Canon EF F1 35mm SLR w/ 35mm f/2.5 FL Lens Film Tested Working

The Canon F-1 is Canon’s original professional 35mm SLR, built like a tank and designed for serious shooters. Introduced in the early 1970s, the F-1 quickly gained a reputation for its durability, modular system design, and mechanical reliability. With full manual exposure control and compatibility with Canon’s extensive lineup of FD-mount lenses, it remains a top-tier choice for classic film photography.

This kit includes the Canon 50mm f/1.8 New FD (nFD) lens, a lightweight and sharp standard prime that balances perfectly with the F-1 body. It’s a great combo for street photography, portraits, or everyday shooting with full manual control.
