Could someone please give me a novice some insite into the the differences in the meter sensitivity areas of the various focusing screens (explain in laymans terms what i can expect the differences to be in average metering vs partial metering vs spot metering) the main use of my f-1n is to shoot sports photos with 400 f2.8 and 300 f2.8 and 135 f2 lens at events trying to avoid using flash. Fuji 800 or 1600 pushed to 3200 when needed to catch enough light to freeze motion. explanitions and advice welcome Thanks Dennis

Hello, F-1 and F-1n mechanical screens are not interchangable with F-1N electronic screens or visa~versa. You will find mechanical F-1 screens are easy to locate on ebay for less than $20 for the 2 common versions: A and E. Why are A and E so common? Because the original 1971 issue F-1 was outfitted with A and the E screen came with the 1976 issue F-1n. One a related note: The 1981 electronic issue F-1N standard finder model came wirh AE sceeen and 1981 electronic issue F-1N with AE finder came with with PE screen.

I have an old F-1 (n) and a damaged focusing screen. Do the New F-1 screens work?

Hi Grant, I have not handled the 76 Olympics issue personally but have followed several on ebay over the years. I am curious about the Montreal Logo, Is it just painted on or is it embossed into the brass too. I picked up briefly an in the box 84 LA F-1N issue and was surprised the shoulder logo was only painted on. The last Montreal I saw sell sold for $460 with the limited olympics box too. It was a solid 9 condition wise and had a 6 month function warantee too. Usually the sellers of these are out of Canada, the cameras' homemarket. Thanks, Lindy

I have a 1976 Morntreal Olympic Edition F1 1.4, as well as a 1972 black body FtB. Any idea as to what the value on these would be, obciously as collector items? I still love them both for straight manual photography. Both are in very good condition. Thankyou.

Hello Leonard! I have gotten much pleasure and knowledge from your fantastic sites!!!! 200% A+++++!! Because of you providing this forum I located my mint green bodied 1978 issue F-1, the rare Y focusing screen among many other items for my system and collection. I considered several times answereing the numerous questions posed the last 2 months when the moderator here was silent. The problem for me is when I post my email addy I get SPAMMED heavily for days even. I wish I could answer peoples' questions here without the world knowing my email. Leonard, Thanks Again For All You Do For Us, Canon's long ago forgotten Canon FD System users. Thank you So Much!!! Lindy in Colorado USA

Mark, it is alright. I think what Neil referred is the PIM site as a whole which I think I would like to make use of this oppurtunity to address the issue here at this MB as well. Firstly, everyone MUST understand this FACT - the PIM site is just a hobbyist website. Frankly, since day one when the site went Live - there was no one else EXCEPT me involving with the development works in this website. After all these years (1.6GB of folder size and closing in to 12 million hits per month of web traffic), I think I should also start to spare a little time on other personal matters as well (such as business aspect on all the reat of other companies of mine). What I have done so far is just to provide a platform to many other MF classic SLRs users to exchange views and problems faced. Actually, the development works have never stopped and each day I will try to spare an hour or two writing a few pages relating to photography. Unfortunately, some of the content may not be relating directly to Canon gears. For an instance, I am working on the Nion F4 right now after finished the the three sites on Nikon FM3A, Minolta X-700 and Maxxum 7000 (each of this sites took around a month or two to finish one - you can ay unproductive or whatever, but it has never been easy). After this, probably I will commence works on the long pending Canon's EOS-1 series project which may get me stuck for another 3-4 months or so (one reason why I have to began the F4 first because it is direct comparing Pro model in its class). I couldn't possibly be handling so many things at one go as you know it can be very difficult to prepapre a "good" site that satisfy my self-set requirments (but very easy to read and browse with few clicks). Anyway, as there are plenty of other websites on the Net for you to go to if you have a problem or wishes to interact with co-users of your equipment of choice. As relation to the New F-1, recently a surfer provides me a link to the New F-1 LE model which I have never heard of, I have tried to mail the gentlemen who auctioned his stuff at Ebay but he has not responsed to my mails. Well, I couldn't possibly be using other's images without prior approval and thus there was nothing new for the addons in this new F-1 website. Sorry for the disappointment.
