look online for a good voltage converter that screws into the bottom of the camera. You put a 1.5v in the converter- it delivers 1.3v continuous to your camera- for a while these were unreliable but technology always gets better and the past two I've used have worked perfectly. Good luck Josh

Subject: EE Servo Finder for Canon F1 'old' I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I have just purchased an EE servo finder on eBay. However, it doesn't come with the battery pack. My questions: 1. Where is the best place to can find the battery pack for it? 2. Can I use an AC adapter that produces 12V to try out the servo finder. Thank you for your advice.

Ioni, Try www.keh.com. They have them both listed. I've orderded from them and was very satisfied with theis service. They are not cheap though. BTW I live in Europe and this is no problem for them. It was for local customs so I had to pay a small import fee. Good luck Norbert

I also have a problem with the Booster T Finder, which I've never used. I mounted it on the F1, but the range of settings for the various ASA film speeds seem to be 3 full stops out of adjustment. For example, at 25 ASA the longest shutter speed is 8 secs and the change over point from booster to camera happens at1/4 sec. Similar values at 100 ASA are 3 secs - 1/15 secs. Checking the instruction manual, these should be the settings for 200 ASA and 800 ASA respectively. When set at 25 ASA, 8 secs is the longest shutter speed obtainable - it's not possible to go to 60 secs.

I would appreciate any advice from someone who knows the Booster T Finder. I suspect that the previous owner has been tinkering - and removed the speed dial, replacing it in the wrong position . Is it possible to do this and is it a simple job to remove the speed dial and correct the problem?
