One of my favourite parts of the city in the off season.... Canon EF, FD 50 f1.8 S.C. and 28 f2.8 FD Lens. Rollei Retro 400S, HC110 B.

The Canon EF is an interesting camera, only made for five years it was a pretty advanced piece of hardware in the Canon line up. Slotted below the F-1 pro body, it was pitched to the market as the camera for the advanced amateur. The EF has the distinction of being the only camera with a vertical hybrid copal shutter in the Canon line up that was mechanical from a 1/2 second up 1/1000 and electroncially assisted one second and slower. Compared to the later A-1, this is a paragon of simplicity. I gave this camera a bit of a workout a few weeks ago with the Toronto Film Shooters FB Group meet up. The last time I used it was the Summer before and the meter was four stops off, recently it was pretty much on for accuracy, figure that out. I plan to use this camera more often this year with various projects and adventures. Camera: Canon EF (the film camera not the lens mount), FD 50 f1.8 SC lens. Film: Rollei Retro 400S, HC110 B.
