Book Synopsis
(Black & White edition)
This edition of the book is not for sale. This is not a commercial project and there was no goal of obtaining financial benefits. Several copies were published by print-on-demand, for a limited number of specialists: historians and collectors of photographic equipment. The costs of the new owners include only printing and postage.
Originality of the book “Collection of Chinese cameras” is 95%. Since the book was translated for readers in Russian, the corresponding adaptation and explanations were carried out.
Some inaccuracies were corrected, both in technical terms and in spelling - in Cyrillic and Latin. In addition to the main material (Wang Shiyuan's book), additional clarifying materials from other sources that were not published in Russian were included in this book.
