Canon New F-1 with a Canon U.S. Navy NFD 100mm f2.8 fixed focus and aperture lens. The lens was designed by Canon for use by the Navy as a point-and-shoot option for quick shots from aircraft and from ships’ bridges. Sailor Proof.

To use aperture priority on a New F-1, set the shutter speed to ‘A’ and release the stop-down slide (the chrome thingy with the red line to the left of the lens). The AE Finder will then set the exposure for the shutter speed it selects.
Canon calls it ‘Stopped Down AE.
The camera was made in December 1982, and the lens in September 1987.
