Promos and Advertizing
Canon Promotional Material and Advertizing
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.
