    I bought my 38 year old Canon F1 with a titanium focal plane shutter at the NKP BX in Apr. 1971. I carried it all through SEA (SVN, Cambodia, Laos) and took a significant number of my pics. as a combat pilot with it.

    I love everything about the Canon F-1, from it's metal body to it's ability to stand up to anything! They really don't make them like this now-a-days, it's hard to get a better bang for your buck, and it's well worth it!

    After some twenty years of service I had my Canon F-1 factory-refurbished. I will continue to use it for time-lapse and other photo use. I would like to acquire flash equipment for it. Contact me with price, description, etc at jev@bscn.com

    There's not too many things in life that can go for 30 years without needing repairs...my Canon F-1 is one of them.
    I've used this camera everywhere from glaciers in Alaska to architecture in New Mexico and it hasn't failed me yet.
