Why I chose the Canon EOS 1V when switching from Nikon 

Changing focus points in the EOS 1V is super easy with some custom functions. I have 3 1V’s and I have them so that simply spinning the control dial changes my points in a circle and the memory button on the back grabs the centre point. With this set up it’s faster than any other camera I’ve used.

Excellent stuff. Thanks. Definitely some useable tips. Really leaning towards adding this film camera to go with my L series ef lenses. Thanks again

Enjoyed this video fellah, just purchased a 1v myself so I hope you do some more vids on the 1V.

RE: Leaving the leader out Turns out that many EOS cameras have this feature! I didn't know this at the time of recording.

Great review. Thank you.

Welcome to the family

Honestly, I wish Canon, or Nikon would come out with a Modern day film camera. Hell, it would be the best of both worlds.. amazing metering and focus capability and the ability to shoot any film. I'd ditch all my digital gear forever.

Just gained a 1V HS and like you looking forward to my 35mm film journey going up a gear. That SFX film intrigues me as I have not heard of it before.

Thank you !I would like to know which lenses you use most often, besides 50 1.2 ?

A great story! Thank you.

For me late minolta slr was way to go dynax 7 is damn amazing. now looking for upgraded dynax 9

Grab a BP-E1 which is a lightweight grip that takes 4xAA's. It's great if you don't fancy lugging around a PB-E2 Power drive booster. I've got all three of the power options for all of the 1N's, 1V's and 3's in my collection and it's nice to have the option if I feel like going lightweight for any reason. Though the PB-E2 is my usual go-to setup. :)

They do support electronic aperture just not the VR or Z lenses. Ive got a 1n and a f5 and the 1n feels like a plastic camera compared to the f5 does the 1v feel like the 1n by any chance lol?

EOS 1V HS just arrived today. All the documentation included so it’s easy to program the functions. I like the 2 dials for moving the focus point. Starting a project tomorrow and the only BW film in town was Tmax 100 so that’s what I’ll be shooting. Excited to return to film after several decades of digital.

I use canon 1v, 7e , 300 with latest lenses, like sigma art lenses 14-20, 24-70 or irix 10mm works like a charm 😊

Hi, I photograph wild horses with my F6 and I do agree with you about the E (electronic aperture) lenses. This is a nightmare. I am buying a 1VHS with an L series 100-400 lens. I do think comparing the 1V flagship to the F100 Nikon is not a fair comparison. The F6, which I also own, is a better and more fair comparison to the 1V.

does it shoot 4k ?

I know my 3, 1N and 33V will leave the leader out. I think my A7E Elan ii, and 100 will. I'd get an EOS 1V, but they are wikid expensive. Who knows, maybe one will fall into my lap, like my 3. Great video, thanks.

You can definitely change the aperture on electronic aperture cameras. Just use the command dial... Not sure what you were getting at there maybe.

you know the f100 would not perform under these conditions? why? it bet, it would do the same. btw. why you compare different classes? i am thinking about a switch cause of the dam electronic aperture but your "argument" is quite...well...strange. what's really great is the option to let the leader stick out...lovely. but to be honest...i just use 2 F100...not that expensive, isn't it?

Nikon F100 has better balance fill flash/ambient metering than the 1V. The The AA battery is less expensive but weigh more than lithium. I prefer more expensive CR2 over AA battery for the weight saving. The 1V-HS has a grip that takes AA batteries. You should have compared the Nikon 300mm f2.8 vs Canon 300mm f2.8 for a fair analysis. Your decision is based on your priority to use the same lens between the Z7 and the 1V bodies, nothing do with the inadequacies of the F100.

EOS3 and also EOS30 and 33 will let you rewind with leaving the lead out. Canon is amazing.

Prices of used 1V have shot up dramatically. I bought one that was in mint condition but failed with the dreaded BC error mirror locked up. I had an 1N with the same errors. I sent both the 1N and 1V to a camera repair shop on the east coast. They were able to repair the 1N but the 1V was a loss. I also have an EOS 1 that works beautifully until it doesn't. Should a 1V come up for sale that I think is reasonably priced for me I'll buy it. Until then I have two EOS 1N, an EOS 1, Nikon FM2n and a Canon Sure Shot Supreme as well as a Fujifilm GW690 II medium format. I'm good.

I had a Nikon F100 for many years and sold it. Why did I do that...? Must be my other evil personality twin LOL.

Canon 7e can rewind like 1v

the z lenses are for the z mount obviously they wont work on an f mount body. canon's rf lenses wont work on an ef body lol

well eos 1v is pretty expensive on the same level as let say nikon f5 or f6.

Thanks! Canon is great, but has become so ugly. Puffy. For years, I have used Olympus and Zeiss Ikon for 135. They look like SLR.

Canon EOS 1V HS give you 10 FPS

The Canon eos 1 RS is the best film camera ever made
