Camera Craftsman - September/October 1966
This September-October 1966 issue of Camera Craftsman presents comprehensive insights into the evolving landscape of photographic repair services. Editor Samuel L. Love's opening essay provides penetrating analysis of how independent repair shops must adapt to mass merchandising trends and declining personal service culture in the photography industry. Love examines the challenges facing servicemen as manufacturers develop increasingly sophisticated equipment and market dynamics shift.
Key features include a substantial article titled "From Flashpowder to Electronic Flash," tracing the technological evolution of photographic lighting systems. The issue covers NCRS diploma ceremonies honoring newly qualified technicians and reports on the National Camera Exhibits tour at the NAVA Show in Richmond and Asheville. Technical content includes an extensive review of the Compur 000-X shutter (Model 1916-001), detailing its intricate mechanisms and operational characteristics with detailed photography.
The classified sections list significant job opportunities across major markets including Detroit, Kansas City, New York, California, and the tri-state Delaware region, reflecting strong demand for qualified camera repair technicians. Additional sections cover "The Dark Side of the Shutter," Service Notes, recent graduates, and reader correspondence addressing real-world repair challenges and solutions.
