THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF LENSES MADE TO WORK WITH THIS CAMERA.  "Top Gun From Canon: The EOS IX""A high-end piece of hardware for the amateur photographer, the EOS IX packs the performance features of Canon's highly regarded EOS 35mm SLRs. What makes EOS IX really click is that it accepts the full line of more than 50 SLR autofocus (AF) EF-mount lenses, which range from a superwide 14mm and fisheye 15mm to a serious 1200mm super telephoto. Included in the mix are Canon's unique image stabilizing lenses, tele extenders and special tilt-shift lenses. Combine this with the unique benefits inherent in APS, and it's obvious we're not playing in the drugstore blister card camera league."Cliff Gromer, Popular Mechanics MagazineCANON EOS IX Features* Three Picture Formats: There is no longer a limitation of one image  size (aspect ratio) per roll. Formats can be changed as often as desired, and the IX data ensures that photos are printed in the selected size. EOS IX picture formats include  "C" (Classic), "H" (Wide), and "P" (Panorama). * PQI (Print Quality Improvement): Enables the EOS IX to record photographic data  such as scene brightness, flash use and illuminant type (daylight, fluorescent, or  tungsten) on a magnetic strip located at the edge of each frame. Advanced Photo System photofinishing equipment analyzes this data during the developing process to enhance print  exposure accuracy and color balance.* MRC (Mid-Roll Change Capability): Makes it possible to change film easily in  mid-roll without wasting or possibly double-exposing frames. When a partially exposed roll  is reloaded, the EOS IX reads the recorded data and automatically advances the film to the  first unexposed frame. It is easy, for example, to switch to a faster film for nighttime shooting or use separate rolls for different subjects. * FTPM (Fixed Time Printing Mode): Is a unique feature of Advanced Photo System  which allows for more control over the final prints. With FTPM, the recorded IX data  prevent the photofinishing equipment from performing frame-by-frame compensation. The intended results are thus more likely to be reflected in the prints. And, finally, the processed film is returned in the original cartridge which serves as a permanent storage container. The whole set - cartridge, prints and the Index Print (a proof sheet), are identified with matching numbers so there is never any question as to which image is on  which roll. * Wide-Area 3-Point AF: The EOS IX autofocus system is based on Canon's latest generation Multi-BASIS (Based-Stored Image Sensor) technology. Utilizing the camera's three-zone autofocus system, the BASIS system features a cross-type sensor at the center,  coupled with vertical line sensors to the left and right, which ensures perfectly focused  images even when shooting off-center or moving subjects. The wide AF coverage encourages  spontaneous photography with more emphasis on capturing the peak moment. In most shooting  situations, the photographer can simply let the camera automatically select the focusing  point. The user can also manually select any of the three focusing points by pushing the  focusing point selector and rotating the camera's Main Dial. The EOS IX uses a liquid  crystal display overlay on the focusing screen to indicate the focusing points as well as  the C and P print size formats in the viewfinder. * AIM System & Metering: An abbreviation for "Advanced Integrated  Multi-point Control System," AIM is Canon's original multi-point autofocusing and  metering system which links evaluative metering and flash metering to the active focusing  point. It enables the user to concentrate on composition and take better pictures more  easily without having to first place the subject at the center for AF lock. The EOS IX is  equipped with a full range of metering patterns, including 6-zone evaluative, 6.5%  central-area partial and center-weighted average metering. * Comprehensive Exposure Control From Fully Automatic to Metered Manual The key  to maximum creative control with the EOS IX is based around the Command Dial on  the back of the camera next to the LCD display panel. There are five programmed  Image Zone Auto Exposure modes (Full Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close-Up, Sports, Night)  that make it very simple to achieve professional looking results. The Command Dial also  includes five Creative Zone modes (Intelligent Program AE, Shutter Priority AE, Aperture  Priority AE, Depth-Of-Field AE, Metered Manual Mode) which offer the greatest  photographic freedom while maintaining all the benefits of Canon's advanced AE technology.  This extraordinary variety of exposure control options make the EOS IX totally adaptable to  an extremely wide range of shooting situations. * Flash Technology: Simply brilliant, Canon's exclusive E-TTL  (Evaluative-Through-The Lens) flash system automatically measures the combined  ambient/flash illumination using the EOS-IX's 6-zone evaluative metering sensor. This  results in flash photographs that are more naturally illuminated than with any  conventional system, and requires the use of optional Speedlites 380EX or 220EX. The  built-in auto pop-up flash provides excellent exposure accuracy with Canon's 4-zone  3-point TTL system.The camera body is in excellent, MINT condition and it functions perfectly in every way.
