Collector's Notes

As the camera that defined Canon's modern EOS ergonomic layout and standard-setting pro body design, the original EOS-1 holds a special place in 35mm film photography history. Many surviving examples suffered heavy wear from professional photojournalism use. Finding a pristine, fully working body complete with its original factory packaging box is increasingly rare and highly sought after by film photography enthusiasts and Canon collectors alike.
