The object of this book is to demonstrate to the reader how recent developments have so greatly simplified the enlarging and printing process – particularly in color, which was once the preserve of only the most dedicated amateur. Modern cameras, particularly the 35mm SLR which is now so widely used, have made the taking of the original snapshot simple and reliable. The cameras themselves are capable of producing results of a quality that their owners seldom realize when they rely on mass commercial processing and printing. This book is ideal for the expert and amateur.

Leica M6 - Rangefinder Practice M6 to M1 - Revised edition

Andrew Matheson

Canon has its origins in the 1930s when a designer and businessman came together to produce a Japanese 35mm camera that would rival the famous makes from Germany. Canon rangefinder cameras and lenses subsequently earned a high reputation for innovation and quality in the 1950s and 60s. This achievement was to be repeated with even more resounding success by the Canon SLR camera and lenses which followed. In this Canon Compendium Bob Shell describes all the rangefinder and SLR models, and their lenses and accessories, from a user’s and enthusiast’s point of view. Comprehensive tables of technical data complete this ideal companion for the Canon user and collector.

Shell, Bob

The Leica M system has been with us since 1954. It rapidly became, and has remained the favorite instrument of photographers, especially photojournalists, who, like Henri Cartier-Bresson, seek to ""catch life in the act"", to record ""the decisive moment"". In this Leica M Compendium Jonathan Eastland describes the whole Leica M system from his experience as a professional photographer. He explains how to use, enjoy and get the best out of the cameras and lenses, regardless of age. The latest lenses can be used on the earliest cameras, and vice-versa, and the Visoflex, although no longer made, is now much easier to use with the M6 and its TTL metering. Advice on planning and shooting a story with the Leica and extensive tables of technical data complete this ideal companion for the practical Leica M photographer, as well as for the Leica collector and enthusiast.
