Canon F-1N

The Canon F-1N is a 35mm professional SLR introduced in 1981 as the updated ("New F-1") version of Canon's flagship manual-focus system camera. It uses the Canon FD lens mount and was positioned as the top-tier body for working professionals, sitting above the A-series in Canon's lineup.

At UK auction in 2026, hammer prices for the F-1N body have ranged from around £190 to £500, with limited sample size making a single median figure unreliable. Today the camera's value at saleroom level is strongly tied to cosmetic condition, meter accuracy and whether finders or motor drives are included, so clean, fully-working bodies tend to sell for more than stripped examples.
