Love mine. The EOS1 film cams have so much going for them, the leader-out, 8000ss, EF mount, build quality. I have a feeling these will be hard to get at a good price pretty soon.
Actually, you have the drive grip. It takes 8 AAs and that gives you the wikid fast drive. There is a battery grip that takes 4 AAs and the 2cr5 battery that you can switch between. I got mine for about 150 as well, but mine has the battery grip. The good thing is, the grip mounts to the 1, 1N, 1V, and 3. Coolness. Great video. Thanks.
Thanks for the great video. In the 90s I was shooting with the 1nRS and a EOS 5 with the famous eye control focus. But when digital cameras started to appear I sold all analog cameras when they still had some value. Anyway I was not so happy with the RS, because of the quality loss of the transparent mirror. Today I’m shooting with the Canon 1DX and 1DX2. I kept the L-glass from the 90s and still use my 300 f/2.8 regularly on the modern cameras. The 35-350 is still a great lens for traveling. One thing is amusing for me: Having made a living as a sports photographer in the 90s, I shoot enough film for my live, so for me going back to film is not an option. And I think it’s kind of interesting when I see in vlogs people telling me how great it is to shoot analog.. yeah, not really, been there, done that, next... Don’t understand me wrong, I’m glad I had to learn on film. You had to know your trade and had to make sure all is correct before you start to shoot; there was no room for errors. When I see photographer today which check e-v-e-r-y single picture on the screen, then I know that they never worked analog before. I only check the screen after the first shoots and then that’s it. I can fully concentrate on the scene I’m shooting. But now, even I do not want to shoot analog anymore, the circle is closing: My daughter which never shoot analog, now wants to have a analog camera. So I just bought a Canon EOS 1N for 45 Euro because the 1N was the only choice for me. And now I will teach the next generation how to properly use a analog camera. Since my daughter „inherited“ an Canon 1D MarkIII and uses it regularly, it should be quite easy for her to change to the 1N, since the controls are mostly identical. Now the next challenge is to find good, but affordable film and also a development service which doesn’t break the bank.
i would say that someone that checks every shot carefully on their digicam monitor is more likely an experienced film user that found that their shooting quality had deteriorated once they went digital and that once they became aware of this they slowed down and tried to savour each shot just as they had done in their film-shooting days.
A full paragraph to say you dont like film. We get it. Go shoot digital and be happy. Some people love the look and experience shooting film. For what its worth I have shot film for 40 years and digital for 20. Spent 22 years in the photo industry. Pros and cons to both. Shoot what you enjoy!
Bought one of these last year as a "spares/repair" off fleabay for £20 (yeah you did read that correctly) with the BC error magnet problem and within 5 mins got it working. Gotta say I love it. its in mint condition as well.
This review is four years old. I'm leaning toward buying this model on Ebay for about $200(Mint, Box,& strap) If money wasn't an object I'd probably get the 1V but my pushback a/g that is that I'd probably be paying for features I don't need,& this and the 1V seems to have better build construction over the Eos 3. I own an Eos Elan iie that I don't use enough. Any updated thoughts?
@@donaldhollister8430 But my pointed enquiry had more to do with how you felt about the purchase? Would you buy it again in 2024? A Reviewer of the 1V said he uses rechargeable batteries, an idea?
@@jomoanderson5596 depends on the price gap and what you’re comfortable paying. I haven’t gone through that many batteries and rechargeable double As (for bigger grip)
Great video! Definately made a good argument for buying this. Just ordered mine from my trusted shop in Sheffield for 160 Pounds with the grip included. Can't wait :D

One of the best videos explaining why this camera makes a good choice. I have a Nikon F4 and an F5 but shoot digital with a basic canon T7 with the 24mm and 50mm EF lenses. Really have had the urge to try a "pro" level Canon to get the fast shutter speed and was looking at the EOS 3 and EOS 1V, both of which are considerably more expensive for just a few extra features. Might give the EOS 1N more thought now. Thanks
Thanks for the review! I'd like to shoot wirelessly with my EOS 1N (self-portrait). I heard there exists somewhere a wireless controller that mounts on the hot shoe and into the T3 connector, to shoot from around 100 meters away. Would you know where I can find this? Thank you so much!
I’ve heard of the same thing but wired like how older film cameras have the button extension via the long cable, however i would image be they make a Bluetooth connection. Check for a “remote shutter” online
Film stock number is the ISO. Then you use the light meter in the viewfinder to see if it’s under/ overexposed. And adjust the shutter and aperture from there
Would you consider going for this 1N instead of the Eos 3 or even the Eos 1V? I have an A-1. Just started with film photography, although I have my precious 5D Mark III and some L lenses that I really want to pair them with my film camera.
Mario Gutiérrez definitely recommend the 1N i haven’t used the eos 3 or 1v but aside from a faster shutter speed and some other seemingly useless amenities the 1n was the best bang for buck for me. The EOS 3 is newer however i believe it was more of a consumer camera vs the 1n being a semi professional one.
@@donaldhollister8430 The EOS 1 series are the top of the pro models, 1, 1N, and 1V. The EOS 3 is considered a semi pro or enthusiast but it's AF point count destroys both the 1 and 1N
@John ok ok I'll agree on your suggestion for the 1N. Just oddfounded that you disagreed on my statement on the 3 having more AF points than the 1 or 1N, since I wasn't suggesting any of the cameras. Okay given that said statement may have sound biased towards the 3.
i think the Canon A1 is a fantastic. the a1 does everything you could possibly want, with less confusion than these other cameras. these other cameras were made for pros that were plowing through tons of film. bear in mind how quickly 36shots gets used up when using a power winder. the pros used to put a special rear on the camera that allowed for installing extremely long lengths of film. who the heck would use a power winder on a 36 shot shoot?
IMO I don't really see the point in shooting modern glass on film. I prefer the softness, otherwise I'd just shoot digital. To each their own though, they just don't look much different than digital I think.
Hey do you have the raw negative scans of some of your shots? I'm practising manual color inversion of negatives and wanted to try them out on someone else's negatives. I dont need a bunch, and i wont post them publicly especially not without your permission
Great job and tech presentation. Try not talking about what you want in the camera and talk to each mode function and feature one by one. Your English teacher would say don’t present in the first person.
never in my life have i encountered a scenario whereby a shutter speed of 1/8000 would be desirous. maybe i have never shot film at, say, 6400asa and with a 200mm f2.5lens, wide open, pointing directly at the sun from a distance of 50km.
Leodoz wasn’t aware the 1N was the flagship but makes sense. It was then replaced by the 1V which definitely gets more attention online and on eBay lol
@@donaldhollister8430 the 1V is a very recent camera, for sale till 2018. It's still cheaper than a Nikon F6, which sells atleast 200$ more apples to apples in near mint prices
@jp jast so, matey, are these wedding (film) photographers some niche entity that the couple hires in the main for their using a film format as opposed to digital (because shooting film is obviously not cost-effective for the wedding photography company)?
@jp jast hi "matey". i have been shooting film since very probably before you were born. i do not appreciate your claiming that i am biased against film, given that there is no such implication in my comment. your failed attempt at an argument having the conclusion that shooting digital is in fact not more cost-effective is based on the notion that clients spend 1000s on wedding photographs -clearly this is irrelevant to as to whether or not shooting digital is less costly. if clients specifically seek out photographers that use film as their medium then this is indeed irrelevant to the issue in and of itself as to whether shooting digital is less costly than shooting film.

Did the Sigma 35 1.4 auto focus? I ask as My Tamron 35 1.4 and 85mm do not unless I have a setting wrong somewhere. Great video and subed
