Promotional and Advertising Materials
Like all large companies with a wide product range, Canon has produced a considerable volume of promotional booklets and catalogs. These are usually the first things thrown away when someone opens a new product box in the rush to get to their new lens or camera. However, these can be invaluable sources of information for the collector.
Likewise, Canon has always advertised widely as part of their sales program and these ads, too can be informative. And in looking back at old products, they are enjoyable in themselves.
These are harder to find than instruction booklets because the instructions are often saved while the advertising and promotional material is not considered relevant. But these materials do come along occasionally and when I find them I’ll post them here.

Tamarkin is a Leica dealer in Chicago and every year they have an auction of fine cameras. Although the auctions consist of mainly Leica cameras and equipment some other makes appear occasionally as well. I wait every year to download their Catalogue and spend a pleasant hour wishing and dreaming. Open one of these Catalogue and see what I mean.
The link above takes you to the Tamarkin Website and if you click on the image to the left you will be taken to the page on their website where these excellent catalogues can be seen and read. If you love cameras this is a website you should be familiar with.
