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.

Michael Mitsch - Yes, the Power Winder F will work with the F-1 (but NOT the winder FN made for the new F-1). I believe you shouldn't attach/detach the winder with film in the camera (you have to remove the base plate and the film can get fogged). If the ISO speeds go up to 3200 your F-1 dates from 1976-81 (the 71-76 model only went to ISO 2000 and didn't have the plasic tip on the film advance lever. John Tobias - to date your F-1, take a look into the chamber where you load the film, you should see some figures printed (in black, helpfully!). The last character is a letter - Q=1976, R=1977 etc. up to Z=1985 - the date of manufacture of the camera (true for most/all Canons. Helpfully yours, Mark.

I have just purchased a New F1 and motor drive FN in mint condition. This camera is magnificent! Even though the camera and drive are in mint condition it is missing a couple of things. The original PC terminal cover is missing. Might someone have an extra one they might sell to me? Also, I'm looking for a leather eveready case and need to know which version fits my camera. I have a standard view finder not the AE one. I am also looking for an eyecup to replace the rubber ring on the viewfinder. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, JK

I came across a Power Winder F and was wondering if it will work with an original Canon F-1?

I have a Canon F-1 and on the body it is s/n 654875. It has shutter speeds of 1~1/2000 sec. and film speed 25~3200. Can anybody give me a little history on this body? I would like to get it cleaned up and restored and would appreciate any tips as to who does this in the USA.

Thanks!

I loved using my Canon F-1 for many years. But when my children became active in sports, it became too slow and bulky. I bought a Canon Ae-1 and really like it. I would like to sell the F-1 I have (which I received from my grandfather in 1978) but do not know its approximate value. It takes great pictures - especially portraits. Any ideas? Thank you so much.

I have a canon F1 that i purchased in 1975. It is an incredible work horse and has served me well. However, the shutter screen is worn and I am getting darkness over half of my pictures. I was told that there are no longer parts to repair this camera due to the age. Does anyone know of a place that I can have the shutter screen replaced because I hate having to give this camera up.
Thanks

Is Canon's 250 film chamber--designed for the original F-1--compatable with the later (last) version of the F-1?

Thanks.
