Camera Craftsman - January/February 1980
This January-February 1980 issue of Camera Craftsman delivers comprehensive technical content for technicians and photography enthusiasts. The flagship feature covers National Camera's hands-on workshops, concentrating on three essential cameras: the Pentax ME with zoom lenses and the Canon AE-1. These practical workshops provide detailed guidance on maintenance, modifications, and repair procedures specific to these widely-used models.
The issue also presents Neil Lewbel's detailed article on repairing the Kako 77, complemented by the first installment of a two-part series on the Minolta XD-11 by Larry Lyells, likely covering internal mechanics and technical specifications.
What distinguishes this issue is its thorough industry analysis. The "American Photo Industry Keeps Growing" section examines trends in the American photographic market using data from the Gross National Photo Product and the Wolfman Report. It explores camera sales evolution, consumer preferences, and growth prospects for the photographic industry in the coming years.
A comprehensive index covering articles from 1969 to 1979 rounds out this issue, making it an essential reference for both technical repair information and market intelligence.
