What Magnifier for Canon F-1New

[Ralphieboy]

Seems I can't locate the proper model. Can any of you fine folks help out? Thanks, I appreciate your help.

I have an AE finder. What I need is the magnifier that attaches to the eyepiece. It's quite helpful in macro/closeup work. Thanks for the link however.

What you are looking for is the Canon Magnifier R + S Adapter. It was made for the F1 and F1n but may fit the F1N as well as the A series Canons. If you are doing serious macro work the Waist-Levei Finder FN-6X is the best

I assume you need that for New F-1 ?? The last third model? Or is it F-1n, the second model (essentially same as the first) ?

THIS GUIDE to F1 should clear this up.

Magnifier R with adapter R (screw in, not slide on as for adapter S that goes with A series and other Canons)

I'll add, assuming this is about the New F1, last model, that Finder FN-6X is a must (or big time help) for macro work. I do not like magnifier so much, only 2.5 X magnification, not the same at all (or even remotely similar) as the Finder FN-6X, which stands for 6 times up.

Just for kicks, HERE is an Canon FD resource site (and for a lot more when you dig into main section).

Magnifier R with R adapter / just for reference as listing is not anywhere around KY

Make sure you get complete set, often you will find bits and pieces. Magnifier R was sold alone, adapter R also (as was S). Sometimes you will see adapter flip up frame but nothing else on it (just plain metal section), and there are pieces that allow the whole thing to actually mount on the eye piece.
