Chinese Camera Book

[oftheherd]

Well, I was just PMing captainslack about how he and I could be the RFF Chinese camera experts now, since he was kind enough to purchase and send a copy to me. Now go figure, all of you who have since thought to yourselves, "why didn't I PM him first?" Look what I found. I mean, who know?

And if you got home from work, ate, played with the kids and came here to look and saw you missed it, try this:

And because he and I have that little book, I can tell you that this listing:

is a Chinese copy of the Yashica Minister, and the longest running production camera in China.

Now don't you wish you could say that?

Sorry captainslack, I know we thought about making big bucks as the only two Chinese Camera experts, but it probably wouldn't have worked out. 😀 😀

That's OK, dude. Being located in the Eastern US, I doubt our little "make money off Chinese cameras" enterprise would have gotten very far. 😀

Hey,

This genuine Yashica Minister is cheaper than the freight for the Chinese knock off:

I won the book, thanks for the link.

When the original thread about this book was posted a couple weeks ago I knew I was going to get a copy.

I honestly hope I don't start buying Chinese Cameras, I have been able to avoid the FSU bug so far. But I am more than happy to have the book and learn a little bit about the Chinese camera industry and their products. You can never have too much information locked away in the dark recesses of your mind you know. And, of course in this pyramid scheme of a world we live in, I will of course send a % of the fees I charge for my knowledge to you, as of course you are turning over a % to the captain.
