Canon F-1's with FL-F Fluorite lenses
These were the world's first lenses using artificial Fluorite elements They were marketed mid-1969, aiming at professional photographers. However, it took Canon until 1971 to announce their first professional camera, the F-1. Although the lenses still have the older FL mount, they are fully usable on FD mount camera bodies, such as the F-1. For the record, the back camera is an original F-1 whereas the front camera is a F-1N, the slightly improved model that came out in 1976. Both the lenses and the cameras are still fully functional.
