In reply to Lee Castor. A magnet can’t lose its power, not within the span of a human lifetime.

Great review. If I spring for another EOS film camera it will be the 1V though. My primary film camera is the original F-1 and R, FL and FD lenses.
These can now be perfectly used on my R7 with IBIS and focus confirmation.
But your review does make me want to get a EOS 1 series camera. Who knows? Thank you.

Great camera, great review! For anyone experiencing the dreaded “bc” error on their EOS1 film bodies try the following to correct the sticking magnet syndrome- power off the camera, remove the lens, install a body cap, then strike to body smartly on the lens mount with a rubber mallet…

This has worked two or .three times for me on both EOS1 & 1n bodies sparing me the expense and inconvenience of sending these gems out for repair. These cameras are meant to be used on a regular basis and should be dry fired 2-3 times a month to keep them in shape, just like your EX series flashes. ENJOY!

Looking at getting into film for my north american travels!! After reading your review of the 1-N and since I already have a 7D Mk 2 with EF lenses, definitely sounds like the 1-N is the way to go to start off!! Bloody awesome

Nice review! Just grabbed one of these in early December. Mint condition with the Extended battery pack too. Somewhat similar size etc to my T-90. Great camera and the prices are still working their way down. I was at $250 with shipping from Japan. Wasn’t ready to drop money on a 1V. Shot many rolls during the Holidays and brought developed pictures to the last family gathering last week. Everyone enjoyed the old school looking at physical prints part and reminded them of days gone by. Again great film camera if you can get one in good condition.

Great article… I purchased an EOS 1n 10 years ago for an outlandish price of 125.00! Just loading film is a joy.

I have two canon A-1s for many years, I put delta 100 in one body and figi 100 in second body. I developed and produced my b&w film (up to 24″×36″). I miss film and reading the comments on the “1N” encourages me to purchase in that series. I have the 1d mkii, mkiiN, 1Ds, and the 1d mkiii. Plus all the good ef lenses. The layout of the features of the 1N and size and fit well with my digital cameras. Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated. Now back to my darkroom!

Back in the late 1908’s when Canon first introduced the EOS 1 autofocus 35mm camera, got one not long after it’s introduction then proceeded to burn many thousands rolls of 35mm film. That EOS 1 was a boulder of reliability, durability and never failed or had any problem over those many years of image making. About 2010, this EOS 1 was given to a college student.

Fast forward to 2020, decided to get a EOS 1v and do 35mm film again. Remarkable camera in much the same way as the EOS 1 from decades ago except the EOS 1v has been updated to being much similar as Canon’s best DSLR’s (1D series) from that time. One of the best features of these EOS 35mm film cameras, they access ALL canon EF lenses made to date from 1987. This allows easy mixing of 35mm film to Digital images in the most seamless way.

Introduction of Canon mirrorless beginning with the M series and not the R series means being able to adapt vintage lenses to these mirrorless cameras allowing access to some of the best timeless classic lenses which offers image qualities not found in modern lenses.
