<p>I do so miss Keppler.</p>

<p>As always, thanks, Marc.</p>

<p>JDM,</p>

<p>I am enjoying reading some of his earlier writings. I remember his columns that I started reading around 1966 but this stuff is new to me.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Keppler's early book on the Single Lens Reflex is still a classic.<br>

The later book on Nikon F is nice too.</p>

 

Interesting. I read the Nikon link. Very interesting. Thanks.

<p>Thanks <strong>Marc</strong>, a great accompaniment to my Sunday morning coffee. The background information on Nikon was fascinating, in particular.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting these, Marc. The Nikon piece is very interesting.</p>

 

<p>I thought that Nikon article would be a good read. Imagine reading it in 1951.</p>

<p>Interesting set of articles. I really appreciate the efforts photographers made to get color images in those days. By the time I started taking photos Kodachrome was ISO 25 rather than 10. I had the convenience of color negative (first Kodacolor-X and later the C41 emulsions). My dad started shooting Kodachrome in 1955 when he bought a Voigtlander Vitessa L. I found the original sale receipt for it. Must have taken a long time to save up since he was working as a linotype operator for the local newspaper. Thanks for sharing.</p>
