Canon New F-1 and light seals

[zanxion72]

I know it may be a stupid question. Does the Canon New F-1 have light seals? I thought it did not, but I am being offered with one stated as having new light seals.

As most japanese 35mm cameras, there are light seals in it, and they are around the film cover. That is, when you open the camera to change film, there should be foam around the juncture between the film door and the camera. Nothing too difficult to repair yourself, really.

The New F-1 is a fantastic camera, the best 35mm SLR i have owned or used (*), i own two, and want to own three. So if the price is right, go for it, you will love it !!!

(*) Compared to:
Nikon F, F2AS, F3, FE, FE2, FG
Nikkormat FT2
Canon EOS 650, EOS 5, A-1, AE-1, FTb, EF, "old" F-1
Olympus OM-1, OM-2

I have four Canon New F1's and I can assure you they all have light seals.
