Canon F-1

The New F-1.

The F-1 is commonly regarded as Canon's first serious attempt to build a top-of-the-line SLR system camera for professional photographers.

There name covers two very different cameras: a fully manual model, and a later electronically controlled model. The latter is often termed the New F-1 or F-1N. (The earlier model exists in two versions; the latter is often termed the F-1n.)
