Canon F-1(n) Introduced in 1971. Canon's first serious attempt to bring out a top-of-the-line SLR system camera catered for professional photographers/serious amateurs around the globe during the early seventies. Along with its birth, a whole new series of breech-lock Canon mount lenses (followed by another generation of "new" FD mount) which replaced the older FL mount optic were launched together with the huge & awesome system accessories which centered around the original Canon F1. I am trying my best to compile information relating to the F1 as accurate and detailed as possible as there are still many faithful users of this rugged Canon workhorse camera. The backbone concept of the F1 has a very important effect which stretched to two generations to the Canon New F1 which was launched in 1981. This Canon F-1 site is made out of 282 files (pdfs, gif, jpeg & htmls, slightly over 10MB size) and took a while to construct. It is divided into several areas, ranging from:

Handling such a camera with its dedicated system accessories may require some technical know-how, thus, this important area will be supplemented with Acrobat Pdf.files for you to download for reference; it is comprehensive enough to act as a instruction manual as well, containing details about the operation and handling of the Canon F-1.
