What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The very scarce first edition. 

With the very scarce original dust wrapper, unpriced.

A terrific guide to using the Contax, from a pioneer of the device, H. Freytag, who offers plenty of first hand experience throughout. 

Chapters advise on the basics of the Contax, optical equipment, films and filters, various fields of photography ranging from animals to night photography, portraits and more. 

Illustrated with many examples of photography throughout, including two full page images in colour.

Condition

In the original cloth binding. With the original dust wrapper, unpriced and unclipped. Externally, very smart, with a minor damp stain to the rear board and slight bumping to the extremities. Dust wrapper is edge worn, with a chip and closed tear to the head of the spine. A second closed tear to the front and handling marks to the wrap. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean, with a few spots to the endpapers.

Very Good Indeed
