Rather rare, and was only available in Japan from Canon Personal Equipment (item CPE-AC003A).

The Canon Soft Shutter Release screws into the shutter release thread on an F-1 (or other similarly-threaded camera such as AE-1, A-1 etc.), and provides a pleasing "soft" feel without the thread hole on one's fingertip. It is designed with the old-style "C" of Canon on top, and originally was painted black with a white "C". Some of the paint has worn away, uncovering the sold shiny metal underneath. This could be left as is, showing quite an attractive patina with a story, or could be stripped back to solid metal for a different look.

However you decide to use it, very few others will have one of these on their camera.

Tested on an F-1 original (works on New F-1 too), as per photo. Camera not included! Lovely to use.

I offer combined postage for multiple items, and have a lot of older Canon accessories, beautiful hoods, filters, lenses, bodies, and pretty much every Canon cap you could want. To take advantage of this, please check out in a single basket or contact me before paying.
