Sometimes using a common mis-spelling of a camera brand or model number can also lead you to sellers that don't fully appreciate the value of the item. Rare, but does occasionally work.

I love my F-1. When buying film cameras, I usually look for listings where it’s “untested”. I took a chance on an F-1n and paid $74 for it. Everything works, meter, light seals in incredible condition. Just wanted to throw that tip out there.

What a beauty. I could never afford the F1 back in the day. I still have an A1 I bought with my paper route money in grade 5. Works like a charm.

I usually get my vintage gear from online auctions like Catawiki. Sometimes people only list the body and forget that the lens also has value. I once paid 11 euro including shipping for worthless body with a 350 euro lens.

My grandfather, Andrzej Strumiłło, when he worked as the Director of the Graphic Presentation Unit at the UN secretariat and lived in New York at that time. He was taking photos with his Canon F-1 for his album "Manhattan" using mainly Kodak Tri-X and Ilford wich takes less space on roll. And for my father he bought a Canon A-1 which I use nfd lenses in my Fuji to this day :)

Did they really call that flash « 420 EZ »? Must have been the teenage intern in charge that day lol

I bought a Mamiya 6 for an extremely good price on Ebay once, and it was clear the seller didn't do his research on how to price it. But then he must have realized, because he cancelled the sale, and I had to keep searching--for another year!

The waist level viewfinder attachment make this an absolute thrill to use for travel and street photography. Nice find! I got mine for $300 USD and it has been an incredible tank…which is unfortunately why I still take my AE-1 out with me mostly.

Your secret was exactly what I was thinking :D some people just don't know what they're selling. One needs more patience though...

When you've already increased the price of every cool niche camera individually, so you decided to hike the prices for all cameras in one go.

How dated it looks but it's a classic from the 1970's. And still works and all the accessories added for it from that time. I say it to you as I say many times to myself. The Canon is the Rolls-Royce of cameras. Thanks for showing this thumbs up.

First second I saw that flash adapter, instantly knew you had an old F-1

Nice F-1 body. If you want to check the aperture function without an adapter you can unlock the chrome-breechlock ring. Press the small lever in the 12-o-clock position or install the rear lens cap without turning it tight. The breechlock-ring will move a bit and you can take the rear cap away when the ring is unlocked. Then turn the ring counter-clockwise to its rest. The aperture will shut down, when you move the aperture lever.
The F-1 was the best professional camera and in my opinion better than the Nikon F.

Got yourself a truly brilliant camera. The Canon F1 shutter and film transport will last a lifetime.

I am a recently retired camera repairman ( over 40 years ) . Years back I did a repair service on a minty F1 with a 50 1.2 lens. The customer never came back to pay and pick up his camera. I now am the owner of this camera and still shoot with it today !

I have had a Canon F1 with the 50mm f1.8 and the 28mm f2.8 lens and the 135mm f3.5 lens since the 1970s. What a beautiful and great camera. One of the best purchases I ever made. It has never failed me. Congratulations on a great ebay find.

Hey! I recently found a Canon New F1 with a Canon FD 50mm f1.2! for just 200€!
I was so happy to be able to purchase it! *I forgot, I also got the Power Winder FN, Waist Level Finder and a Data Back!*
