Film Gear: A film photographers guide to analog cameras

Many photographers have (re-)discovered the joy of analog photography recently. This book is helping with the choice of a practical camera for people who intend to use it! It’s based on the personal experience of the author, who has used all the 85 cameras discussed in the book. The choice of cameras is focused on the models worth owning and using today - mostly SLRs - and not on a representative overview of the market. Practical advantages and disadvantages of each camera are discussed, including tips on simple repairs and potential technical issues (which is an important topic with cameras typically 30 years old...). In addition, the book covers practical tips on the best use of film in general, on scanning negatives in an efficient way as well as the basics of film development. Read more
