Canon EF with FD 50mm f/1.4 SSC |
November 1973, Canon introduce a
wonder camera. Called Canon EF, this camera's main feature was the
first and last of its kind. It was the Copal Square, a
vertical-travel, metal-curtain, focal-plane shutter. The camera's specifications and ease of use were ideal for all aged users, in all weather. Just press the shutter button for shutter speed-priority TTL automatic exposure. A silicon photocell was used for full-aperture centerweighted averaging metering. Fast shutter speeds from 1/2 sec. to 1/1000 sec. and bulb were mechanically-controlled while slow speeds from 1 sec. to 30 sec. were electronically-controlled. Without batteries, the camera still function in full manual from 1 second to 1/1000. |
