The time has come, I have released a book! They say everyone has a book inside them, I didn’t realize it would take blood sweat and tears to extract it, but thanks to the patience and guidance from the wonderful people at Chronicle Chroma my book is finally here. Film Camera Zen, a guide to finding the perfect film camera.

This book is for everyone, from the novice to the grizzled old collector. Some cameras you might know, some you might not. This is by no means an exhaustive guide, but more a guide to the cameras I think are great, with some stories and anecdotes chucked in for good measure. Plus, it is a gorgeous hardback with lovely pictures, so it is perfect for your coffee table.

Film Camera Zen

The must-have guide for any camera collector, avid film photographer, or novice creative seeking advice on what camera to choose and how to get started purchasing and collecting.

Film Camera Zen is a carefully curated guidebook by Bellamy Hunt, the founder of Japan Camera Hunter and sought-after expert in all types of analog cameras and their histories. From European brands such as Leica and Hasselblad to Japanese makers Nikon, Canon, Pentax, and Minolta, Hunt provides all the technical knowledge needed to enable the best purchase, including:

• Technical capabilities
• Focus options

Like vinyl records and vintage watches, film cameras have captured the imagination of a new generation who are rediscovering them as collectibles and as an alternative to camera phones. The beauty of the cameras themselves, acquiring the skill to use them, and the photographic results offer a uniquely rewarding experience in the digital age. Film Camera Zen is the perfect guide for getting started and enjoying the process of learning, acquiring, and mastering the classic analog camera.
