Opening sentence
"The Canon EF, introduced in 1973, is the first and last of its kind." This is a much-repeated comment, wherever the EF is being reviewed, and one that has always niggled me. What 'kind' are we talking about? If it's the fact that this was the only Canon camera to have a non-Canon-built shutter, well, that meaning isn't really clear. It wasn't unique in having the Copal Square shutter (I believe the EL had the same, as did the 1970-ish Ricoh TLS401 sitting a few yards away from me). When I think of the EF (and I do ... having owned three of these beauties) I think of 'its kind' as including the Nikkormat EL/ELW and Pentax ES/ESII ... i.e. high quality, electromechanical, auto-exposure cameras from a major manufacturer.
Does anyone know what is really meant by this phrase, AND feel that it should be retired, with lazy reviewers being banned from ever using it again?
