SLR Cameras by William Hansen Order from amazon.co.uk (not available from amazon.com) McKeowns Price Guide to Antique and Classic Cameras 2001-2002 In our opinion, this is the best price guide available for the antique and classic camera market. The new edition is now out and the picture quality has been enormously improved. It has 782 pages, a comprehensive and large index and other information including the all-important McKeown's Law - The price of an antique camera is entirely dependent upon the moods of the buyer and seller at the time of the transaction. This is more than just a price guide however - there is useful information given about each camera to aid identification.
