Canon F-1 olive (ODF-1, military)
The Canon F-1 olive (ODF-1) is a military-finish variant of Canon's professional 35mm SLR, finished in olive drab rather than the standard black. It uses the Canon FD manual-focus lens mount and was positioned as a specialist version of the F-1 line aimed at institutional and military buyers.
Hammer prices for this olive ODF-1 variant at UK auction have ranged from £900 to £1,100, with both recorded sales clustered in that band — a level well above what a standard black F-1 typically sells for today. Because only two saleroom results are on file, those auction figures should be treated as indicative rather than a settled market value, and condition plus completeness of military markings can swing what an example is worth.
