The EOS-1 gave me the chance to see what a modern film camera had to offer. The last film SLR I shot was my father’s Pentax ME Super. While I’d shot plenty of film in the past and even worked in a university darkroom for a while, I’ve mostly shot range finders. It was only when I started shooting film again this fall that I discovered the EOS-1.
Why buy an EOS-1 in 2020?ĭuring my short career as a photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to shoot a lot of different cameras both film and digital, and thus far my favorite has to be the EOS-1D Mark IV.īut the 1D Mark IV was pushing a decade old when I was shooting it and at $6,000, a new 1Dx Mark II was out of the question. Three decades later and almost two weeks of waiting, my EOS-1 arrived from Japan earlier this week.
CANON 35MM FILM CAMERA PROFESSIONAL
However, it wasn’t until 1989 that Canon would announce its first professional autofocus body, the EOS-1. But as you might have guessed from the title of this post, I want to talk about a different camera altogether: the 1Dx’s progenitor, the venerable EOS-1.Ĭanon officially unveiled its line of electronically-controlled autofocus cameras under the EOS moniker in 1987 with the release of the EOS 650 and 620 SLRs. Earlier this year, Canon unveiled its latest Olympic sports camera the Canon EOS-1Dx Mark III.
