This was the top of the range single-lens reflex from Canon designed to compete with the Nikon. First produced in 1971, a second version was introduced in 1976, usually called the F1n. This has minor improvements over the 1971 version - film speed setting to 3200, film memo holder on the camera back, plastic tip to film-advance lever. In 1981 a new and quite different camera was introduced also marked F1 on the camera. The F1 is a system camera with a large range of accessories.
