Re: [APML] Canon F1 Prices

[Jeff Allen <jeffstak@yahoo.com>]

Thom,
That's probably a fairly good price. There are a
couple of shops here in the Seattle area that sell
used Canons and I periodically check them out. A body
for an older F1 usually goes for $250 in pretty
brassed condition with maybe a dent or two but fine
optically. For $350 they are in pretty nice shape, no
or very little brassing. I think 350 for a nice F1N
and lens is a pretty good price. I know you just
answered my ad for Waist level Finder on A-mart. Check
out the F1N Waist level finder. It works better for AP
than the F1 version. It's what I use.
