Күн бұрын

In this episode we take out the Canon F-1 New putting it to the test of the streets of San Francisco. San Francisco street photography is usually fast paced, lots of tourist and with that comes the ability to g unnoticed. The F-1 though a fairly large camera made its mark and left me speechless after every frame! Also met up with a homie to talk more about photography! If you liked this video drop a thumbs up! Also comment down below for the 13,000 subscriber giveaway!! #MinoltaGang
Canon F-1 First Impressions:
- Heavy but solid camera
- Love that its mostly made out of metal
- Options for aperture and shutter priority is dope
- Takes the saucy canon FD Glass
- Removable prism is always a plus
Overall the Canon F-1 is an absolute beast! Professional as hell no wonder this thing has been credited to be one of the greatest SLR's EVER made. Pick yourself up on off eBay for $200 buy a couple of lenses while they're still pretty inexpensive and enjoy one of the greatest analog experiences ever!

The F1 New has a hybrid shutter, which means that it can be controlled electronically, or, without batteries, mechanically. That's the feature that makes the F1 new so unique.

Don't forget that the different focussing screens provide different metering modes! Average, partial and spot metering. They can be recognized by the first letter of the focussing screen (A = average, P = Partial and S = Spot Metering). With the power winder shutter priority shooting is also possible.

KingJvpes i loved slr’s, and honestly I hated rangefinders before the Leica. All of them I had ever used had broke on me before I could get the hang of it (4 Canon rangefinders, Yashica, Minolta, Kiev) . I went into Leica with expectations of hating it and selling it off, but realized that it was actually the perfect camera for me. Now I find it difficult to go back to slr.

I still have my Canon F-1 that I bought new as a teenager in 1976. It was my first professional camera and I used it to photograph a few weddings and for travel. At the time, I wanted the Nikon F2 but it was more expensive.

@KingJvpes 6 жыл бұрын

qnetx haha any reason why you liked the f2 over the f-1?!

@qnetx 6 жыл бұрын

Purely emotional. Many of the Nat Geo, Life Magazine, and Fashion photographers that I admired at the time seemed to be pictured with Nikons. I thought the Nikon F2 Photomic had a unique look that was aesthetically pleasing. Years later I used a Nikon F2 Photomic in the studio and I liked the way it felt in my hands, the viewfinder, and the sound and feel of the shutter. Today I have an F2 Photomic, F3 HP, F4, and an FM2 and my favorite between them is a toss up between the FM2 and the F3 HP. I like the build and feel of the F3 HP but I find the FM2 easier to shoot because the lit up LED meter on the FM2 is easier for me to see than the F3 meter and the FM2 is lighter to carry. The Canon F-1 is still much appreciated because it is a solid, easy to use camera and has sentimental value to me. I have the original version (not the N or New version).

The F-1 New shutter can continue to operate if the battery fails (15:30 in the video). Removing the battery will engage the mechanical shutter mechanism and shutter speeds from 1/2000 to 1/125 plus the flash sync 1/90 will work. The shutter button does loose it’s great feel in mechanical mode but limited mechanical backup is there if needed. The FD 50mm 1.4 is a great lens. I have used it on my Fuji X-Pro2 with a Novoflex adapter. It renders very nicely and is sharp even wide open on Fuji’s crop sized sensor. I think that I prefer the way it renders compared to Fuji’s own 50mm f2.0 (but the Fuji might be sharper). Thanks for the video.

I have both and the only thing better in the F1N is the brightness and exposure information in the finder. The F3 is so much better in the hands though because the Canon grip brings your fingers closer to the lens which causes rubbing with the fingers doing the focusing, very irritating.

I have the F1n and the F3, it depends on the shooter actually which one is better, but the F1n is more rugged you can use it as a weapon and i don't think you can damage it by doing that. I like the needle metering better too you know right away how much over or under expose your shots are going to be. The f3 is smooth in operation, lighter and better glass and more options.

Hey brother amazing video and stunning images. I am a new film shooter and I have a question though, in the daytime did you use AP/Auto mode and just let the shutter speed adjust itself while you were walking around? Or did you memorize a couple shutter speeds you needed for the sun and the shadows and then just switch it manually accordingly? Wondering which one makes better photos or if it matters. All the best man

I have also the Canon A1, FTb, and T90. All good pieces of engineering. The lenses are just splendid.This said, the F3 is still a legendary very good camera, I had good time with it during the 6 months I had it, but couldn't match up with the , F1 or the T90. Would have loved to keep it, but have enough cameras, with one unique set of Canon FD lenses, used by all my Canon camera.

The New F-1 does have a battery, but it can operate without a battery for most shutter speeds. Something like 1/30th through 1/1000th. I forget exactly. The catch is that it cannot operate with a DEAD battery. If your battery dies, you have to remove it to access the shutter speeds cited above. Love your work. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video... Do you know where your light leaks are coming from? You're missing the Motor Drive cover screws, there are three of them, but the one under the rewind knob is the culprit. Those screw covers are very difficult to find. Put some gaffers tape over the cassette hole and maybe over the the one on the opposite side. BTW, there is a storage spot on the motor drive to put all three covers when the motor drive is on. The big motor drive has to have all three openings, as it can rewind the film. The smaller motor drive only needs the take-up gear access. The small motor drive I believe is 8 double "A's" and the big one is 12 double "A's" and it is 5 fps. There was a third motor drive that requires an external NiCad battery pack and I believe that could pull the film at close to 9fps. That one went well with the bulk roll film back holding 250 frames. I currently have two F1's, both the New version and I have the AE Finder, Eye Level Finder, Waist Level Finder with 6x magnification, and the sports finder. Just sold one of my A1's, so now I have 3 of those. Try and FL Lens, which is the older versions of the FD's. They have stop down rings on the lens. Try an FL 55 1.2 . Cheers!

Great review of a classic camera. Some clarifications: The film advance lever is made out of metal. The "A" setting on the shutter speed works as intended with any finder, or none at all. However, with other finders, you have no indication through the finder as to what the camera settings are. Try it! Also, while you can remove the finder and use the focusing screen to compose your image, you may get light leakage in some circumstances. Canon made two finders for this type of usage scenario.

@Columba_Kos 2 жыл бұрын

@@eric.valleyoftheheroic I'm not sure I know what information you are looking for, here. However, I want to point out that the F1N and the New F1 are completely different cameras, so if you are interested in the F1N (released in 1976), none of the comments that I have made are relevant. The F1N has no automatic setting (A on the shutter speed dial). It is an update of the original F1, and is a very good choice of camera. It is entirely mechanical and operates at all shutter speeds without the battery installed. By contrast, the New F1 uses a hybrid electro-mechanical shutter, with electronic control at speeds of longer duration than 1/90s and manual control at durations of 1/90s and shorter.

@@Columba_Kos Thank you for that. Basically I am looking to get a canon film camera and I find the ability to remove the viewfinder and see the screen below to shoot at the waist very appealing.

Hope that clarifies my confusion and what I’m looking for.

I really love this heavy metal beast of a camera. Especially in rain, snow or cold weather. I'm not sure if the film advance lever is actually plastic - if it's plastic, it is massive plastic ;-). 15:24 The New F-1 does have a kind of hybrid shutter: Shutter speeds from 1/2000 to 1/90 sec and B are mechanically governed. So they work without battery also. 16:07 As long as the AE Motor Drive FN is NOT installed, please make sure to put in the Rewind Coupler Cover. Without it, there will be a hole left in the bottom plate that can be seen on the right, and some light might get into the film chamber.

Or was that applied to Canon F-1n, I couldn't tell... Anyway, I would urge you to try a third legendary camera camera from that time and class with removable viewfinder, the Pentax LX. If you have the chance to find it and money of course...

What is the film scanner you used in your video? Also I compare the canon A1 to canon's 5d.

I've had an FTb, AE-1, and A-1 for many years and just picked up F-1 New a few weeks ago. My old FD breech lock lenses work just fine on the F-1, but my nFD lenses don't seem to operate at all. I can turn the aperture ring on the lens, but the diaphragm blades never leave the full open position. The same nFD lenses work just fine on my Sony A7R2 with a dumb adapter, so I must be doing something wrong when using the F-1 with these lenses. Any ideas?

I've got Canon AE-1 program , Contax 159MM and Canon F1 new. The AE1 and Contax are lighter and do 95% of what the F1 does. If you want lightweight street - go AE1 ; if you need the extra features go F1 but you'll defo pay for it with the weight difference. I agree about Canon being compelling for accessories - you can get just about anything for it cheap and most of the lenses and flashes are interchangeable between AE1 and F1. that light seal issue is easily fixed - you can buy kits on eBay to renew them. I've done that on AE1 program.
