It's a relic. If you're not willing to try servicing, get a late model low/mid range film Canon body, likely cheaper than an iffy repair anyway. Sadly, lots of the old stuff, especially the cheaper models, are disposable in 2024.Mine functions as it should. However the shutter speed dial is hard to turn. A touch of alcohol loosens it up, but it gets hard again. Note… this model will function mechanically without the battery on shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/1000 second. Have to use hand meter or sunny 16.
I believe mine simply needs cleaning and lubrication.
Is it fully functional ? Theres no reason for CLA. If it aint fix, dont broke it.No response??
The EF is no ordinary old clunker. It was the pinnacle before Canon decended into the A-series, which are cameras to which your remark most definitely applies.I don't think those cameras are worth spending any money on.

The meter pattern alone marks it as an amateur snapshot camera.The EF is no ordinary old clunker. It was the pinnacle before Canon decended into the A-series, which are cameras to which your remark most definitely applies.
