I'm 34, I cupped my first camera, a Kodak 126, at the age of nine,

since then Iv'e owned various cameras, (Nikon F, Nikon 801s, Pentax

LX, MX, MZ5) and now I own a Canon F1N AE. For what its worth The

Canon F1N AE wins by a mile, the Pentax LX a close second. There are

pros and cons in both camps Auto focus v manual, however, nothing

beats using a quality modular camera like the canon F1N AE, or indeed

the Pentax LX or Nikon F, F2, F3 series. I would keep the Canon F1

and add a few lenses, but then again I like old cameras. The choice

is yours my freind. one question however, do you like the F1, does it

suite your photography and would your heart ache if you got rid of it

(oops that a few questions),

Rarity is often a relative thing: in the United Kingdom such lenses

are indeed quite rare, as you can imagine, in the United States, I

suspect not. One thing is for sure, they are excellent work tools no

matter where you may reside.

May I apologise if this question has been asked before: I'm after a portrait lens for my F1N AE, I already own the following Canon lenses:28mm 2.8, 35mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4, 50mm 1.8, 135mm 3.5 and 300mm 5.6. I'm looking for a Canon 85mm, and would welcome views/reviews etc on Canon 85mm lenses and/or any other recomendations for portrait lenses.
