This review is from: Collector's Guide to Rollei Cameras (Hardcover)

This book has general informations about all cameras produced by Rollei before '80s. But more recent Rollei cameras are not in this book, e.g. Rollei 35 Classic. If you are a beginner into Rollei, it provides general information. If you need detailed information, this book may be not enough!

This review is from: Collector's Guide to Rollei Cameras (Hardcover)

I found this guide very helpful in identifying the various Rolleiflex models from one another. For example, Mr. Evans gives you enough information to easily determine dates, features etc. in order to tell a 3.5 Rolleiflex MX EVS (type 1) from a (type 2). He also includes just enough history about Franke & Heidecke and the Rollei Werke to make it interesting without straying too far away from the main purpose of the book. There are plenty of photos as well to give you a visual idea of what each model looks like. While he doesn't attempt to set pricing on the cameras, which would be both useless and nearly impossible to do anyway, he does list the original price for each camera/lens option which I found interesting. This book is not a operation manual, nor was it meant to be. Finally, the smallish overall size of the book makes it easy to pack along with you as a quick reference should you happen to go out rollei hunting.
