4.0 out of 5 stars "must-have" for Canon camera collectors, January 20, 2005

Frank Mech@lhoff (Taunus) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Canon Rangefinder Cameras 1933-68 (Hove Collectors Books) (Hardcover)

A very detailed description of the early Canon camera history ("Leica copies") with technical details, dates and pictures of each model. Probably the best research work ever can be expected from a private author. A little less on lenses: some pictures, reports but not detailed. Nice to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for Canon Rangefinder collectors, February 26, 2008

Jerry Zillier (Bismarck ND USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Canon Rangefinder Cameras 1933-68 (Hove Collectors Books) (Hardcover)

There is so very little information available on the Internet, or other sources, about Canon Rangefinder cameras, making this book by Peter Dechert a MUST for the collector. Considering Seiko Kogaku's manufacturing records were either lost during or after the war, and probably were never very accurate to begin with, this research information is invaluable.
