Camera Craftsman - 1978
This comprehensive index spans ten years of Camera Craftsman magazine (1969-1978), serving as an essential reference tool for camera repair technicians and restoration enthusiasts. The index catalogs over 500 technical articles and maintenance procedures, systematically organized by manufacturer and camera model.
The compilation covers an extensive range of prestigious brands: Canon, Nikon, Leica, Pentax, Olympus, Minolta, Mamiya, and Hasselblad, alongside specialized motion picture manufacturers including Beaulieu, Bolex, and Eumig. Each entry identifies the article type (Feature, Sub-Feature, Technical Forum, Data Exchange, and others), volume number, and page count.
Articles address diverse technical disciplines: complete camera disassembly procedures, light meter calibration and adjustment, shutter repair and regulation, diaphragm blade cleaning, component replacement, mechanism modification, as well as specialized topics including electronic circuit analysis, electronic flash systems, specialty lens design, and optical performance testing methodologies.
This index represents an invaluable reference resource for quickly locating specific repair information, whether seeking detailed disassembly procedures, troubleshooting guides for common failures, or technical specifications across multiple camera systems and eras.
