In this episode, I review the Canon New F1 from 198. It's a 35mm single-lens reflex camera aimed at professionals. It's designed to work with FD-mount lenses (but it also accepts older FL lenses). Like its predecessor, it forms the basis of a modular system and can be equipped with a wide range of accessories, making it useful in almost any photographic application.

who regularly checks in on me despite the gaps between episodes!

My partner Olivia, who lets me do stuff for YouTube alone late at night in the dark.

My Mom, who let me learn photography with her Minolta SRT 101b when I was little.

I even borrowed it once without telling her. I got a real dressing-down... But it didn't discourage me!

Ronald Gazzola, whose encouraging yet demanding little voice I can still hear when I'm shooting and editing a video.

Jean-Pierre Couderc, the first professional photographer I ever met, admired, and whose work continues to inspire me.
