EOS 1v has a magnetic strip in there that keeps door in place. 6. viewfinder is way too small and has no high point eye relief. Camera was returned for the full refund. Besides these annoying problems camera left a very good impression. Just inserted the battery, loaded film, attached my favorite 50 mm lens and started to shoot.
Camera is as sturdy as a brick but yet light.
AF is too fast for my kind of photography. I am sure, people do appreciate such responsive AF action, but I am not a papazzi, or sport shooter. All slides came out just great. I ended up with an old EOS 1, which I find superior to EOS 3 in some, but very important for me aspects. It is consistent so I can compensate, but my slides on Kodak E100S turn out just beautifully without any jive.
