evening folks
Headed back overseas for 5+ years and want to take a used 35mm, due to the prices here. Have a choice between a EOS1-V for 850$, no battery pack, and a EOS 1-N w/E1 for 600$
Used for, in order of priority, aircraft telephoto 70-400 range. Evening and lower light aircraft shots, med tele.
Why am I buying?, to diversify and as backup to 20d and 300d. Middle East has no used stuff, and never had L glass quality with my AE-1. Curious to compare.
Any comments welcome, any reason to still use film?
cheers, Pete

The 1V is substantially newer and more advanced.. and the price difference is not a lot in the examples you have found. I'd grab the 1V. I've seen 1Ns sell for under $500.00
