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.

Question: For anyone including Canon Cameras. Is there a way to use my Canon FT QL and FD lenses from my F-1 and FT QL Canon Cameras on a Canon Digital Camera or is there someone out there that knows how to adapt these lenses to use with a digital camera?

I have many cameras including an old Canon F1. As I am getting older, I've gone autofocus and digital, and am getting rid of my other cameras and lenses but not my F1 nor my Canon 100mm macro. Got 'em out the other day and find (no big surprise) that the battery (which runs the exposure meter) is quite dead. Yes, I left it in the camera, and yes, I know that was a mistake. I was not able to replace it at my local battery place, and plan to take it to a camera repair shop. However, I am wondering if any of you has tips. TIA - and enjoy your F-1. Great camera! Lou

I use a Canon F1 with a 1.4 50mm lens with 10 and 20 mm extension tubes for macro photography primarily of nature. Will I improve my product any by using a 50/55mm 3.5 macro lens with extension tubes or is the cost of the macro lens not worth the investment? Thanks. Enjoy the site. CJ

I have a Canon F1 which I purchased in the early 70's. My son put his finger through the shutter a few years ago, and I haven't used it since. Now I wanted to take it in for repair and am being told Canon does not make this shutter replacement part any more. Can anyone PLEASE tell me if I can get this repaired somewhere with an aftermarket shutter ??????? H E L P Thanks in advance. Karin

AV-1 ? You have boarded the wrong message board (http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/messageboard/canonaseriesmsg/index.php3).

I have recently acquired a Canon AV-1 camera and would be most obliged if any one could direct me to a web site where I might be able to download a user guide/operating instructions. Thanks in advance, David Brooks
