Canon EF
From Camerapedia.org
The Canon EF, introduced in 1973, was the first and last of its kind. It used a Copal Square, a vertically travelling metal-curtain focal plane shutter. It offered shutter speeds from 1/2 to 1/1000 and bulb, which were mechanically controlled, and slow speeds from 1 to 30 seconds which were electronically controlled.
A silicon photocell was incorporated in the design to provide full-aperture, center-weighted averaging TTL metering. The camera offered shutter-priority automatic exposure.
The EF was designed to use the FD-mount lenses, although FL lenses will work with lesser functionality.
