I simply like this camera. Owned this for almost 8 years, sold it. But damn regret for the disposal...

Till, The New F-1 does not have a full auto mode if the Aperture (with AE head) and Shutter (with winder or drive) priority is enabled. You can have either or ... not both. This is why I also have a T-90 for when I get lazy. The self timer is set for 10sec. Unless there is some additional attachment that I am unaware of.

hi! just bought a new f1 and have 2 questions remaining:1: i read that setting both the aperture and the speed to postion "a" would result in kind of multimode/full ae. is that correct? i tested it but it seems to lock the aperture at about f8 & just adjusting speed... 2: on the "camera museum" website the selftimer is described as "adjustable" but my manual just says it will produce a 10s delay. so is it adjustable & if: how? thanx in advance and not to forget: this is a great site!

I am dreading the day when my F-1n is not usable. I would think of selling it if:

1. The Canon EOS 1Ds MII costs too much.
2. Cannot put my FD lenses on the EOS.
3. My F-1n (and lenses) has such character that to some people it looks "beat up" or "damaged".

Hmmm, I wonder what we are all going to do once production of roll film halts? At the rate that the film companys are closing production facilities it is inevitable that this will come ... an I think sooner that we hope for. Will there be a niche industry manufacturing custom Black & White 35mm roll film ... and we all end up mixing our own developer/fixer chemicals ??? Or will we switch over to 4x5 so we can make our own glass plates??? Or can someone make a "real" digital back for our 35mm SLR cameras so they can adapt to the Digital Age ??

Hullo F1n-ers. If anyone's interested I have found a way of de-greasing and refurbishing the 'untouchable' fresnel screens for the F1n, (and likewise other removable 'acrylic' screens). Easy once you know how. If interesred, e-mail me. Cheers All! (willymarybec@aol.co.uk)

Hey, I had a Canon F1N LA 1984 SLR for many years now and it still works perfectly well, and as soon as you hold it you can feel the solid build. Honestly if you do not have one of these cameras you should find someone who has and just ask to get a feel of it. You will be hooked. The build is much stronger then the modern digital SLR's but they are well have now taken over. 9I have one as well now). I can put my pics onto the ipod and then create a slidshow on the TV with music. I highly reccommend getting one good for photographers. Cost may put people off but you can get it for free just follow the link above. It really does work thats how i got my Ipod. Anyway gone off track here, the Canon even has titanum shutter blades, with titanium being the strongest metal around. Can hadel wide range of temps from -30 degrees to around +90 degrees (i think). Definatly if you going into the desert or any cold or hot country it would be better to take a good old manual SLR like the F1 then a digital. My friend had a digital that got damaged in the Dubai desert because of the sand, the F1 was fine!!

Sadly the film makers have taken a beating thow with Kodak (in the UK) cutting down its workforce in film production so the digital era has taken its toll on some firms. Although i'm sure there will always be good quality films avaible. But we have to face it that the digital camera is now the future and film SLR will probabily end up like the TLR or the Plate film. Anyway what are your views on the digital SLR's and their compatability with ipods, pda and laptops against the F1?

I am interested in selling my trusty F-1n with AE Motor Drive, FN and battery pack. I have the original instruction manuals for both the camera and the drive. Also included are extra focusing screen, strap, and I’ll even throw in a 50mm 1.2 lens if you are interested. The camera is well-used, but in good condition. There is some brassing, but the equipment has been well maintained. It was my “second camera” for the last twenty years. (for sentimental reasons, I’m keeping my even more well used “first camera”). The meter and shutter are in good working order. I checked them out in May. Please e-mail me at janice@janicerubin.com if you are interested, and I can send photos of the equipment.
