Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 7x8x10; Matanle defines "classic cameras" as those 35mm or rollfilm cameras produced by any of the great manufacturers during the golden age of miniature camera development from the mid-1920s to the late 1960s. Passionate on the subject of their enduring fascination and quality performance, he offers practical information on specific models and manufacturers such as Contax, Leica, Hasselblad, Voigtlander, and Rolleiflex. Advice concerning condition and reliability of particular models, evaluation of styles and features for individual needs, comparison of original market values in pounds and dollars, and detailed information on the manufacture of lenses and accessories.

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.
