Nice! Two Canon New F-1’s with AE Motor Drive FN’s are what I dragged around back in the film days as a photojournalist. There were not many of us Canon guys at that time - Nikon massively dominated the pro markets and I was one of only two newspaper photographers in the whole state of Oregon that did not shoot Nikon.
Yes, I remember those times well.
Back then, I always wanted a Nikon F3, but even before buying my New F-1, I was already too heavily invested in the FD system with expensive lenses and an A-1.
That was also a major factor in my decision to go with Nikon when I finally got a mirrorless system.
