Canon F1

[ron_ahrens]

<p><strong>Just aquired a nice Canon F1 apart from having some rather ugly dents in the eye-level prism veiwfinder, any idea where i might pick up a decent replacement. I live in the UK. </strong></p>

<p>It will probably cost less to just buy a non-working F-1 which has a finder in good condition than to buy the finder by itself. You can look at eBay & KEH first.</p>

<p>If the damage to your viewfinder is merely cosmetic, you could get a Speed Finder which would give you added functionality.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advise guy's.</p>

I'm in a similar position, having bought an F1N with a plain finder and I'd like the AE version. Try looking at Ffordes - they

have FD gear.

[ron_ahrens]

<p>Thanks Roy, i'll have a look.</p>

<p>Finally got one on UK Ebay for a reasonable price.</p>

<p>I picked up most of the accessory finders for my F-1's and F-1N's, and some of them cost a small fortune.</p>

<p>It's good you found an AE finder for a reasonable price, Ron. The F-1 in any of its incarnations is one helluva camera.</p>

<p>My first two old F-1s looked like somebody had used them for hockey pucks when I bought them. I didn't care, though. All I cared about was that they worked. And work they did. Didn't miss a lick a single time for all the years I owned them.</p>

<p>So I guess what I'm saying is, well, I'm glad you found a replacement, but it doesn't really matter if they've got dings and dents in 'em. Gives 'em character, ya ask me.</p>

<p>I've been lucky to use many cameras over the years but my all time favourite has to be the F1N.<br>

I regret selling mine and might well buy another one soon!.<br>

Best of luck with the new camera!.<br>
