<p>And still working well. Photo taken with Olympus Pen and Canon FDn 24/1,4 at f:1,4. They also match together?</p><div></div>

<p>I'm sure. I sold my New F-1/AE several years but it was a terrific camera. A pox on the dude who stole my FTbn</p>

<p>I sold my New F-1 several years ago (around '94 or '95). It was the first pro camera I ever bought and only the second new camera.</p>

<p>I was never happy about selling it and always wanted to replace it and about 4 years back I did.</p>

<p>I love the F1. It is IMHO the last 'real' camera that Canon made.</p>

<p>I am a F-1N fan. I currently have 4 of them plus a range of Fd lenses. My local camera shop run by an old buddy of mine is currently trying to sell me an unused , mint one with an AE finder. Given the price, I am very tempted, but if the wife finds out ..........</p>

<p>I have five F1N -AE's too, two of them have the Motor Drive FN's permanently attached, I'm a retired photo - journalist and the Power Winder FN attached to to the camera depicted in the picture's lack of power rewind made the cameras fitted with it a little too slow to change films for many situations encountered by press photographers in critical situations.<br>

I made my living with Canon F1N's for more than twenty years working for a press agency, and if anyone ever made a better more robust and reliable manual focus SLR I have yet to hear about it.<br>

I'm pretty old now but I can still almost use my F1's in my sleep, and if anyone wants to take them from me they'll have to take them from my cold dead hands.</p>

<p>I have 2 Power winder FN's and one Motor Drive FN for mine. I keep looking at digital then I pick up a F-1n and the urge to change sort of disappears !</p>
