The F6 is the logical conclusion to the original F, with all the bells-and-whistles you&#8217;d expect out of a modern digital SLR, matrix metering, AF-S Support, use of almost all F-Mount lenses from autofocus to AI.

The F-1 is certainly a camera worthy of the title professional as it features a full system of accessories that allowed the photographer to customise the camera to their purpose. Minor updates in 1976 resulted in the F-1n, and a major overhaul in 1981 saw a totally new camera with the same name, or rather the New F-1 or F-1N. The F-1 is always a favourite of Bill&#8217;s when he&#8217;s not out shooting his herd of Nikons.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/48935490697\/in\/album-72157661488973661\/\" title=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 68 - Going Pro\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48935490697_8fbaee5a49_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 68 - Going Pro\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Make: Canon<br \/>\nModel: F-1<br \/>\nType: Single Lens Reflex<br \/>\nFormat: 135 (35mm), 24x36mm<br \/>\nLens: Interchangeable, Canon FD-Mount<br \/>\nYear of Manufacture: 1970-1976 (F-1), 1976-1981 (F-1n), 1981-1994 (New F-1 (F-1N))<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/funwithcameras\/48795764532\/\" title=\"Auto Train Rolling Through Oakville Station\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48795764532_36eb7dbe39_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Auto Train Rolling Through Oakville Station\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canon F-1 &#8211; Canon Lens FD 50mm 1:1.4 S.S.C. &#8211; Ultrafine Xtreme 400 &#8211; Kodak HC-110 Dil.

And despite the fact, we love our professional cameras and these days you can pick up certain older professional cameras on the cheap. But when it comes to shooting professionally, first off it&#8217;s all about your attitude more than the gear. First and foremost you have to remember that you&#8217;re shooting for your client, not for yourself. Now the client has probably hired you because they like your style and methods so that gives you a bit of latitude. And to do that you need to build up that style and brand by going out there and building your portfolio. Now there is the temptation to duplicate what others have done and while that&#8217;s okay initially you need to start expressing your own vision and view of the world. And most important ignore those so-called &#8216;influencers&#8217; on Social Media, you are your own photographer first and foremost. You need to sell and experience more than a final product, so not only does your attitude matter so does your appearance to the client matter and your actions while on the job. Ensure you have both a contract and a price that both parties have agreed upon, know the situation beforehand, know the clients beforehand. In the end the medium doesn&#8217;t matter, if you love film, sell that fact and be sure you know exactly what you&#8217;re doing.
