Related: About this forumQuestions about the Canon F-1:
I cleaned out my brothers apartment yesterday. He was committed to the
VA dementia ward. He loved photography and I brought home a Canon F-1
in very good condition. Is this camera out-dated? Is film still available for it?
Any advice would be appreciated.

(43,049 posts)The F-1 is an excellent camera, and if you have a few lenses for it you can have some fun and make great pictures.
If you don't have a local camera store, try these guys:

B&H is a huge store with an excellent reputation and great prices. Pros worldwide depend on them. Adorama and Cameta Camera are other excellent places I have used.
Sorry to hear about your brother

(839 posts)Just like with vinyl records, theres a lot of young people who enjoy shooting with film. You can find the film easily even at CVS or Walgreens.
That would be a great camera to use!
Enjoy!
