Sold Sale pending - Canon F-1n (second version, all mechanical, NOT the F-1N/New F-1

[ronwhit]

Camera is in EX/EX+ condition cosmetically. Everything works as it should mechanically with the exception of the mirror not always returning to the down position. With a slight movement of the film advance lever, the mirror will return. This happens about ½ the time, especially at slower shutter speeds. I recently film tested the camera and the exposures look to be correct. The mirror foam is good. (There is no door foam on this model.) MLU, self timer, and DOF preview are all functional. Shutter speeds sound correct, and the film testing seems to confirm this. The original instruction manual is included. Note that in the one picture there is a yellow pencil pointing to a small piece of black photo tape covering the servo EE coupling socket. The small plastic frame around this socket is missing and the tape is there to keep dust out.

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the exposure meter as I tend to just go with the “sunny 16” rule or else use my hand-held meter.

Price is $145.00, plus shipping. Were it not for the mirror issue, I would likely ask twice that. Since a CLA may be needed in the future, I am allowing for that in the price. I accept paypal, a USPS money order, or a certified check.
