Canon EF – A Classic 35mm SLR

March 7, 2020March 8, 2020Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Canon EF 35mm SLR film camera from 1977. This one includes a super nice (and fast) Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 S.S.C. lens.

This is one of our all-time favorite Canon cameras to use – the Canon EF 35mm SLR film camera. Also known as the ‘Black Beauty’ for its generous expanses of semi-gloss black paint. It’s a close cousin to the famous Canon F-1 (the original from 1971) with the exception of no removable prisms.

It’s available for purchase direct from our collection in our online shop at https://www.ccstudio2380.com

Thanks for stopping by! – Chris

Saturday Snaps – Canon F-1

March 7, 2020March 7, 2020Chris and Carol 3 Comments

Canon was the official 35mm camera of the 1984 Olympics held in Los Angeles.

Canon New F-1. A complete redesign of the original F-1 from 1971.

Beautiful camera.

A well used Canon F-1 on the left (just the right amount of brassing). The camera on the left has the eye-level finder and the one on the right has the AE finder.

And here’s another limited edition F-1 from 1978. Only about 2000 were made in this distinctive olive drab color with this super cool box, special strap and matching OD camera case. Also known as the Canon ODF-1. It appears that this version of the F-1 was only available for sale in Japan.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by! – Chris

Friday Fotos Lens Test – Canon FD 28mm f3.5 wide-angle lens

January 10, 2020January 10, 2020Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Testing my Canon FD 28mm f3.5 lens from 1972. Using a Fotodiox FD-FX adapter on my Fujifilm X-A10 mirrorless digital camera.

I typically enjoy using wide-angle lenses (24-28mm) on my 35mm SLRs so it’s natural for me to feel comfortable using them with my mirrorless digital camera. I believe I have good contrast without it being too contrasty. Ideally shooting at f16 on a sunny day will produce the best DOF so critical focussing is not necessary (but helpful).

It’s fun shooting with vintage glass on a modern digital camera. I highly recommend it if you haven’t given it a try.
