Zeiss Ikon Cameras 1926-39 (Hove Collectors Books)

For me this is an excellent book. It is detailed, available (despite the period of coverage), and it was received promptly and in very good condition.

There are many books on camera collecting, but only one, real source in English on pre-World War Two Zeiss Ikon cameras. This is it.Written in a somewhat stilted academic style, this book is never the less filled with information on Zeiss cameras. The high-contrast illustrations are clear, but could have been larger and more detailed. Worse, there isn't any index! It is organized by date and so you have to know when the camera you are interested in was first produced in order to locate it's description. Clearly, the author meant this book to be read cover to cover and not to be used as a reference title to be consulted for a piece of information on one camera at a time.Despite its flaws this is the best title on the subject in English. Recommended.

This book on the prewar Zeiss Ikon cameras is better than the book on the postwar cameras. However, it does try to put too much on too few pages, so you end up with too little information about a lot of cameras.

If you are a collector or looking to acquire one of Zeiss' cameras from that era, then there is hardly another book that covers it better.

Very good condition; information easy to understand and a good over view for getting into zeiss ikon cameras.

Fully up to my expectations- brilliant reference book and history of Zeiss Ikon. Thank You.

Un libro pieno di notizie altrimenti introvabili, che condensa in poco più di 140 pagine la storia delle fotocamere Zeiss Ikon dal 1926 al 1939!Peccato per il formato relativamente "piccolo" che costringe ad usare la lente di ingrandimento, ma i testi sono fondamentali!

È un buon lavoro, che tocca una parte limitata ma importante della storia di Zeiss.
