Canon F1 camera with Tilt and Shift lens
17 of 19 people found this review helpful.
This is one of the most incredible combination of hard to find items from the remarkable Canon FD Modular System for Professional Photographers.
The F1 camera body was the camera of choice of journalists because of its toughness, very important in the field ,and its versatility. The pentaprism finder for example could be replaced by the higher performance Sports Finder , that produces a larger ,brighter image that can be observed at a distance from the camera and positioned at different angles ,all welcomed qualities ,highly necessary for rapidly focusing Telephoto lenses ,in less than desirable light and or rapidly occurring events , such as Olympic Games or Journalism.
The 35mm f2.8 Tilt and Shift lens, working synergistically with the Sports Finder and the exceptional reticulated Focusing Screen type "D, Precision Matte with Grid" ,for example , makes this camera a natural for Architectural and Table Top Photography ,fields where specialized photographers cannot afford any distortion in their pictures, requiring the utmost optical control that only Shift ,Tilt and a Laser Reticulated Grid focusing screen can provide to comply with the Scheimpflug rule of Photography .
