Questions about the Canon F-1:

[panader0]

I cleaned out my brothers apartment yesterday. He was committed to the
VA dementia ward. He loved photography and I brought home a Canon F-1
in very good condition. Is this camera out-dated? Is film still available for it?
Any advice would be appreciated.

1. You can probably find film for it. Processing might be a problem.

Digital has long taken over the professional and accomplished amateur photography market though.

2. Sadly the body is worth very little

that said the lens or lenses may have value.

3. Yes, 35mm film is still made-- just not so much of it and it's not so easy to find...

The F-1 is an excellent camera, and if you have a few lenses for it you can have some fun and make great pictures.

If you don't have a local camera store, try these guys:

B&H is a huge store with an excellent reputation and great prices. Pros worldwide depend on them. Adorama and Cameta Camera are other excellent places I have used.

Sorry to hear about your brother

4. If you shoot b&w 35mm, you can develop yourself

And scan the negatives with a negative scanner.

I did this for years.

5. Quite a resurgence in film

Just like with vinyl records, there’s a lot of young people who enjoy shooting with film. You can find the film easily even at CVS or Walgreens.
That would be a great camera to use!
Enjoy!
