jim_bielecki1 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 <p>Just click on the article or book you want to download. This should automatically bring up a PDF download page. At least it does on my computer (Mac-Mini running OS X).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwmcbroom Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 <p>Nice find. I've always had a lot of respect for Dechert. I even wrote to hime once, asking if he could identify a Canon rangefinder I owned. He wrote back, politely informing me that it was a IVsb -- a very common Canon RF as it turned out. He sent his reply on a cool-looking postcard with a Canon Hansa on the facing page. That was some 30+ years ago. I've still got it around here somewhere.</p> <p>Too bad his book on Canon Rangefinders isn't among his titles listed. Oh well. I'm still glad to get his book on Canon SLRs. I'm sure he'll have some interesting insights to provide.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_bielecki1 Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 <p>It's a good read. His info and research on the earliest Canon SLR's is better than the later stuff. There are a few errors, suggesting that the FDn lenses were introduced in 1976 along with the F-1n, but, overall, it's the best book you're going to find on Canon 35mm SLR's. Can't beat the price, that's for sure.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
