Pros:Solid, professional machine, fully mechanical
Cons:Grip (but it is only the result of the grip habit of modern digital cameras)
Opinion:Speaking of film photography vs. digital photography, a friend of mine made a comparison that I think is very apt: it's like when, after a week spent in your small car in the middle of traffic on your way to work, on Sunday you take your vintage car and enjoy the simple driving of it on scenic roads. And how can you blame him? Also because here we are in front of one of those sports cars that give you strong shivers to drive them since at the time of its release it was the flagship of the Canon house. Beautiful in its glossy black finish (even if mine bears some signs of "lived-in") Very solid and resistant, if you want to invest money and time to beat the web in research, there is an almost infinite range of optics and accessories. Completely mechanical, the only accessory necessary to make it work the exposure meter battery. Used to digital cameras and their perfect grip, the grip is a bit uncomfortable, but precisely because I am used to my trusty 1DX and 5D Mark III. For work I obviously use digital, but as soon as I can I gladly load a roll of film and I go to enjoy the pleasure of shooting with this wonder.
Pros:Very elegant line, absolute robustness, endless optics of great quality, precision and ease of use.
Cons:After ten years of use, the Teflon wheel of the feed lever was 'slightly' worn...
Opinion:An extremely elegant, very robust camera, of great technological depth, on the other hand it was the antagonist of the Nikon F2 with which it shared a plateau of very large optics. Carried around for several years throughout Italy, in the snow, under the August sun, in winter deluges and tossed around in trekking backpacks. After all these adventures, at the control, the timing was almost perfect, never had a problem with the optics. Often used with the engine (in those days it was an experience to tell the grandchildren), the mechanics could tell of all the photos taken but I think that now it would be able to take the roads again with me and start over. For now, it is enthroned in a display case in my living room, like a beautiful work of art.
Pros:Absolutely reliable machine, very robust body, excellent and bright viewfinder, cushioned shot, crazy materials
Cons:Nobody
Opinion:Purchased in 2021 for my great passion for analog photography. Shooting mainly in medium format. Pentax 645, Pentax 67, Hasselblad 500cm. I was looking for a 35mm machine. Where everyone else had let me down, this is really another planet. The materials are crazy it seems to have been painted a matte gunmetal black. I look at it sometimes and I'm there to aim for the perfection of the rings, of the absurd materials. If for those like me who have gone back in time and want to invest in an eternal 35mm take one in good condition if you can. It's absolutely exciting just to hold in your hand. Almost a waste to use it. Mine is kept so well that I'm thinking of taking a forklift and keeping this one like that. For exhibition. Canon has made a miracle of engineering beauty and solidity. The viewfinder is very bright it seems there is a farò inside. Looking inside it seems to be brighter than the same scene you are looking at. To have... absolutely exciting
Pros:Extremely serious and intelligent modular design that allows to intervene with ease on the faults, however very rare. Excellent materials and proof of false manoeuvres, screws, threads that are hardly spanned and in short, done well! . Possibility of double and over shows in perfect alignment, field framed in the viewfinder 100%, possibility of framing with cockpit etc. and finally a flood of accessories.
Cons:Weight, though...... A certain tendency to dirty the retarder of slow times, 1 "-1 \ \ 2" Currently you have to intervene (little thing) on the power of the light meter having changed the voltage of the current batteries (without mercury) but this is the fault of the batteries. At Mercury was 1.35 v now 1.5.
Opinion:I own a body from 1973, it works well, it never made me trouble. If you went to the Amazon, and you had it, you should take it as the only choice!!! Maximum reliability with high temperatures and humidity levels, maximum resistance to falls and ill-treatment. I don't think she owns plastic parts. If the pictures will not be beautiful pictures, believe me, it will not be the fault of the CANON F1 OLD, it will be our fault.
Pros:Robust, semi-spot metering, absolute reliability, interchangeable pentaprism, the vastness of accessories, excellent market tightness.
Cons:Nobody
Opinion:Had as a second camera body, in parallel with the A-1 my first reflex, I can not fault it as it had become my favorite. Kept me company for many years, although it was purchased already used given the high prices, until a fall of several meters has put ko.rn Nostalgia aside, it was a great and valid machine.
