Canon F-1 Olympics 'Montreal'

The Canon F-1 'Montreal' is a commemorative variant of Canon's professional 35mm SLR, issued to mark the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games. It uses the FD manual-focus lens mount and sits within the original F-1 line aimed at professional photographers.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for this commemorative F-1 have sat in the £300–£400 range, with those two results giving a median around £350 in today's market. With only a handful of saleroom records to draw on, what a 'Montreal' F-1 is worth is highly sensitive to cosmetic condition and the presence of the original Olympic marking, and a clean, complete example sells for more than a user-grade body.
