5.0 out of 5 stars A concise description of 6 classic Nikon cameras., November 6, 1998

By	Robert F. Leonard (Manomet, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Magic Lantern Guides Classic Series: Nikon Classic Cameras, Vol. 2 For F2, Fm, Em, Fg, N2000, N2020nd El Series (Paperback)

B. Moose Peterson has written a technical but clear summary of the features of 6 older Nikon cameras. In addition to descriptions of the F2, FM, EM, FG, N2000, and N2020 models, he has included complete instructions on the operation of each respective model. Although obviously a fan of Nikons, the author has conveyed an objective summary of the various models. An excellent reference book for collectors or first time buyers of one of these cameras who needs a "how to" manual. Illustrated with sharp photos of each model.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for collectors or "classic" photographers, December 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Magic Lantern Guides Classic Series: Nikon Classic Cameras, Vol. 2 For F2, Fm, Em, Fg, N2000, N2020nd El Series (Paperback)

I dunno, some folks just have to "dis" every Magic Lantern book that comes out - this one is great for anyone who has or plans to find an older Nikon. I recently got a FG as a "bargin", when I got out this book I found out everything the dealer didn't know! I also used this book to "fix" the self-timer on a F2. Do not buy or use any of these Nikons until you read this book - it can save you time & $$$. Moose, I've got a beer with your name on it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome information, May 28, 2002

By	Craig Clarke (New England) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Having grown up on Instamatics, Discs, and the like, I yearned for a "real" camera. I received a Nikon Nikkormat for Christmas and was suddenly struck with my lack of knowledge. Luckily, I came across this book on Amazon and ordered it immediately.

It's a bit pricey, since only a small section (app. 20 pages) pertains to my particular model, but priceless in terms of my now knowing how to operate my camera efficiently. A welcome addition to my library.
