-=1D Classic Lovers !!!

I sold mine when I switched from Canon to Nikon, Pentax and Sony. Wish I could have kept it due to the fact I took some great photos with it but time marches on. Please post some photos though, I still like seeing images taken with the ccd of that camera.

Well, sharing information then perhaps? I was just thinking the other day using the 7d that I had never actually looked into the history of Canon digital cameras. Pentax I know but the only reason I even started buying Canon equipment was because I stumbled on a supposedly non working ef100mm macro a number of years ago and bought it for next to nothing. I made an adapter so I could mount it on a Pentax Q camera to see what it would do macro wise with the 10s small 5.6x sensor.

Anyway, I noticed that one of the contacts on the lens was corroded a little and cleaned it off and figured I'd get a cheap Canon to see if it was really that easy, so bought a 10d that looked hardly used cheap and discovered that there was nothing wrong with that lens. Started using it and decided I sort of like Canon stuff. Anyway, fast forward to now and after reading up decided that I had to get a 1d because that is where it started. Looked for a nice looking cheap one and ended up buying this one. Looks like brand new, works great and my first click made 5002.

Since I started in Pentax, ME Super SE and K1000, I stuck with them. Love my K1 for low light non flash shooting. It amazes me every time I use it. Stumbling on to Canon by accident though, it seems I favor it for anything in the long lens area, and as soon as I read that the 1d had a ccd sensor, that was it, had to have one.

Speaking of Nikon, my son uses that brand. Just found him a like new 7200 with a less than 2K shutter count.

I would have kept my 1D classic if it were not for the batteries.

I sold my 1D classic and 1Ds classic bodies due to the batteries. The 1DIII is my new "classic" 1D body with a modern battery.

I really did like my 1D classic and the 1Ds RAW files though!

Very best,

I wish I knew enough about batteries to modify a tray to accept Lithiums, better yet, disposable Lithiums...

Mine finally died and will not power up , Still have a mint 1Ds and a 1DmkII .

You’ve tried replacing the clock/backup battery. It’s a while since I last did mine - should be something like a cr2032 or a cr2025.

Just a thought...

I've been looking to get a 1D, and relive those magic moments from a very capable body I once owned years ago...

Just picked up an original 1D and I'm looking for a download for the 1.40 firmware. Does anyone have a link ?
