Canon F1

Canon F1 with 300 mm lens: an incredible piece or precision machinery. The block on top is a Servo EE Finder. The Servo EE finder gave the F1 shutter priority automatic exposure. A servo mechanism in the finder drove the aperture lever on the lens, stopping it down to the correct value.

The thing hanging at my waist is the battery pack which is connected to the Servo finder by the curly cord.

All that and it is well under 10 pounds in weight.

You lost me at the Servo EE Finder... i suppose you carry this as opposed to wrist weights when walking? While it is now something of a curio it is the logo on your teeshirt that grabs all the attention-daily beverages, home cooked meals...what's that all about?

And don't forget the exotic entertainment! Makes a great kitchen picture.
