I have 3 F1s, two from 1972, and a F1 new from 1991 all with motor drives, and they are absolutely fantastic.

The light in the “had to pee” photo is by far my favourite one!

Love this camera

enjoy this format of presenting the roll and camera. love the family photos.

If the F1 is good enough for SpiderMan, it’s good enough for me.

I don’t shoot it often but I really enjoy shooting Ortho when doing candids on a bright day. Love this style of video, as well.

I enjoy working with my F-1n. Very versatile tool. Exceptional build quality which is not surprising since it was canon’s top of the line for 10 years. The number of attachments is rather large. The waste level view finder and auto winder are useful additions. My favorite lens is my 25mm f2.8. But it is just a tool to help you take pictures and my heart belongs to Hasselblad. Charlie

Boy I really can’t wait to get one of those F-1s yuuuuuuussss❤️

Thank you for sharing this video. I love the F-1, I had one for years I bought it new in 1992 for just under $1000.00. I do miss it, and my ole A-1.

Yes! This is actually my favorite kind of "reviews..." so often I've found that people reviewing cameras get so caught up in the build structure and the features that they forgot to really showcase WHAT the camera CAN DO. So I love this!!! Yes, please do more. We can find so many videos out there that talk about the camera itself, but seeing someone that we admire or look up to - USE the camera is THE BEST!. :)

Great video! Loved the good positive energy flowing through your words.

I have shot it twice on landscape in 120, even printed from it and it looked amazing

Lovely photos and a great camera. I must admit I never liked the metering system of the F1n which is why I sold it, I bought the Canon EF which is a stunning camera and for me handles better than the F1n. The metering system is fast and accurate and the shutter dial is huge and easy to turn with the camera to my eye. It's a real gem of a camera and you never see them in videos or being spoken about.

Screw technical...I love the 1.4 effects on your landscapes. Thanks for sharing, Matt. Cheers!

Really been killing it with the video formats lately, this would be a great series and fits well with the negative sleeving series imo

I´ve been looking for shooting some orthocromatic film lately but I wasn´t sure about it. Now this helped me to make up my mind. I will get a couple of rolls next time I visit my local photography store.

The production value is off the charts!

that third photo of the tree is lovely! nice video matt!

Loved the video and the casual camera review format! Would definitely like to see more videos like this

Love this camera! Nice shots, as always.

More videos like this, please!

that's right Matt! because most videos are people just stuck at a desk.. and not getting out there and doing what the product performs in real-life conditions. you know how we skateboarders do! go out and make something happen...

I think your approach creating content around using cameras and lens but focusing on the results is great. As you said, there must be dozens of reviews already out there. Showing your creativity to inspire others is more original and a lot more engaging!

Really enjoyed the setup of this video, hearing your thoughts behind each of the images and what you would’ve done differently. Got a roll of this loaded in my Pentax, looking forward to shooting it ✨

Hi Matt! Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this video/format! It's like a nice little journal entry where we get to watch you practice and experiment in every day life. Love it!

I really like this kind of video. Super informative and straight to the point. Great photos, too!

I like to see what you can do with the camera, that tells me much more than a review. I like to go to Flickr and look at what people do with different cameras, it becomes clear which ones facilitate creativity. Like Ken Rockwell says I want a camera that just gets out of the way. For this my three favourites are my Canon AE-1 Program, Canon Sure Shot Af35m II and Olympus OM-2.

I’ve only just gotten around to using this film. It was definitely interesting to use, and does feel more like a situational film instead of a general purpose option.

Buzzard's Roost. What a name!

In today’s digital age, it’s nice to see a video of film cameras and the creative results when using them. Thanks 😊

awesome photos and a great looking fam!

great video Matt. Love the Canon F1n, that shutter sound just perfect.

I really like the format - its casual but makes me interested in shooting the film.

I really enjoy this kind of videos and sharing, it tells so much more about the film, the camera and your practise that a general & basic review. I learn so much more... and it's like a small "journal de bord" (sorry I don't know how to say it in english!) and I really enjoy it ! Reviews, we can find it easily on internet, but these kind of videos you make, it's definitely more rare and interesting! Keep it up plz!

Really loved this video! I hope you and the family are doing well! Seems like a film worth a try!

Love it dude! You make these reviews so practical mixing depth, shallow DOF, landscapes, portraits, etc all in one. I’d normally have to watch 4 other videos to get the same perspective.

Love these style of videos, pal.

Nice one Matt! Thanks for putting it together. Will try some of this film but already think it won’t be my fav one. Could you comment on the grain? Great to see companies still developing new films

Back in the 35mm film days, two F1n bodies were pressed into service to burn many thousands rolls of 35mm film (100 rolls in a day was not un-common), majority were Fujichrome, Kodachrome, Ektachrome, and some color negative print film. Neither F1n bodies or FD lenses ever had a problem under the most difficult conditions. These are truly Reliable-Durable cameras designed and built to be used by working photographers to keep a roof over their head, food on their table and all the essentials of making a living by creating images. The real world durability, reliability and toughness of these Canon F1n bodies are not appreciated until the photographer presses these cameras into HARD daily service under the most difficult environmental conditions and continue to demand absolute best 35mm film image quality. Few if any 35mm film users today would subject a 35mm film camera to this degree of demanding image making today. The notion of shutter speed dial being not as "easy to turn" as the Nikon is IMO not relevant for the simple fact, the F1n is more than able to control exposure by Av or Tv mode. This relegates the shutter speed dial into a seldom used control. Adding the power winder or motor drive gains both Av and Tv mode. Once the film ISO has been set, Av mode allows the user to pick lens taking aperture with the camera selection the correct shutter speed. Or, Tv mode allows the user set the shutter speed with the camera selecting the correct lens taking aperture.

Lovely video Matt!

hearing your voice and accent in my new earphones makes me think of how your old podcasts went.

Yeah, definitely enjoyed this way more than any straight gear review. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed this one - digging this video style and hearing you talking about what you're thinking about while taking each photo. Just shot a roll of Rollei Ortho Plus so I gotta pick this one up and compare

Love the nature shots in this video! Already one of my favourite bw film stocks. I knew it would be good for landscapes, but I was surprised at how good it is for portraits.

Thanks for your assessment on the Ortho Plus. Much appreciated. Order placed.

Hey Matt, I really enjoyed the format of this video. It's great to step back and appreciate our own photos once in a while, rather than focus on the gear entirely.

Gotta try that film!

Chillicothe sounds so incredibly mid western it's too funny. Beautiful pictures.

Love my F-1, but haven't been a fan of Ilford Ortho. And mostly for the reasons you mention here. I've seen Ilford promote it as a landscape film, but I see it being better suited to landscapes. Nice video here, Matt.

this camera is a beast

Agree with the film/camera performance , recently i was speaking to one of my Oldschool photographer friends and speaking exactly about the importance between lens and film . the Body just adapts to your shooting needs . Hope you are doing Great we should have a "Quarantine Hair " contest XD

This isn't the Canon F-1n, it's the New F1, sometimes unofficially called the F-1N - capitalized, hence New F1 better. The Canon F1n was a very minor update to the original 1970s fully mechanical F1, this is the hybrid electric 1980s one.

I've been using my f1 but not happy woth the results thus far. i think i may have a bad lens, i'll test out another lens on it. Maybe use it in full program mode and Aperture priority.

5:55 yes please!

I´ve always wanted to try this camera. I currently use a Nikon F3 and constantly hear that using the F-1n is a similar experience. Have you had the chance to use both?

Just shot a roll of otho and tied some daylight long exposure it was super fun

If you have seen the film "The Lighthouse" they use orthochromatic film and have some very interesting reasons for why they chose that film stock for the movie! It is definitely worth watching a making of video :)

Him: These are just casual photos to test the film. Me: Yeah, I can't be this good

Great roll man! Btw the footage is looking great on the videos lately too. Is this still Canon footage, shot in C-Log then graded?

Thanks Matt for another great 👍 video. Could you do another couple of videos on pushing Ilford Black and White Film (particularly HP5) one or two stops. Maybe using Ilford Delta 3200 perhaps pushed a stop or two. I really love Ilford Film and I can develop my own images, but would really appreciate your insights.

B roll!! Great video

The Canon F-1 New are THE best analog 35mm ever made ! I have one that looks like it have lived a long and beaten life, the other looks like it have never been used :) Most of the Canon FDn lens range are very good or even exellent. I can highly recommend the FDn 20mm 2.8, the FDn 85mm 1.8 (though I very much want the better FDn 100mm 2.0) and the FDn 300mm 2.8 L. I also have the Canon FDn 24mm 2.8, FDn 28 2.0, 50mm 1.8 (which I do NOT recommend !), FDn 50mm 1.4 and FDn 100mm 4.0 Macro (but I will recommend fx the Tamron 90mm 2.5 Macro 52B Adaptall-2) By the way, I would have used a Pan F film or similar other brand ;)

Would really love to see how different colors render on this film. If you’re inclined to shoot more that is :)

if would be so cool seeing you shooting different cameras and film stocks, just for have a variety of try-outs, it would be super nice, yes pleaseeee

great video! But his is not the F1n. This is the New F1. The F1n is the revised original version of the F1. Some people like to call the New F1 the F1N (capital N) but that just causes confusion.

Master negotiation: blue hair, toy and a happy meal? You and Molly really put together a nice package for little Lloyd on that haircut. 😂 Great video as always, Matt. The gumminess in those greens was pretty surprising. Did you shoot it at the box speed 80? I don't remember if you said or not...

Loved this video!

Nice one!,Ilford is God!.

Canon f-1n F1NAMAZING.. 😂 😂 😂

Is the xp2 video comming up soon? Love that film. Aesome stuff man!

Channel fan. I have a fun photo challenge for you. Shoot a roll of film or a day with only landscape orientation.

Love ilford❤️

HI Matt, Which microphone and camera do you use for your livestream? It sounds and looks great! Any other equipment you would suggest. I definitely enjoy your stream. Keep up the great information. Just subscribed. Drew

great video

Goddamn this man is the cutest dad

So if this film has decreased red sensitivity does that mean it would be like shooting panchromatic film with a green filter on it?

How did the sonic hair turn out lol

Not sure I like it for photos of the trees and stuff- as you said it gets a bit 'muddled'. As for the portraits, I like them. I don't think I'll buy this film over HP5, FP4 or Tri-X.

too wholesome, i'm crying lol

Yooooo if you sell the f1 I’d be interested in buying it, been eyeing the f1 for a hot minute.

If you ever decide to part with the F1n let me know. I just might be interested!

I think this model is the New F-1, aka F-1N instead of F-1n. Anyway, always enjoy reviews of yours!!!

now i want blue hair like sonic

This is a Canon New F1 not a Canon F1n the canon F1n is the 1976 intermediate updated version .

Ya new video

I think that the Ortho Plus have a little problem. This film blocks red colour as possible, so portrets do not look good, because of lips - they look unnatural. But otherwise, the film is not bad.

This camera is NOT called F-1N !! ... it is New F-1 !! Canon F-1N came out 1976 !!

That’s Canon New F-1 not F-1n! The F-1n was New F-1’s predecessor

Okay, you seem like a person who's opinion I'd trust. Why an F-1 over, say, an A-1 or a T70?

Lets be honest here. Kids hold the big stick, they have 10 times more determination to get what they want... :) count that as a win.

Yo Matt! You interested in selling this body? :)

Not the F1n… 🫣

It's not the Canon F1n , it's the Canon F1N -AE. The Canon F1n is the fully mechanical F1 middle one of three F1 models.

1st

If you don’t want the camera I’ll take it off your hands
