Thanks Ed, bought the lenswork book on your say so, and the site is a good start.do you have their Lenswork books? Those are a good start. They also have their own Canon museum site that has good historical info.
.......Sadly, Peter Kitchingman passed away recently- and his website is gone, but not forgotten by the Wayback.
.....What happened to his website? Did he take it down, or did he change servers?......
Many thanks, just bought a copy on eBayI found the book - Canon - Reflex way - pretty good, it covers the SLRs up to the AE1
Had a look for Long's book, found one for $800!Pick up Peter Dechert's book, "Canon Rangefinders, 1933 to 1968," and Peter Kitchingman's "Canon M39 Rangefinder lenses, 1933- 1971." Both offer a good account of Canon's early history.
Also, Brian Long's "Canon: A Celebration."

Scrounged a copy of Dechert's book, looking forward to burying my head in it.Pick up Peter Dechert's book, "Canon Rangefinders, 1933 to 1968," and Peter Kitchingman's "Canon M39 Rangefinder lenses, 1933- 1971." Both offer a good account of Canon's early history.

Had a look, very slick but has little depth. I am also after sites that offer a well reasoned independent evaluation of the various models.Terry, are you familiar with the Canon Camera Museum site? Google it or look at canon.global
Very extensive timeline of cameras and lenses there.

....... Learned a lot about it from Peter K's site from the Wayback machine, more than anywhere else..........
Hi TerryHad a look, very slick but has little depth. I am also after sites that offer a well reasoned independent evaluation of the various models.
I am looking for some quality books on Canon cameras and the history of the company. Nikon has many by the likes of Robert Rotoloni and others , and there are websites such as Cameraquest for Nikons and one or two other brands, but I cannot find any titles or sites of similar quality about Canon. Can anyone help?

Your "dead" right on that...it was Peter Dechert who passed away in November 2016. I met him once in 2004.Reports on your death have been greatly exaggerated.
Hi FlavioReports on your death have been greatly exaggerated.
