Sorry everybody I have been working nights and not paying attention to the board as I should so here are a bunch of answers for everyone Mark W. Moderator

# Kenney & Jomar, The cord you see in the manual for the Nicad powering of the F-1N is not something that goes into the battery cover but is in fact a whole new batterycover/battery replacement unit preminantly attached to the power cord.
# Kenney, The bright series of F-1N are fully designe to work with the intrnal metering of the camera and no compensation is needed.
# Paul, The Case you have or are interested in is the stock case for the 50mm f1.8 and 50mm f1.4 nFD lenses the ones with the chrome button lock.
# Josh, The camera you arew looking at is a dedicated high speed 9fps camera that was developed just for the Olympics and very very few of them were made. It uses if I remember correctly a pellicle mirror which does not move but allows a protion of the light to pase directly through it to the film plane. The high price is reflective of it's high collector value.
# Jakub, I'm not sure if there is one on Christians site as this has come up a number of time in the past and I can't check his site right now as it is currently down. but it is at: http://www.canonfd.com/choose.htm he has most repair manuals and Instruction books for the Canon Fd line.
# Ralph, The output voltage of the FN/MA charger is very difficult to measure as it's circuitry only puts out voltage under load so it has to be charging to have anything to read. the Battery pak it charges is a 12 cell 1.2V per cell pack so it has to be more then 14.4 volts and is most likely around 16 volts out put when working correctly.
# Nanto, You will need the AE winder FN to power the shutter priority and the Viewfinder AE to see the aperture scale in the viewfinder for Aperture priority. As to which option you chose the AE winder FN will be easier to find then the AE finder and will be most likely more expensive then the winder.

This is a great website and a very useful forum. I am owning a New F-1 and a couple of lenses for years. Recently I am starting to engage in close up photography. I am looking at buying a close-up flash kit, since the camera has no TTL, I think it doesn't really matter on taking in a third party brand like the Sunpak into my buying consideration. Question is, I am also intend to get a close focus FDn 200mm f/4 in addition to the 50mm macro FDn. Has anyone has similar combination and wish to find out whether it is advisable to go on and how assuring in getting pleasant results. Next, my current system has no AE nor any winder. So, I think I should get a n AE finder since aperture priority is more useful than shutter priority at close-up photography (I supposed it is logical); but comparing an AE finder costs alomost the same with a used power winder, which in your opinion should be the more logical choice ? I am almost making my mind up but still wish to seek for second opnion. Thanks for the greatness in this site (as well as the maintainer of this board), at least, I know I am not alone now.

Kenny: 1. The F-1N manual does not say anything about need of exposure compensation while using brighter screens. 2. According to the manual for the "AE motor drive FN" it is possible to feed both the motordrive and the camera if you have the Ni-Cd Pack FN and the Battery Cord C-FN. A picture in the manual shows a cord connecting the battery pack and a socket located on the battery cover on the camera. I have seen many F-1Ns but never one with a socket on the battery cover. The cover wit socket shown in the manual is probably a part of the Battery Cord C-FN.

Two questions for the gurus: 1. does the laser-matte screens which are supposedly brighter needs exposure compensation or auto TTL compensated ? 2. I have heard the earlier version of the New F-1 does not has a provision for battery cord to power the camera from the motor drive, is it true ? If I am wrong, how to locate one of those cable and how to use it ? I really like to buy a used Canon F-1 to replace my aging AE-1. Thanks in advance.
