a Former Lady Member of Brentwood & District Photographic Club finally got together some photo gear from her Deceased Husband who died in his Darkroom in 1993..... It included THIS Canon EOS camera and lenses. What a SHAME the EOS 5 has the battery door MISSING and I cannot get it to work by pushing in the 2CR5 battery -- does any Forum member know IF I can get a replacement battery door ? The 2 lenses are : EF Zoom 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 Mk II with missing front lens cap and a Tokina AF 20-35mm f3.5-4.5 with missing front lens cap . Both lenses were FILTHY as is the mirror in the EOS 5 -- I have managed to clean up camera body and lenses. I have on my 'Gift' EOS 1000F N the 'Kit ' lens EF 35-80mm f4-5.6 Mk II --- how does the EF Zoom 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 Mk II compare ? is one more 'Modern' than the other ? I'm NO EXPERT on CANON Gear !
I have a 1000F and a earlier EOS 10, I think they use the same battery and so the battery door covers is very similar. There is quite a few years between each and if the door fits each other then it should be a simple matter of a later model camera , you can use for parts. My suggestion when this virus lock-down is over look around the charity shops, sooner or later no-working canon cameras will come in, I volunteer at Vinnies and lucky me I handle all the camera gear and we get a lot of non-working cameras in, should be the same for the OP shops in your area. If you are a regular visitor there and they get to know you then they may put them aside for you, all the best with it, regards, Craig S.
Thanks for all your help ! the EOS 5 'Battrery Door' is also the right 'GRIP' - it is not same as EOS 1000Fn which takes 2CR5 battery.
