Sounds great Peter. Once you use a T70 you will fall in love with it. I know I did. But then I went and got into the EF mount system, and along with the M-42 system and Fd systems I had 3 different SLR kits. So one had to go. And seeing as though I had recently paid nearly $2000 for a DSLR and the fact that the M-42 lenses could be retrofitted onto the EF mount with an adaptor, I let the FD gear go. I am now waiting on a lens to be shipped from the Us for my EOS's.

We have a canon A1 which Ernie has owned since about 1978 and I have a modern EOS 7. In our collection we have a few canons:
A half frame Demi and a Multi Tele; the latter can be set to half frame or full frame. Canon Canonet and a Canonet G-III QL17. Canon A35F and an Epoca 135 bridge camera. And there is a EOS 1000 body around somewhere.
On the digital side Ernie has a Sureshot A5 which was the first digital camera he owned and we have two other Sureshots; I have an S70 and Ernie has an S50.
Finally there is the icing on the cake in the form of my 1Dx Mk2 complete with a couple of IS L lenses; but this is in a class of its own.

Thought I would update. I still have the old F1 and now I have an F1N and an Olympic F1N, 2- A1's, one AE1 P that belonged to a deceased friend, QL17 GIII, 3- T90's, EOS A2, EOS 3, EOS1, EOS1v HS, AF 35 ML, Sure Shot Zoom 76 and if the Canadian post will hurry a G2. I also have so many FD mount lenses I honestly don't know if I could name them all. In EOS mount I have 28-70 f2.8 Sigma, 70-210 f2.8 Sigma, Tamron 300 f2.8 and a Sigma 500 f4.5. The last two are used for shooting local high school sports and 800 speed film for dim lighting night games.

I like the Canons as well. I have a really clean original F1 and a P rangefinder, My "serious" equipment is an EOS 1n and a 39D and a batch of lenses. My first "real" camera was a Canon FTb. The thing was built like a tank, wish I still had it but I had a long flirtation with Pentax K mount (2 MX's, and an LX) The LX was a great disappointment as it died on a wonderful trip to the UK. I think in many ways the Canon F1 first model is a more elegant camera than the Nikon f or F2. The finder attachment and the lens linkages were way ahead, and much smoother. That said I really like a plain prism Nikon F. My only regret with these fine cameras is the only truly criminal urge I have had in my whole life. I want to start a black market, underground, highly hush-hush PX 625 mercury battery factory. I am however afraid I will wind up as the villain in a James Bond movie (just call me quick silver finger) I guess I will have to make due with the substitutes. One bright note I understand that the Canon EF has a built in voltage regulator and will run off two of the alkali substitutes.
Cheers,
Dwight

My first time on this guys. I hope I am at the right place in this forum. I have owned an AE-1 program for the past 7+ years and have NEVER been disappointed. I recently got "the bug" and aside from this Canon, I also have 4 German's, 2 Russians a Konica TC, Kodak autograph from 1917 and more. My wife thinks I am crazy and for once, I must agree with her. QUESTION: I purchased an AE-1 (regular) on Ebay and the shutter button jammed sporadically. I got a refund. So I bought another AE-1 and got the same problem (Also got a refund). Is this a regular issue with the older "standard" AE-1 or is there something I don't understand ? ? ? Both got the same NEW battery before I tested them without film. Again, I have been using the AE-1 program for years.

Shutter button jammed or shutter didn't release when you pushed the button. I had a persistent "no release" with my A-1. The camera tech traced the problem to a bad capacitor. The camera has been fine since the cap. was replaced.
