The Collector's Guide To Cine Cameras by John Wade is a superbly presented guide for avid collectors wanting to pursue their specialized hobby on a reasonable budget. Chapters include a detailed history of cine cameras, close studies of specific cine camera types, and a thorough directory of manufacturers. Black and white photographs throughout depict an amazing variety of cine cameras throughout history. The Collector's Guide To Cine Cameras is a very highly recommended, indispensable guide and reference for anyone with an interest in acquiring or identifying a cine camera.

I grew up in the 50's / 60's, had my first Film Camera as a 15year old boy and many more thereafter. The book brings back lots of memories. Some of the beautiful pictures almost put "butterflys" in my eyes...It is written VERY WELL with useful details and interesting stories about the history of Movie Cameras. Like any book, there are some slight discrepancies here and there, but in general it is VERY diligently written and technically interesting and CORRECT.
I love it, it's well worth the price and I recommend it to anyone that was involved in the early (double) 8mm amateur and/or even 16mm pro area..!
