Canon 1v Review

(excerpts from my blog)

Introduction to the Canon EOS-1V

"When it was released in the year 2000, it was the greatest film camera ever made. In 2019... It is the greatest film camera ever made.

OK, perhaps claims of it being the best is somewhat debatable. Some may argue that Nikon’s f5 of 1996 was up there with the Canon 1V. But one thing is for sure, the Canon 1v represents the pinnacle of professional sports film cameras. It was the end of an era; The end of the line for flagship film cameras. It would be just two years later that Canon would release the digital 1D. We face something similar today in which the upcoming (yet to be announced) Canon 1DX iii, will likely bookend the legacy of the EF mount DSLR. I suspect we will see an RF mount version based on it within the next two years of its release.
For any film shooter with existing EF glass, the 1V is a must own piece of equipment.

Conclusion

For any film shooter with existing EF glass, the 1V is a must own piece of equipment.

If you’re a working professional photographer shooting a mix of film and digital, throw it in your bag and effortlessly swap between the two without the need for separate lenses.

If you want a professional grade film camera that reliably gets the job done with the modern features you’ve come to love and rely on, then the Canon 1V will feel right at home, all while delivering top notch image quality from your pro lenses.

In the digital age, the best film camera of 2000 will stay the best for the foreseeable future. Do yourself a favor and get one now. "
