The NEW F-1 looks slightly different. Ther NEW F-1 is also refered to as nF-1 or F-1n (n for new). Just looking at the front of the camera you will notice on the Orig F-1 the Self-Timer/Stop-Down switch that is not present on the New F-1. Also the AE finder is only available on the nF-1. The AE finder is about two times taller and does not have that pointy head. The nF-1 also offers Shutter Priority with any winder/drive and Aperture Priority with the AE finder. The Orig F-1 is a fine camera, but the nF-1 is even better.

I have a question for those that have taken their nF-1 apart ... if you remove the base cover is there suppose to be a seal (such as an o-ring)? I have been caught in the rain a number of times and have notices that water can leak into this area. I only see water seals around certain parts of the base cover. (if you get water in this area it can corrode the "winding complete" switch which will cause the shutter not to release unless the battery meter button is pressed first)

Smitty, W means 1982 and 3 means March. The 01means the inspector number. In addition your body was made in the 13th month of production that continued for 10 years. Lindy

Mattias, I picked up a super mint- 400mm 2.8 L for $1600 US. Check out the ad as the pics are still up. Its an awsome 13 pound optic and I am quite happy with it. Check it out...

Smitty. Concerning the date of yout camera, look in the film compartment. You will likely find a letter and numbers. This is the date code. Tell me what that stamped ink mark says and I'll give you its month and year made. Lindy

I am trying to find out the month and year that my F-1N's were manufactured. I think that it has to do with the letter codes on the inside of the camera, but I don't know how to read them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Lindy, good that you tell me the 50-300L is not so important to have. You are right, the 2,8/300L is enough, and it is very good indeed. Another lens I love very much is the FD 4/80-200L, the later version with aspherical lens and UD-glass. In this case I can say it is at least as good as the primes if not better. The pictures are extremely sharp and brilliant. I had the older version without "L", it is good but the "L" is much better. I used it very often with my T90 about until ten years ago because it is great. I bought a mint one some weeks ago. I tested the 20-35L and must say it is very good indeed. And more useful than the older 24-35L. One of my favorite lenses even nowadays is the FD 1,2/85L which I am very proud to own.
