I recently purchased an ae power winder fn for my New f1. I am having difficulties getting it to function correctly. With all of the shutter buttons in the off position (the two on the winder and the camera's), the camera's meter is on. This can't be right because the batteries will become exhausted. The other issue is when I try to fire a shot with the winder on, the self timer starts to beep with the camera's shutter in the A position. I can find no reference to these concerns reading the manuals. The camera is in mint condition and the winder appears to be as new. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Dan

Lindy, just for info here the Flash coupler L which is also a meter light. Dose not use unavailable batteries I just got one of these for a young lady that I put a F-1 outfit together for and found the batteries at Radio Shack Origionally they were a 1.35V Merc. cell but it will very happily be powered by the modern 1.5 volt Alkanie version or size if you will of the same two batteries. I would have to look up the numbers but it can still be powered up. I like the L as it has this extra advantage of lighting up the meter and the F has a tendancy to scar the top of the prism it is also a real bitch to remove with gloves on or when you what to change finders.

Ernie, No you cannot use the later flash top prism to power your flash or propery mount on the F-1 camera either. First choice: Find Flash Coupler F, I think its the best of the 3 flash couplers Canon made for the F-1. It securely attaches in 2 places; Eyering and rewind knob. The other 2 are Flash Coupler L, which you cannot find a power source now, and Flash coupler D which originally came with the chrome nose F-1 outfit. Between these 2 I think L is better than D as it securely attaches to the rewind knob. Flash function works fine without batteries in Flash Coupler L. Lindy

Hi. Can anyone tell me if the sliding top section with the flash unit mount/bracket that is on the new F-1n body fit onto the older model version of the F-1? I am trying to locate one of these flash mounting brackets so I can slip it on to my older F-1. I know there is an optional flash coupler mount that can slide over the top left area of the older F-1 but I would rather use the newer version If the newer F-1 flash coupler mount will fit my older F-1 does anyone know where I can buy one at this time? I have tried EBAY and they don't have it. Thanks very much for your help. Ernie

Hello ! I know you guys here are real gurus about F1. Maybe you can help me... I've got a serious problem with my F1n. After shooting 2 or 3 shots I get extremely long mirror moves - I mean the mirror lifts very slowly, then stays up for a long time, finally the shutter rolls on and then the mirror slides down... Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my camera ?? Thanks

Rick: I suppose you have the old style F-1n from 1976 and not the new style F-1N from 1981. In that case you need a 1,3V mercury battery type PX625. The production of theese batteries is abandoned, but may still be available. Try this site: http://www.px625.com/px625/main.cgi. The F-1N takes a 6V alkaline battery that may be bought in photo shop.

The ink stamp code W1219 in your F-1N body means your's was built Dec 1982. Your camera just turned 21. Happy Birthday. Lindy
