Retro Camera Buying Guide

A lot has changed since I wrote and published this first volume of what became this guide series. One thing hasn't. I still have the same enthusiasm and joy in photography I had way back at the beginning of the series. I have a lot more knowledge and experience now and occasionally even get close to taking good photographs. That's the thing see. I didn't know a lot when I originally wrote this guide. I had been working in photography since 1982 professionally. Everything I knew pretty much was self-taught. In general that's still true. There's no need for you to do it all by yourself too though. This book and this series are meant to help you get going with the basics fast. Yes OK I tend to relate my own experiences but that too is meant to help you avoid some basic mistakes I made. And perhaps I write in a tad too friendly manner but think of it as sitting down with me to have a friendly talk about a passion we share: Photography!
