Canon F-1 Early Model + FD 1,4/50mm S.S.C. Maintained Meter Works Shutter speed measured | Analogt kamera

The first-generation Canon F-1 was released in March 1971, with serial numbers starting from the 100000 range.
This unit has the serial number 157644, making it a model that falls close to the early production batch.

Both the camera and the lens were professionally disassembled and serviced by a technician.

Most classic cameras exported from Japan are not properly maintained.
It is quite rare to find a camera that has been thoroughly serviced, including accurate shutter speed measurement.

The following maintenance work has been carried out:

Disassembly cleaning of the Focusing Screen and lens.

Adjustment and calibration of the shutter speed.

Many Canon F-1 bodies have an issue where the shutter curtains do not fully open at the 1/2000-second speed.
As shown in the video below, all shutter speed readings on this camera — including 1/2000 sec — fall within the specified values.
