2.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting but relatively basic overviews,

This review is from: Camera Maintenance & Repair, Book 2: Advanced Techniques: A Comprehensive, Fully Illustrated Guide (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
Easy to read and interesting, but I think the title of this book is deceiveing. Although the book has good info, it is by no means an "advanced" manual for repairing cameras.Many tips and techniques are just overviews, without specific step by step instructions. I was left longing for more detail. I understand that to cover all the cameras listed in total detail would be an enormous and impractical task, I think it would be a better book if it were to focus more specifically and in more detail on one or two cameras.

This review is from: Camera Maintenance & Repair, Book 2: Advanced Techniques: A Comprehensive, Fully Illustrated Guide (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
Book 1 was more for advanced beginners-intermediates. It covered mostly older, mechanical cameras. This book covers a lot of electronic cameras. Good repair shortcuts for advanced DIY camera mechanics. Not for beginners or those afraid of getting into a camera's innards. I liked it because it helped me fix one camera, thus more than paying for itself. It's not for everyone-it's not a universal book. Neither was Book 1, for that matter. Not useful if your camera isn't covered. VERY useful if it is. Check table of contents carefully before you order.

This review is from: Camera Maintenance & Repair, Book 2: Advanced Techniques: A Comprehensive, Fully Illustrated Guide (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
I had bought a 35mm camera and found that it had problems. I did some research online trying to find probable causes, and the procedures to fix the problem. This book and book 2 helped me fix my 35mm camera. These books were very helpful, not only for basic fundamentals of the 35mm cameras, but there is also a symptom tree that leads you right to the problem and gives you in detail (with lots of pictured illustrations) all the procedures to fix the problem. There is also information on the medium format cameras as well. Very nice books!
