Want to Buy WTB: Canon F1 Body

[3 Olives]

I want to buy a Canon F1 Body in working condition. Cosmetics are not a concern. I am on vacation so my internet browsing will be sporadic. However, I will get back to you.
Thank.

Have you concerned KEH?

You need to be more specific - original F-1/F-1n... or newer F-1N? (The newer one is the model with the hot shoe on the prism, the older ones don't have a hot shoe built in.)

I considered KEH as I have only had good experiences with them. I figured I'd give it a shot here first. I found an F1 through an APUG member, so barring the unexpected, this is finished.

I belive only the original is simply called the F1.

I may have what you're looking for.
I'm running a test roll through it now.

Not only that but the first 2 have mechanical shutter and the last F1 has electronic ..

F1-N hybrid shutter

Not strictly true Dennis the new F1 shutter is a part electronic, part mechanical hybrid one that even without batteries will fully operate at all speeds from 1/125 up, so if the the battery fails you just remove it, and use a separate meter, only the slow speeds are electronically controlled..

This is done. Thanks.
