3.0 out of 5 stars
Latest Edition -- Lacks Technical Editing,
By
This review is from: NIKON System Handbook, 6th Edition (Paperback)
This latest edition of the "Nikon System Handbook" is really starting to irritate me. First of all, many of us who have bought and read any of Moose's books pretty much know that he's a bought and paid for Nikon agent, but this edition seems to lack any sort of quality control whatsoever. I routinely find technical errors on nearly every page. With some of the lens descriptions he's merely plagiarized Nikon's factory spec sheets and descriptions but he never bothers to put them into current year context. If you are basing lens and camera buying decisions upon Moose's comments, keep in mind that Moose is not that long with his Nikon experience, and guess who's PAYING for those lenses? His standard phrasology of this and that lens being "tack sharp" gets boring and is frankly inaccurate. If Moose would actually READ his own book I would think that he would surely see the inaccuracies that he's spreading around. If you want more accurate Nikon equipment reviews (...)buy anything from Peter Braczko, e.g., the Nikon Pocket Book. Bjørn is not a paid Nikon field agent,--he's a Norwegian outdoor photographer with some of the best practical experience with things Nikon. Moose is a babe in the woods by comparison.

Absolutely first rate...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NIKON System Handbook, 6th Edition (Paperback)
This is the one book to have if you own a Nikon camera. I can't think of a single thing that is not covered in detail here, and with clarity often missing from the factory manuals. The lens section is the real gem...far superior to the Magic Lantern series Nikon Lens book, which is very incomplete. I have both, and when I want lens information, I turn to The Nikon System Handbook. It has every lens in it, as far as I can tell, and every different model of every lens, to boot! (The Nikon Lens book just sits there on the shelf.) Buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Indispensable Resource for Nikon Buyers and Sellers,
By
This review is from: Nikon System Handbook (Paperback)
This book (I've got the 5th Edition, and am odering the 6th - May 2000) is an indispensable reference for anyone who collects, uses, buys or sells Nikon lenses, cameras and accessories. Use it to find out about an item you see offered on eBay, or use it to write about the item you want to sell. Use it to learn about a Nikon item you have no owner's manual for, or use it to figure out which part of the Nikon system you want to buy next. (Disclaimer. I use only Nikon cameras -have owned 10 of them, so far, and mostly Nikon lenses, though I have owned 3 Tokinas - but Moose likes them, too.) Book is well organized and very readable.
