The Canon Library
Collecting cameras leads to all kinds of printed material: Instruction Books, Advertisments, Registration Forms, Boxes, even original Bills of Sale. So what do you do with this stuff? Well, my Canon Library is the answer. These are good sources of information and instruction and they are part of the back story to any collection. So, like the cameras, when I come across this stuff, and it does not offend copyright (with the possible exception of Canon’s – but look at the free advertising they get!) or trade on the work of another, I will scan and post these things right here in the Library. Again, I caution you to be patient. I am creating this site live on the internet so you can watch every step and view incomplete pages. It is easier for me and keeps you the more up to date.

This Booklet was actually a 7″ x 14″ sheet of very thin paper that came folded up in the box with the Canolite D. I have scanned and formatted it as a PDF booklet.
Canon Promotional Material
This Canon publication is a bit of history, a bit of self promotion, a lot of photographs, and a thoroughly good read.
This Canon publication is an advertisement and a discussion of Macro Photography showcasing Canon macro equipment. It is dated but very interesting.
Advertisments
This is an ad for the Canonflex placed by Scopus/Brockway Inc., the company that managed Canon’s US distribution before Bell and Howell took it over.

I’ve noticed here in Vancouver that a local chain of camera stores, Kerrisdale Camera, carries used cameras and has some very collectible items. Drop into their store on Lonsdale in North Vancouver and meet the store manager, Will Stiphout. He is a camera collector himself and very helpful. Will is more than willing to help you find something old or get you the latest in a new camera.
