I like Ivor Matanles stile, it's a very personal book and offers a personal view of someone with a lot of experience and a heart for fine photographic tools of the past. Illustrated by his pictures, very pleasant ones by the way, it helped myself - a collector & user of today, to find his tool. I underline the word tool, as the author sees the camera as a tool to make good pictures and not as a kind of inverstment for prestige, sometimes found in Leica+ collector circles.
A very worthy book, the second volume about SLR is as pleasant as the first one.
