Just bought a Canon "New F-1" (latest version) body and looking for some accessories to go with it. I already have some FD lenses, so I'm set in that department. I'd really like to get a fitted case and an AE finder for it though. Maybe an instruction manual and rubber eyecup too. I know there were a load of accessories released for this camera, so there's probably some others I'd want. If you have anything, let me know!

Butkus' site will probably have the manual for a modest donation.

Great camera. I have 4 of them and their joy is that you can change them to do exactly what you need via the accessories, if you can find them!

Tiggycat, are any of those 4 available for sale? Turns out I had to return my F1 to the seller because the mirror + shutter was not working right. So I'm back on the hunt for a New F1 again.

If you have the plain finder, don't worry about the AE finder. The plain finder is smaller and more beautiful. You can still do aperture-priority AE with the plain finder, the only difference is that you won't see the shutter speed. But the point of AE is not having to worry about camera settings!

The instruction manual you can download online at "Butkus"'s website.

Want to have a good accesory? More FD lenses!

Thanks for the info, flavio. Guess I really don't need the AE finder then. Already purchased a loose manual though, and I have plenty of FD glass (already own an A-1 and a couple of AE-1's. Just need the F1 now!
