I've just gotten myself an old (1972) Canon F1 and flash kit from a relative that's missing one particular part.

It's the shoe that slips over the rewind. Apparently, it's a part that regularly goes missing on these, and it does show up on ebay, but I was wondering if anybody might happen to have one to hand they'd be willing to sell or trade for cash in hand.

If I got the flash going I'd have a real old-style setup, and I do enjoy using old machinery, especially since so many people do seem to enjoy it.

Also. The lens alone is heavier than the entire Spotmatic I brought back from Japan. It hits the table like a solid paperweight but has around a thousand moving parts inside it. It's brilliant!
