Please let me introduce myself.
My name is Tore Sorensen, I am a norwegian, using and collecting Canon cameras, lenses and acceccories. My collection was for some years almost only SLR's, but with one IVSB rangefinder there as well. Reading Canon history, and learning about the different models, I found the rangefinder cameras more and more interesting. Now, I find myself more or less bitten by the rangefinder bug.
I am also a lover of books. I read a lot.....( a lot! ). Reading is an easy way of getting information, and to learn. So, I have been collecting information about the rangefinder cameras and their history, and read it time and time again. I hope some of it sticks! Some books are classics in my opinion. I would like to mention : Peter Dechert's "Rangefinder Cameras 1933-68", Bob Shell's "Canon Compendium", and Brian Long's "Canon a Celebration".
Besides reading about them, I also started buying rangefinders and rangefinder lenses that I could afford. Now, I have a small collection that is slowly growing.
One book I read about before it hit the market, was Peter Kitchingman's "Canon M39 Lenses 1939 -1971. Why I did not buy it right away when it was first available, I do not know.
However, I bought this book, and received it just a couple of weeks ago.
This book is the definitive source of Canon rangefinder lenses, and is absolutely astonishing. It is solidly and beautifully bound, the layout, in my opinion perfect, and high quality photographs of lenses, accessories and cameras abound.
The text is interesting and well written, and you find tables and references as well as an overview of Peter's own lens collection.
This book is really worth the money, it really exceeds my expectations. If you have an interest in Canon RF lenses, this book is for you. It is the definitive reference.
Greetings to you all, from a sunny and beautiful Norway.
