I only see a thin rubber-type strip on the body at the door hinge, and the top and bottom groove seals on the body. I see no seal(s) at all on the latch end of the door. Does the F1 have this simple of a sealing system, or is the camera missing some seals? I'm wondering if I really even need the F1 since I already have two FTb's and an AE-1 Program, but I don't see too many "pro" level bodies, so I may want to keep it around. It it THAT much better than an FTb, other than the shutter speeds going to 2000 on the F1? I mean, I know the F1 takes a lot of accessories that the FTb doesn't, but I don't see buying a bunch of accessories for it just because they fit the camera.
