cd thacker Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 For those interested in the Nikon F, here is what looks to be the most comprehensive work ever undertaken on the subject, <a href="http://www.nikon-f.de/index.htm">The Nikon F Book</a>. Written by Uli Koch, a veteran participant in and author of the Nikon Historical Society, the work is divided into three volumes, housed together in a slipcase. Expensive, but probably also the final word on Nikon F. I found out about this at Stephan Gandy's excellent <a href="http://www.cameraquest.com/classics.htm"> CameraQuest</a>.

gary_watson Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Funny, I got the complete 2 vol. Cooper "Nikon-Nikkormat Handbook" off an old friend for $20 recently. Can't imagine what Koch found to stuff into 3 vols., aside from arcana like font changes on the boxes or lists of firms(and their employees)that printed the instruction books 8^).

kelly_flanigan1 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Gary; the 2 vol. Cooper "Nikon-Nikkormat Handbook" sets were not cheap when new. I got the earlier white/brown set; and subscribed to all the updates. Later they introduced the black/yellow version; and I got that; plus all the updates until they stopped making them. The first white/brown set is copyright 1968; 1973; the black set 1973. Their is alot of missing older info; if one just has the black set; or a white set with all the updates. The sheets replaced during an "update" often are richer on info on the ancient lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
