Retro Cameras: The Collector's Guide to Vintage Film Photography Hardcover – Illustrated, April 17, 2018
Enhance your purchase
An accessible, stylish guide to still-usable vintage film cameras: which to buy, where to find them, and how to get the most out of them
Retro Cameras is a stylish guide for a generation that has moved from sharing vintage-filtered digital images via Instagram to embracing “old school” analog film photography and manual cameras of all formats. Quick reference shooting guides accompany each camera type, allowing even a camera phone junkie to quickly come to grips with shooting on film with a vintage camera. More than 100 camera models are included, from 35mm SLRs to Roll Film SLRs and Instant Cameras.
With over 400 specially commissioned photographs, an in-depth test drive of each camera type, practical advice on how to use and get the most out of each camera, buyers’ tips, and a dedicated glossary, Retro Cameras is a perfect reference for amateurs and professionals alike.

This book is an excellent reference for camera collectors and repair/service technicians. Well worth the price
for the coffee table, book shelf or camera shop. David C.
Note: the photographic images are of high quality much better than most other publications.

My only issue is the rear part of the cover was damaged along the edge although there was no damage on the postal package so assume it was damaged prior to sending. Happy to retain the book but would have sent it back if it was for someone else.
