Much has been written about the Canon F1 Highspeed. Most Canon collectors are familiar with it. I will direct you to Steve Gandy's superb website, for additional insight. The condition of the camera, overall, is remarkably clean, considering that it has had professional use. There is light wear, as shown in the photos, but it is free from dents and heavy scratches. The pellicle mirror has a few very light cleaning marks, but it is bright and shows no discoloration, or deterioration. The inside of the camera is clean. The battery pack and connecting cord, are original and correct. I am unable to test the camera, as the battery pack is showing signs of age. The exterior and interior case are in very good, clean, condition, as is the cord. this is a unique opportunity to acquire the rarest Canon camera, next to a Hansa. This camera has been in our collection for many years. please email your questions. Shipping will only be to a confirmed address. This is for your protection. Overseas buyers are welcome. Please email your questions.
