Couple months ago I picked up 30 years old National Geographic 1982 January edition. I was interested in article about the Berlin Wall and was wondering how the Wall was seen back then, long 7 years before its fall. What a fascinating reading!
But, as a photographer and practical collector, I also spotted one camera ad in the magazine and it was the "Wildlife as Canon sees it".
After digging internet I found that, according to
Wikipedia, it was the
FIRST Canon's ad featuring new F-1 in National Geographic. The only other recognizable picture of the camera in that edition was....
Nikon F !
You might ask why I am so exited about seeing old cameras in the old magazine?
Well, I don't know. May be because I realized that some great walls are come and go, and some great cameras just stay forever.
Thanks,
