Canon F1 LAST BODY N HELP.

[Guest]

Right, I have been looking into changing the focusing screen to change my metering method. Well I have got conflicting information on the WEB because some call the parts for new N camera body and after messing around they are for an older version. Could someone point me in the right direction, I do not want a spot metering method but do not want the rectangular box method I presently have. I am looking for the old method of metering from the 70’s and 80’s that was used in the Canon A1, AE1 and EF body’s of old. Anyone out there know what to look for please.

Canon made three meter patterned viewing screens for the F-1N (last version, electronic). You want the A screen (averaging), not S (spot) or P (partial). The A is the prefix, the second letter will be the type of screen (i.e. the "AC" screen = averaging metering pattern with an all-matte surface).
