Hi, Fellow F-1 users. Does anyone know why Canon changed the Finnish on the New F-1 Camera? It doesn’t appear to be very durable. Thanks. Mike

Hello to all F1 lovers. I am a very recent New F-1 user. May I add a corrective lens to the eyepiece ring? Thanks very much!

Matthais, I once owned the 50-300mm L zoom. It was so huge! I replaced it with a mint in the box 50mm-300mm f4.5 Nikon zoom which I found lighter and better balanced and optically better too. I have a Canon N mount converter so it allows me to use Nikon glass too. Personally I would say your 300mm f2.8 L has this focal length covered for you. That is unless you want 1 of everything. Yes the 20-35 zoom does not rank up with the primes. Handy yes, but primes are typically superior to zooms. Thats great you own the EOS 200mm f1.8L. The FD version is quite rare. As people move towards autofocus and digital we will be able to fill out lens systems. Lucky Us! Lindy

Hi Lindy, I also look for a FD1,8/200 and an 2,8/14L but even more I look for a 3,5/50-300L. I never saw one at ebay for instance. A few weeks ago I bought a FD 20-35L for 650 Euro which is about 690 US$ in austria in mint condition. I heard that this is a great lens but at photodo they rate it only 3.3 which is not more than average. I own the EF version of the 1,8/200L and it is really great! Only a little heavy (3kg). A few month ago I also bought a mint FD 2,8/300L of which I was dreaming long time for 1500 Euro.

I hear you Raid! I am going to reconsider my bias towards the T-90. TTL flash would be a bonus as would the lighter weight. My eyes are opened, Thank You! Lindy

A mint FD 14mm f2.8L is on my want list too so global universe, please keep me in mind??? The FD 200mm f1.8 shows up occasionally at KEH for $3,300 in EX and $2,500 in BARBAIN grade. Tough item, as Canon made far more in EOS mount than FD mount. KEH has a EX condition FD 20-35L right now I think $700. Good Luck! Lindy

I am a Canon FD user, and have been very happy with my Canon F1N's and T90's. I used to depend primarily on the F1 while I had the T90 as a backup camera. Over the years, I discocered how much better flash photos were possible with the T90/300TL combination comared to using the F1 for flash photography. Effectively, the TL300 "killed" my F1's.

i have had my f1 since 1979. this marvelous wonder has never let me down. i've got multipal fd lens, also fantastic. us f1 users are loyal to canon as these fine specimans were one of the best cameras ever developed"in its day". my f1 still takes great pictures, only in the last year has my f1 failed. when i take flash photos it will not flash at 1/60. does anyone know who can repair this? it flashes at 1/125,1/250,1/500,1/1000. if canon made a new camera to accept fd lens i would not hesitate to buy one. come on canon make us a new 2003 f1.
