I’m exposing less 35mm film and mostly from a stash of expired film that someone donated to me.

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!

Comment on Canon EOS 650 Camera Review by Piotr

Great job reviewing and thanks for sharing. I’ve used a 630 model thru the 1990’s, specifically since 1990 till I got a Nikon N80. Been to east Berlin in 1991 just following the falling of Berlin wall, been to Capricornia Islands off the east Australian coast. The 630 never failed me and delivered outstanding performance. Until about year 1998 when I discovered that the battery started to die more quickly than usual. Towards the end, two days in OFF position would drain a new battery. That was one of the reasons I made the switch to Nikon. Recently I found out that the 630 was an improved version of 650 and it had an illumination feature of digital readout added to it over the 650. That apparently is the reason of the problem and there is a quick fix for it by cutting off some wire inside. Or else to remove battery altogether when not in use. I recently bought another 630 and it also has the same problem, so I will look into making a permanent fix on them. Overall I just love the design of that first EOS body, especially the undercut on LH side. One thing to remember, is that Canon made the shutter mechanism electronic and virtually bulletproof in terms durability and timing accuracy. None of the earlier “sheet metal” body cameras from Canon, Minolta, Nikon or Olympus can hold a candle to the shutter accuracy and I’ve measured many of them myself. All the best.

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.
