Just to say that an old Canon FTb is almost as good (and 
perhaps better) than an F-1. 

Beter in the sense that I was not afraid to wrap a plastic
supermarket-type produce bag around it and take it to the edge
of the Gulf Coast with crashing surf and spray. I'd think twice
before using my F-1 like that, and consequently lose more 
opportunities. My FTb has been in Southwestern thunderstorms,
desert, seaside, etc...
