Questions
Is the Canon F-1 the same as the New F-1?
No — the original F-1 (1971) and F-1n (1976 revision) are mechanically related, while the New F-1 launched in 1981 is a different camera with electronic shutter control, so check which variant a listing refers to before comparing price.
What affects the value of a Canon F-1 the most?
Working meter, accurate shutter, clean prism and intact light seals have the biggest impact on price; cosmetic wear and the presence of original accessories such as the motor drive or Speed Finder also move the value.
