Hi, what a great forum i must say. i am currently using F-1 AE w/md and my fave lens would be my 20mm, 50L, 85L, 28-85f4 for my event shoots and 100macro. But recently my 299T flash died on me, Canon Service Ctr refuse to take on the job. Pretty much devastated after serving me all these years. Though I still got my 577G, i need a more handy one. I am not gonna buy a 2nd hand T-series flash, not risking it so ....what is the nearest thing that i could buy brand new and be as compaitable to my F-1? Any kind souls out there who could share?

This is a MARVELOUS effort ! I didn't expect such a fine work existed just "made" specifically for the camera that I have been using for the last twenty years or so. The new f-1 is a superb camera and its is so much fun to use in various combinations with the various system accessories. Although it is aged by modern standard but I think it can still easily be ranked as one of the best MF SLR that ever designed for 35mm SLR photography. Thanks to all who are spending time maintaining this highly informative forum, I have picked up a few good tricks from the various inputs as well, regards from the sunshine states !

Micheal, Canon did produce a camera that allows you to work just the way you seam to want it's called a T90. check out it's abilities. Just like Chevy producing a hlaf dozen different pickup truck models. Canon did different things with different cameras to suit different users. A pro in 1982 would have had a choice of a F-1N and an A-1 both excellent cameras and both with different capabilities. By 1984 the T90 was on the market that when combined with an F-1N makes a very hard to beat combo. My "Working Kit" (as apposed to my total Canon Fd mount collection) is made up of 2)T90's one normally has a D screen the other normally has a B screen and the Command Back 90, The other half of my "Working Kit" is 2) F-1N's both equiped with AE winder FN's (unless the job doesn't require them like macro) I include Eye Level finder FN AE finder FN Waist level finder FN and SpeedFinder FN along with all 6 of the super brite mnatte screens a AE, PE, AD, and AL screens. This combo of four bodies and accessories when used with my large lens collection allows me to do anything from a wedding to macro to remote operation widlife to super telephoto (up to 1000mm w/FD optics)to street photography with a classic 35mm f2.0 Chrome nose B&W lens, to astrophotography when combned with my Meade ETX-90 UHTC telescope. So the system works anyway you desire.

You should just buy more system. and before you think I'm some rich guy I drive trucks for $15.00 an hour I just have my priorities slanted towrads Canon Fd equipment and not a new car or truck to drive etc. Canon FD offers just about everything even limited AF

"Comments on the lack of exposure lock" Thanks for your reply Mister K. Considering the F-1n as a full manual camera is surely the right way to handle the spot metering - option. I only wondered, why the designers of this system don't give me the chance to combine every feature in a sensfull way and let me decide the way I want to work. I think also with integral-metering the AE-lock would be a good feature. But it seems that not so many people are missing it. Maybe trying it out myself will change my point of view. Cheers. Michael

Lindy, Thanks for your thoughts. I have checked out the site you recommended. I agree that with the back construction of the new F1, it shouldn't be at all difficult for a company such as Kodak or Leaf to manufacture a full frame digital kit to replace the back and power winder or drive. Surely with all those F1, A1 and other FD system users about, there must be some sort of viability to such a modification. I'd be very surprised if Canon itself would ever offer any 'new age' FD system bits and pieces. Please keep me informed if you find out any more. Regards Steve.
