This is the first time I’ve seen a Canon camera box (any model) with a tax-free sticker. Apparently, it was placed by Canon. These tax-free cameras were not sold in U.S. military exchange stores in Japan. They were for sale at duty-free shops scattered around the country. So, no <E.P> markings on the camera.
Here is one of my Canon F-1s with an <E.P> mark. It’s an early model from August 1971.
Early original Canon F-1 with the <E.P> mark.The mark is affixed to the leatherette on the lower right of the film back.
The <E.P> mark indicates that the item was an exempt purchase at a U.S. military exchange store overseas, mainly in Japan. It’s not to be confused with Canon cameras and lenses that are marked ‘U.S. Navy’.

This limited-edition olive-drab-painted camera was made by Canon in early 1978 and was sold only in Japan. It was not made for any military organization.

The Canon 30D is an 8.2MP APS-C crop sensor camera released in 2006. The T90 is a sophisticated 35mm SLR from 1986. The EOS 5D Mark II was released in 2008. It features a full-frame 21.1MP sensor.
As always, my camera shop, CC Design Studios, is at http://www.ccstudio2380.com. I feature an interesting mix of mostly Canon gear.
I enjoy collecting cameras with their original boxes. For me, it’s a bit like Christmas whenever I get to open a previously unused camera from decades ago.Three interesting cameras from Canon.A gem. Only opened to take pictures of it. It’s for sale in my shop now.

*I hated to remove this tree, but it’s considered invasive and has outgrown its location. Commonly known as a Bradford pear or Callery pear. I planted a native bald cypress a few years ago near this location.

One of two paper mills in Fernandina Beach. This one is relatively quiet at the time of the image. Real image with my Canon EOS R and Canon RF 70-200mm f4L IS USM lens at 200mm.This is what it smells like when the process is in full swing. There’s just something nasty about the process. “Enhanced”.Mill number two on a normal day. Real image.What they tell us is really being produced – happy little (stinky) clouds of water vapor. Enhanced.
Amelia Island is mostly quite beautiful, except for these two mills.
