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.

More Canon stuff!

Back when I had a much larger collection of Canon Olympic stuff.

I had acquired this photographer’s vest for the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. This vest was unused and still in its original sealed plastic bag.

I also acquired these cool pins to go with the vest.

Another one of those dream accessories that I finally got my hands on but let’s face it, very few people ever used these things outside of professional photographers.

This one was still new in its original box as delivered from the factory.

A thing of beauty and quite a bit of design went into this monster.

There’s a ton of Canon Olympic collectibles out there from simple lens caps to camera straps and bags. There are three Canon 35mm SLRs with Canon Olympic logos – 1976 Montreal, 1980 Lake Placid and 1984 Los Angeles.

Some new items have just been listed in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com

Canon EOS nylon camera strap from the 1980s. New, never used. Super nice.

A must have original (not a copy) Canon Booster T Finder instruction book. Near mint condition.

Hyper rare Minolta Six 6×6 cm medium format 120 roll film camera from 1936. This was the first camera to carry the Minolta name and was the first 6×6 cm camera made in Japan.

Classic early 1970s Mamiya/Sekor 35mm SLR – the 1000 DTL was a landmark camera from Mamiya.

Super cool camera case (camera not included). Made by Marsand. I still have the key and the lock still locks!

Not often seen outside of Japan, this SLR slayer from Fuji Photo Film Company is like new in its original package – with all the goodies included it’s ready to be a street photog’s dream.

Brand new Canon Olympics fanny pack. Step back to the future with this HTF collectible from Canon.

There you have it – a small sample of some of the neat items I’ve added to my shop recently all at 10% off in my big Spring sale! Check it out at http://www.ccstudio2380.com
