We've been dealing in camera equipment for 50 years and have found this book to be the best reference for 2011 and earlier Hasselblad camera equipment, to the point where we have sold off our other Hasselblad reference books. Note this book was not published with a dust jacket, hardcover only. You will be getting a brand new copy. From the authors website: "The book is a complete revision and update of the Hasselblad System Compendium (288 pages) published in 1998 by Hove Books in England and reprinted (without changes) in 2003. The original book went out of print in 2006.The Hasselblad Compendium is a hardbound book of 368 pages, 8.5 by 11 inch format, printed in grayscale, with 1120 photographs in the text. The book is a description of the history of the company Hasselblad AB and all the products that it has produced (cameras, lenses, accessories). The book is a major upgrade of the 1998 book (the "Red Cover") with much more information and better print quality.Hasselblad cameras were first made beginning in 1949 as the result of the vision of Victor Hasselblad who felt that a high quality modular camera using film larger than 35mm but more convenient than large format sheet film would find ready acceptance by photographers. For more than 60 years Hasselblad has been the standard by which all medium format cameras are judged and has been used by a wide range of photographers from wedding and fashion, portraiture, industrial, scientific and art. Hasselblad cameras received particular recognition as the primary film camera for the NASA space program.This book provides systematic and detailed descriptions of all Hasselblad equipment made up to the beginning of 2011. Included are all the production cameras, lenses and accessories as well a many rare and unusual items. Tables of equipment codes and information on production numbers and dates of manufacture are provided.An included DVD with data files in pdf form (plays on computer only) contains much additional information including instruction books, factory brochures and catalogs, related documents and pdf files of all the photographs in the book – including some in color that are black and white in the printed pages.Note to buyers/owners of this book: There may be a hand written 'code' number below the DVD inside the back cover. The author was at one time considering an internet system to use that code to access additional Hasselblad information but it was never implemented. Book stored in smoke free environment.
