This book from 1997 is also only available in German, but can be translated using Google Translate on a smartphone, for example.

It introduces various 35mm cameras, lenses as well as accessoires and gives useful practical tips for checking and caring for used cameras.

The book was written during the heyday of analog cameras and is therefore very close to the topic.

Original in German

Example of a translation with Google Lens (part of Google Translate) using the camera on the iPhone.

From my point of view as a native German speaker, this is a very good translation result. „Needed“ in the title stands for „second hand“.

Idiomatically I think "Gebraucht" could translate directly to English as "Used."

Thanks for the tip! I found a copy via Amazon USA for 5 USD, and while I was at it, I ordered a couple of Japanse-language "history books":
