Camera Craftsman - January/February 1958
This January-February 1958 issue of Camera Craftsman provides comprehensive insights into camera repair practices in the United States. Published by the National Camera Repair School in Englewood, Colorado, this magazine serves students, graduates, and friends of the institution.
A major technical feature is the detailed study "Miniature and Precision Cameras" by J. Lipinsky, offering an in-depth engineering analysis of modern precision camera mechanisms and design challenges. This 300-page illustrated work featuring 344 diagrams serves as an essential reference for professional repairmen and manufacturers.
The publication examines the vital role of specialized photographic retailers amid growing competition from discount retailers, questioning the future of independent camera dealers. A field report covers a repair technicians' meeting held in Chicago, while another section highlights the MPDFA's "May Time Is Picture Time" campaign.
The "Reports from the Craftsmen" section features firsthand accounts from active repair technicians and their business strategies. Specialized tools are showcased, including the CircuitTracer, a portable electric circuit tester specifically engineered for camera repair and electronic flash system testing. Practical business insights and product recommendations support camera repair professionals establishing or expanding their operations.
