I’ve been building my Canon film SLR collection. My latest acquisition, all the way from Japan and all the way from 1981, is a New F1. And it’s probably the best of the lot.
(When I say New F1, it is new to me, and it’s an F1. But it’s also a New F1, as opposed to an F1, or an F1n AKA the F1 later model. Canon… sort out your naming conventions…)
Some of my stereographic pictures are on display in The Worcester Arts Workshop cafe.
Here’s a camera the interweb hasn’t heard about. It’s not listed in the Canon camera museum. Perhaps it’s not even a real Canon. (Update: It isn’t. See below.)
It’s a point and shoot zoom labelled ‘Canon Lucky Z-85’. It’s even got a ‘Lucky’ branded case.

Continue reading “Canon 35mm film SLRs compared”I wrote about my Canon SLR collection recently, mentioning that I’d like a T50.
Now, thanks to a camera swap with the very excellent Frank Lehnen, I’ve got one. (Frank got a not-very-compact Ricoh zoom compact. A nice camera… but I think I got the best end of the swap. Hope Frank doesn’t mind.)
