Professional Cameras | Chasing Classic Cameras with Chris

Canon EOS-1N RS SLR. (RS = Rapid Speed). One of the best late model film cameras made by Canon. The later model EOS-1v was released in 2000 and was at the time the best a professional could get their hands on. In the current used markets the 1v goes for 2 to 3 times the cost of a little used 1N RS. The specs between the two cameras are not that different to justify the extra cost. About the best thing a 1v has going for it is that it’s anywhere from 5 to 8 years newer so maybe it could last longer. I don’t buy that argument as both are built to exceed professional standards for reliability and durability. One could argue that the EOS-1v may have been used harder by professionals than the EOS-1N RS.

Vintage Minolta SR-T MC 35mm SLR Film Camera

Super nice and exceptionally clean, this hard to find Minolta in pro-black is available now to add to your collection. These cameras were made exclusively for sale in the United States at J.C. Penny and K-Mart department stores from around 1973-1975. This SLR will come with its original matching MC Rokkor-PF f/1.7 55mm lens and original metal Minolta lens cap. The lens is clean, clear, and crisp and the focus is spot on. The shutter works properly at all speeds (it's a mechanical shutter) and it sounds "classic". The only thing is the built-in TTL meter does not register consistently so you'll have to use a handheld meter or your phone meter app (simple to use; I use mine all the time). Please email or message me with any questions. Thanks, Chris
