    I caught this fantastic shot in the IMAGE today! Is this the original Canon Fi? I had one of these and it was a very dependable camera.

  • Chuck Wickham replied 27 days ago

    The F-1 was my workhorse camera, I have three of them, I used to put three different films in them for different circumstances. They are great cameras.

    Curious about how you froze the moon at 1/8th sec? I always thought youd get some movement at that slow a speed.

    Beautiful image.

  • Chuck Wickham replied 19 days ago

    The moon is moving into the shot so any blur is behind the dome.
