Ready for an outing: Canon OD F-1

My Canon OD F-1 is ready for another outing. I’m not sure yet which lens or lenses I’ll take along. I typically choose a wide-angle lens as it best suits the close quarters of my town’s historic district.

OD is for Canon’s limited edition Olive Drab camera, released in early 1978 and limited to less than 3,000 units, mainly for the Japanese domestic market. The strap is a recent addition. I purchased it from a seller on Etsy who makes these custom straps. It’s not an exact color match, but it’s close enough for me.

Here are a few images from an outing a couple of weeks ago.

Friday Fotos! Canon and Fujifilm

Canon NFD 24mm f/2.8 lens. I should have used a yellow or orange filter.

I got better results using the meter in the F-1 when using a 1.35v Wein Cell.

Processing and scans were done by The Darkroom at medium resolution. The images below I used a 625A 1.5v battery which, on average made the camera’s meter two stops off.

Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 SSC lens.
In the tight confines of the historic district, a 50mm lens isn’t my favorite lens to shoot with. I’m a wide-angle lens guy.
OK exposure but, I’m not happy with it.
Missed it by a country mile!

Rare 1984 Los Angeles Olympics Fujifilm Neopan Dark Bag (film changing bag)

Rare Fuji Fujifilm Neopan Film Changing Dark Bag
– Official Film of the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics
– Unused with Original Box

It’s available in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com or you can purchase it directly from this post.

Not many of these still survive to this day. This one is unused with its original box. It’s in mint condition – the zipper works as it should, the nylon is soft and pliable and the elastic
sleeve cuffs are lightproof and tight.

Perfect (and rather rare) Olympic collectible and perfect for use as a film changing bag while out and about and in the light.

The original box is a bit shopworn and it has some tape and glue on it (see pics) but it’s
still solid.

The bag is quite large with plenty of room inside to maneuver your camera(s) around. This is a very well made accessory with high-quality materials.

Look closely at the logo – there are some defects visible from the manufacturing process here and there but no soiling or stains. My pictures are an accurate depiction of the bag.

I mail daily and super fast. I’ll mail it FOR FREE in the USA via USPS Priority Mail with tracking and insurance.
