HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2018
- In this episode we take out the Canon F-1 New putting it to the test of the streets of San Francisco. San Francisco street photography is usually fast paced, lots of tourist and with that comes the ability to g unnoticed. The F-1 though a fairly large camera made its mark and left me speechless after every frame! Also met up with a homie to talk more about photography! If you liked this video drop a thumbs up! Also comment down below for the 13,000 subscriber giveaway!! #MinoltaGang
Canon F-1 First Impressions:
- Heavy but solid camera
- Love that its mostly made out of metal
- Options for aperture and shutter priority is dope
- Takes the saucy canon FD Glass
- Removable prism is always a plus
Overall the Canon F-1 is an absolute beast! Professional as hell no wonder this thing has been credited to be one of the greatest SLR's EVER made. Pick yourself up on off eBay for $200 buy a couple of lenses while they're still pretty inexpensive and enjoy one of the greatest analog experiences ever!

The Canon F-1 New is an absolute BEAST! But what do you think is better F-1 vs F3? 🤔 Find out soon :) 13,000 Sub giveaway coming next week SMASH that thumbs up button!! #MinoltaGang
KingJvpes yo thanks for this I have the OG F-1 and I’ve been looking at getting one and selling my old one. 👊🏾✌🏾🤘🏾This helps a lot
What kind of scanner is that you use in the video
Dude if you are looking for nice straps, have a look at hyperioncamerastraps.com :-) They are handmade and you can choose your colors...And they cost only 15 bucks :D
awesome dude thank you so much!
epson 3590! super old and slow :)
The F1 New has a hybrid shutter, which means that it can be controlled electronically, or, without batteries, mechanically. That's the feature that makes the F1 new so unique.
The dude in the red hoodie in the red circle? You didn’t get that. Hahahaha
“got it!”…shows picture of totally different dude in black and white shot on a digital camera 😂
Nah dude it’s real, but the dude moved at lightspeed and changed his race, bag, outfit, and all that just so this guy could get a photo 🙌🏼
Don't forget that the different focussing screens provide different metering modes! Average, partial and spot metering. They can be recognized by the first letter of the focussing screen (A = average, P = Partial and S = Spot Metering).
With the power winder shutter priority shooting is also possible.
uh.... 2:51 guy is not the same as 2:54... what up...
right!!!
Thanks for your video, I follow you since the beginning and I see your evolution in photography and it's awesome!
I really dig these longer videos. Also I can really see that you developed a lot in your photography lately! Awesome shots man :)
The F-1 New shutter can continue to operate if the battery fails (15:30 in the video). Removing the battery will engage the mechanical shutter mechanism and shutter speeds from 1/2000 to 1/125 plus the flash sync 1/90 will work. The shutter button does loose it’s great feel in mechanical mode but limited mechanical backup is there if needed. The FD 50mm 1.4 is a great lens. I have used it on my Fuji X-Pro2 with a Novoflex adapter. It renders very nicely and is sharp even wide open on Fuji’s crop sized sensor. I think that I prefer the way it renders compared to Fuji’s own 50mm f2.0 (but the Fuji might be sharper). Thanks for the video.
I enjoy your videos a lot. You have a lot of passion for photography and gear and it's beautiful to see you grow. Some great images in this vid. For me as an experienced photographer it is a great joy to see you do things your way, it's time for the wild young ones to show their goods :)
Without a doubt one of the best videos I believe you have made. I love the longer video, cannot wait for the next vid!
I owned both Canon F1-NEW and Nikon F3. I got rid of the F3 6 months later. I found the F1-NEW much better. You my can feel the quality of this beast just by holding it. This camera will never die. I have also the Canon A1, FTb, and T90. All good pieces of engineering. The lenses are just splendid.This said, the F3 is still a legendary very good camera, I had good time with it during the 6 months I had it, but couldn't match up with the , F1 or the T90. Would have loved to keep it, but have enough cameras, with one unique set of Canon FD lenses, used by all my Canon camera.
Before my m2 I rocked the F1-new and 50 1.4 combo for years. It was my go too for daily shooting, portrait and wedding work etc. An amazing camera to say the least. Loved the street work during your walk! Your work is improving by leaps and bounds! I love it!
Nick Exposed sahhh lots of love dude! Also very interesting! You were an SLR guy before you got your Leica?! I remember you selling off your canon f-1 haha thanks a ton nick, keep up the great work as well!!
KingJvpes i loved slr’s, and honestly I hated rangefinders before the Leica. All of them I had ever used had broke on me before I could get the hang of it (4 Canon rangefinders, Yashica, Minolta, Kiev) . I went into Leica with expectations of hating it and selling it off, but realized that it was actually the perfect camera for me. Now I find it difficult to go back to slr.
Nick Exposed haha that’s awesome!! Didn’t know that bout you
Love the brass showing through. That has been a used and loved cameras
This is your best video! I like the insights you give, continue to give your composition tips :)
Hands down one of the best film photography videos I’ve seen on RUclips. Love the breakdown before each shot.
That F1 so good it changed the first pic subject! Great vid as always bro!
Santiago Castillo 😂😂😂😭 you noticed!!!
I still have my Canon F-1 that I bought new as a teenager in 1976. It was my first professional camera and I used it to photograph a few weddings and for travel. At the time, I wanted the Nikon F2 but it was more expensive.
qnetx haha any reason why you liked the f2 over the f-1?!
Purely emotional. Many of the Nat Geo, Life Magazine, and Fashion photographers that I admired at the time seemed to be pictured with Nikons. I thought the Nikon F2 Photomic had a unique look that was aesthetically pleasing. Years later I used a Nikon F2 Photomic in the studio and I liked the way it felt in my hands, the viewfinder, and the sound and feel of the shutter. Today I have an F2 Photomic, F3 HP, F4, and an FM2 and my favorite between them is a toss up between the FM2 and the F3 HP. I like the build and feel of the F3 HP but I find the FM2 easier to shoot because the lit up LED meter on the FM2 is easier for me to see than the F3 meter and the FM2 is lighter to carry. The Canon F-1 is still much appreciated because it is a solid, easy to use camera and has sentimental value to me. I have the original version (not the N or New version).
fun thing is that here my Canon F-1 (original model) costed more than the F2. I have bought three F2 in total these years, yet only one F-1.
Nice photos, you're getting better with each video.
Some really impressive shots here. Great job!
Canon F1 will be my next big camera buy I think. I’ve got an A1 and love it but can’t stop checking out the New F1. Keep the vids coming , great as always.
I've always wanted to have my own film camera when I was a kid just because am a sucker for designs and that sound the camera makes yaaaasss! tho I was really not into shooting back then, now that I realized but anyways . . this was a great one! I love those shots! soooo amazing! You have a very good future ahead of you and just to let you know, you're my #1 street photographer! hands down! Looking forward for more videos! peace!
Means sooo much!!! Thanks you ❤️🤘🏼
Super sick shots man - keep these coming!
Love the composition at 5:50 so much! Good work
Owned all 3 variants from the 70s until the 90s. I ultimately sold my last F1 AE a few years back and indeed it is a tank. Add an AE Motor Drive FN, then you are really rockin.
Great video, great images. I really enjoy watching .
some of the best quality content on this platform my man
YEET
Liam Gauntlett much love brodie!! ❤️🤘🏼
No need to compare the Canon F1 New vs. the Nikon F3. They are both great cameras. I recommend getting both.
I got both because I couldn't decide and figured I'd just re-sell the one I ended up using less... That was a year ago and I haven't sold either...
I've owned both and I agree, both are legendary.
I have both and the only thing better in the F1N is the brightness and exposure information in the finder. The F3 is so much better in the hands though because the Canon grip brings your fingers closer to the lens which causes rubbing with the fingers doing the focusing, very irritating.
Just got my dad's old F-1. Can't wait to try it out!!
Aaaaaaah. The classic LakeyInspired background music. 😊 listening to it while shooting is like channeling the KingJvpes creativity vibe! :D
that satisfaction when you took that photo of the red guy in the red circle YAS
Nice quiet shutter! My AE-1P sounds like a door slamming in comparison! Your vid convinced me. I'm going to get myself a F1.
They're not that much more than an A-1 or AE-1P and they're gorgeous when they get a little brassing. Thanks!
Ohhh! nice! This is a Canon newF-1 !!!
i like this camera , too .
Hey brother amazing video and stunning images. I am a new film shooter and I have a question though, in the daytime did you use AP/Auto mode and just let the shutter speed adjust itself while you were walking around? Or did you memorize a couple shutter speeds you needed for the sun and the shadows and then just switch it manually accordingly? Wondering which one makes better photos or if it matters. All the best man
Keep them videos coming bro!
I own 5 Canon F1s. My first 2 are the very first series I bought in 1972. I have an F1n, an 2 F1 new. I also have motor drives to suit. I love the sound of the shutter on my F1s.
man, moustaches is what you need, no kidding)))
yeah, light leaks suck sometimes, but they work for some pictures pretty well!
I have the F1n and the F3, it depends on the shooter actually which one is better, but the F1n is more rugged you can use it as a weapon and i don't think you can damage it by doing that. I like the needle metering better too you know right away how much over or under expose your shots are going to be. The f3 is smooth in operation, lighter and better glass and more options. Good video dude keep it up. Keep the film shooting alive! 👍🏼
This is awesome. Loved it. New here and excited about your content. ✌️
I really love this heavy metal beast of a camera. Especially in rain, snow or cold weather. I'm not sure if the film advance lever is actually plastic - if it's plastic, it is massive plastic ;-). 15:24 The New F-1 does have a kind of hybrid shutter: Shutter speeds from 1/2000 to 1/90 sec and B are mechanically governed. So they work without battery also. 16:07 As long as the AE Motor Drive FN is NOT installed, please make sure to put in the Rewind Coupler Cover. Without it, there will be a hole left in the bottom plate that can be seen on the right, and some light might get into the film chamber.
Nice video... Do you know where your light leaks are coming from? You're missing the Motor Drive cover screws, there are three of them, but the one under the rewind knob is the culprit. Those screw covers are very difficult to find. Put some gaffers tape over the cassette hole and maybe over the the one on the opposite side. BTW, there is a storage spot on the motor drive to put all three covers when the motor drive is on. The big motor drive has to have all three openings, as it can rewind the film. The smaller motor drive only needs the take-up gear access. The small motor drive I believe is 8 double "A's" and the big one is 12 double "A's" and it is 5 fps. There was a third motor drive that requires an external NiCad battery pack and I believe that could pull the film at close to 9fps. That one went well with the bulk roll film back holding 250 frames.
I currently have two F1's, both the New version and I have the AE Finder, Eye Level Finder, Waist Level Finder with 6x magnification, and the sports finder. Just sold one of my A1's, so now I have 3 of those. Try and FL Lens, which is the older versions of the FD's. They have stop down rings on the lens. Try an FL 55 1.2 .
Cheers!
The New F-1 does have a battery, but it can operate without a battery for most shutter speeds. Something like 1/30th through 1/1000th. I forget exactly. The catch is that it cannot operate with a DEAD battery. If your battery dies, you have to remove it to access the shutter speeds cited above. Love your work. Thanks for sharing.
Great content as always!!! I’ve ended up buying both Canon F-1 and A-1 after watching your videos. What is the model of your Epson film scanner?
Love your videos. Can’t wait to upgrade from my Pentax k1000 😃
I'm using the F-1 and has a different finder..over all the camera is a great performer
I love wear on old cameras. It shows their character
You missed that the F1N power winder added SHUTTER PRIORITY mode. Not to mention vertical controls. I have shot one since the 80's.
Hp5@1600.... My man! That’s a great formula.
awsome video tanks for the review
My Minolta SRT 101 does not have foam but doesn't leak light. Still, I tape it with adhesive tape every time. I do the same with a Canon EOS 300 film camera that also does not need foam. Great photos, even with that light leak.
I've got Canon AE-1 program , Contax 159MM and Canon F1 new. The AE1 and Contax are lighter and do 95% of what the F1 does. If you want lightweight street - go AE1 ; if you need the extra features go F1 but you'll defo pay for it with the weight difference. I agree about Canon being compelling for accessories - you can get just about anything for it cheap and most of the lenses and flashes are interchangeable between AE1 and F1. that light seal issue is easily fixed - you can buy kits on eBay to renew them. I've done that on AE1 program.
I owned one back in the in the 80's when I was a press photographer. Great camera even with it's chalky matte black finish.
You’re gonna have to start #CanonGang soon! There are probably more of us than most of the others out here! Good review on a dope camera!
John Wilkinson I have canon gang shirts for sale :)))))
KingJvpes Wha? No! Damn! Why didn’t I know that?
Dope vid as always homie keep it up. I swear i love waist level viewfinders lol the only downside is when you want to shoot like towards the ground it gets difficult
WreckFilm yea bro that’s probably the hardest thing to get used to haha.
do you know how to tell the difference between the old vs new canon f1??? i wanna buy a different viewfinder for it but don’t know if it will support both old and new.
on a camera that old be sure to check the foam seals on the back, pretty easy to replace it, get the foam from ebay.
Please do that comparison vs the Nikon F3!!!! Great videos dude! Greetings from México ✌🏼
Will do :)
Hey man I thinking buying a new film camera what you recommend the canon f1 or the canon ae1 program black version one
F1 New works without battery just fine (B and from 1/125 to 1/2000 exposures), in manual and without light-meter of course
Is that a 3590 scanner? What do you think of the automated 35mm feature? I have a v600 but am thinking about getting a 3590 for the automatic 35mm function.
As far as I remember, F-1 new could work without batteries, but only for exposure time between 1/60th till 1/8000th. For exposures below 1/30th you still needed a battery. Or was that applied to Canon F-1n, I couldn't tell...
Anyway, I would urge you to try a third legendary camera camera from that time and class with removable viewfinder, the Pentax LX. If you have the chance to find it and money of course...
Nice video Jypes, that F1 looks dope, Love that you can remove the viewfinder.
I’ve always wanted one of these
Minolta motor drive 1 is a beast for fast motion
I wish in frame 2:53? with the red parenthesis or ( ) punctuation marks would have been in color to really drive a statement to your viewers but instead, the image capture was in black and white but even funnier is that you posted a different guy wanting by! Hahahahahahaha! Man! I wish I still lived near SF! So many locations to photograph from! Great work as per usual Jonathan! Alway's look forward to your next episode! :)
Cool vid. I have the previous rivals, F-1n and the Nikon F2 I like them both, but I have more and better canon glass currently so that wins it for me.
Some shots look awesome even with the light leaks tho! Damn you inspired me to hop on a train and go to the next city to do some street as soon as the weather gets better here :D
Hey! Love the video.
What negative scanner was that Epson?
Did you ever find out what kind of scanner that was?
@@jerrysoh619 epson 3590
I've had an FTb, AE-1, and A-1 for many years and just picked up F-1 New a few weeks ago. My old FD breech lock lenses work just fine on the F-1, but my nFD lenses don't seem to operate at all. I can turn the aperture ring on the lens, but the diaphragm blades never leave the full open position. The same nFD lenses work just fine on my Sony A7R2 with a dumb adapter, so I must be doing something wrong when using the F-1 with these lenses. Any ideas?
Been waiting for you to get your hands on one of these, good shit! I had both the New F-1 and the F3, sold the F3 and somehow ended up with six New F-1s.
Dylan LeMieux yooooo what!?! That’s crazy! 😂😂
They're like pokemon - you gotta catch them all!! lol. f1, f1n, f1-new, olympics editions, us navy, high speed, olive drab, etc... Don't even start with all the accessories!
Nice shots! Like the video
Came here to check if I want to invest in the F-1. Not only is this a good video, it makes me miss 3rd and Market Street. Lol we were probably within 4 square miles when you filmed this 😆 Downtown SF.
dose canon f1 accept 35m lenses? if not are there mounts for camera body?
Great video. Quick question, what was the Epson scanner you used in this?
would like to know as well, which epson scanner model, thanks!
I want to know it too. I have been google EPSON scanner with 35mm feeder like in this video but no luck finding it so far.
I just picked up a F-1 on tuesday, this video couldnt have come out at a better time. I'm from the area man, would love to link up and shoot with you sometime
is the Canon F1 viewfinder bright enough for low light focusing ?
That mister, is a gorgeous camera.
Look at you shooting the Canon F1 New! Now you're opening up a can of whoop-ass question about one or the other (Canon F-1 vs Nikon F3) and which is better or which we would prefer. For me! it's all about the mood I am in. I have both and love them both for their respective advantages and disadvantages each of the cameras has. Which tool will render the results I am looking for. It's all good for me. Another quality perspective Jonathan!
behindeachfilmgrain haha that’s awesome Lang!!! As for build quality which one do you prefer?
They both are built like a "TANK" but each has its own unique qualities. One has the more advanced technology (F3) and the other more the simple approach (F1) but ultimately it comes down to what the end user (photographer) is going to use it for.
Hey man, so glad you've tried the F-1, I absolutely love them, I have three! Is it possible that the light leak is coming from the base plate? I think you're meant to have a screw on cover over that motordrive coupling..
True story
Yes, that is correct. The light leak is not in the viewfinder.
get a Vivian Maier book,you will love it!))Great Video!
What is the film scanner you used in your video? Also I compare the canon A1 to canon's 5d.
Did you ever find out what kind of scanner that was?
Epson Perfection V350 flatbed scanner
@@gabeldn Which is a super crappy scanner
Superb camera. I sold mine a while back and bought the Canon EF. Love the solid feel and they are still relatively cheap. Cheers, jon
Jon Burtoft you gave an f-1 up for EF ? WHAT!!
josue avellaneda yep, the F1 is a cracking camera but i prefer the size and weight of the EF, its aperture priority implementation is really well thought out and i prefer the metering system of the EF. The shutter speed dial is also much better, i didnt like the dial on the F1 with the AE finder it kind of got in the way and wasnt as intuitive. Its little quirks and foibles which can sway me to one model over another, they are lovely tools its just finding the one that fits your style. Cheers, jon
Is the f-1 better than the a-1?! when I get into film I wanna start with something bomb af
Got a question about this camera I’m really hoping someone can help me out with it. Not sure if I’ve got the Canon F1 or the F1 or all the F1 new? Do all of these have models have aperture priority and if so how do you access this feature?
Hi! I have the same camera and I was wondering if you had any issues with the shutter speed in the "A" mode. I tried metering today and in some scenarios the shutter speed will be 15/30. Should I manually pick a higher shutter speed there? I'm afraid my pics may turn out blurry. What was your experience with it?
p o p i w a v e I’d say you’re good to go hand held from 1/60 and up. If your meter is telling you the camera is going to shoot at 1/30 and you manually set it to 1/60 you’re actually underexposing your photo
Dig those beats.
After watching your video I has a GAS attack and bought a New F1 like yours off ebay haha there a lot of wild prices out there! Keep the great videos coming.
3:21 - LOL... What happened to those palm trees? 🤪
Hey, I'm just watching your video now, thanks for the review, it's helpful. Did you ever get to do the comparison between Canon New F-1 and Nikon F3 ? I can't find it but maybe I'm blind :P
thx for all the explanation. stay save
What do you think about the Yashica MG-1?
20:49 nice shout out to the Olympus OM-2n... underrated camera. You should do a review!!
I have this camera with the motor drive and is insane how this beast sounds, it's just loud😂 🔊
You need to be carful with the rewind button, its easy to depress and the film dose not advance. through the camera. When you rewind the film it, bend it, so you don't put the film through the camera again. I just realised this might only apply if you fit a motor drive which I have.
wattup Jvpes! Ive been using the new f1 for about a year now and Im having an issue maybe you have experience with. The battery check button is down and not lifting back up. Has this ever happened to you?
I think that the Canon F-1 New are the very best analog film 35mm Camera that ever was made. I have two Canon F-1 New Cameras, one very worn and one as new.
Which focus screen do you have on your F1?
Another good video and the growth carries on. I can certainly see what you are trying to do and overall you are doing brilliant but you need to ask yourself "Why?" more often. Can I ask why you pushed Acros? Especially with the interesting light you had, you have you sacrificed tonal range for shutter speed that wasn’t really needed. People were moving, but 1/250 would have been fast enough shutter speed. Push film in low light when you have to, not when you are using the best black and white film ever made for tonal range. You might as well have kept half the film cost in your pocket and used HP5 or TriX and then developed in DD-X, you would have had comparable results for far less money. Too many young RUclipsrs push film without a constructive reason beyond it sounds a cool thing to do. Your photography has grown more than anyone I can think of on RUclips, you have a true passion in your heart but try and get some of that passion in your images. Think about the story you are telling, if you find a place that’s great for a composition rule stay there a while and wait for something or someone interesting to appear. But these people have to have a little more than a frame within a frame or a leading line. You have to get something of yourself in the image, I don’t mean a selfie. The image with the bowl would have been great if you had got closer in, the newspaper was great (allowing for light leaks). Just look at the images of Robert Frank a phenomenal story teller with his images. Think of his Rolling Stones images, they were never the glitzy superstar images other photographers got but intimate shots that told a story of human beings. You always felt he was there with them, not 50 yards away. But a lot of his best early images were not super sharp, possibly because he didn’t want to sacrifice the tonal range of his film for a faster shutter speed? You are certainly well and truly on the right road, and you definitely have more natural talent and more drive than most on RUclips.
Mark Harris great advice, I’m taking it! Thanks for taking the time to teach!
Mark Harris Great Advice!
Hey man long time viewer started out with canon a1 and now got a Nikon n80 and now looking for a good scanner what do you recommend since I'm going to develop at home
Anthony Willmore any of the epson scanner ate great!!
that brass beauty
Personally I like the original Canon F-1!! I got an original with 3 FD primes for free and another F-1 at a thrift store for $5.00!! Great video as always keep it up with the quality content!!
Zakk Brown duddddeee you got a freakin steak good stuff!!!! And also thank you man, I really appreciate it’
