Product Description
The Asahi Optical company rightly claimed that the history of Pentax cameras is the history of the 35mm SLR. More than any other manufacturer, Asahi has been responsible for the 35mm SLR becoming the universal camera for all serious amateurs and many professionals. They pioneered many of the technical advances that make the SLR the near perfect instrument it is today. This story is told by Danilo Cecchi through the many models produced during nearly forty years.

A deep history
The history of Pentax DSL on a deep way, so sad it ends 1989, would be nice an update to this book beyond 1989 to include the last film cameras and the news digital SLR.
