Oh that's a really good camera. I own the 1n and it's one of my favourite ones to shoot, and when you remove the big battery grip and use a pancake lens it becomes very portable but capable camera!

I've been on the look out for the booster/grip for a while, but they rarely appear affordably. I'd like to get one just for the heft!

It's just hefty AF, but hey, it could be a fun addition

This is my trusty EOS-1, which I somehow wangled for free as it was resting in a cupboard at my university for years. Nobody knew where it came from and it was given to me as nobody wanted it. It's been a trusty companion for a number of years, and despite it being in not the best condition still works like a champion.
Nice lens too! Did that come with it, or is it your own addition?
That's a newer addition I got for my 5DMKiii. I'm yet to shoot film through that lens.
Exciting! What were you using before that then? I also have a 5D (albeit a mk I) that shares lenses with my EOS film cameras.
Just the 50mm F1.8 STM, which is a good performer on the EOS-1. I recently bought the Yongnuo 50mm F1.4 and weirdly works with it just like the 5DMKiii, but doesn't on an EOS 300. I used the 5DMKi for years and was a true workhorse. I've got a lot of respect for that camera.
