Finally!

Chris and Carol

After more than a decade of searching, I found a boxed set.

Canon’s only non-black F-1. This very special, limited-edition set was made only for the Japanese domestic market in 1978, and around 3,000 were produced (likely fewer). How many survive today in mint new condition?
Flawless surfaces, just as it left the factory.
Canon OD F-1.
This one was made in February 1978.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris
