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.

FANTASTIC SITE!!! I collect F-1s. Primarily F-1n. Though I do I have a super low serial number F -1, 101497. So its like the 1497th F-1 made. I was wondering whats the lowest numbers in private hands? A second question, I have focusing screen Y, yes Y, and its new in the" Y "marked blue and white era box. It seems to be a fast lense screen for use with servo ee. I do not have a complete servo ee to test my assuption. Its not in any of my literature,. But I want to know more about it... Other than screens A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I and Y , are there other ones I am not aware of other than the laser " L " versions of each. My Y is not laser. Thanks! Lindy

I bought an F1 at around 1976. Its serial number is 548308. When I bought it it was supposed to be the newly
redesigned F1. I would like to buy amotor drive for it but I am not sure which is the drive used by my F1.
Can anyone assist me identifying if this is the F1N or what and the type of motor drive that I need?

Thank you

Victo

John Phillips - take a look at message 51(?)currently on Page 5 of the archives, you need to look inside the camera to check the age of the camera. (You'll understand if you read the posting!). Cheers, Mark.

Hi -- I recently purchased an old style F-1 with a serial # in the low 300k. Anyone know about when it was manufactured? Any maintenance/reliability tips for this age? Thanks

I have a Canon F1n (made 1977) that badly needs cleaning, lube, adjustment and re-foaming at least at the mirror. Would appreciate any and all recommendations for a repair shop for this fine old camera. I want to restore it to as near new condition as possible. I live near Wash DC but can mail anywhere. Prefer the USA. Please email me favorable experiences with repair shops. Thank you in advance for your time. Don

Just bought a Canon F-1 (post 1976 model) (F-1n). Anyone know of a source for the proper instruction manual online? I found the manuals for the 1971 model and the 1981 model. Thanks in advance. Gredat Site!!
