Brings back memories

Was just sorting out some papers in the spare room and found this from 1982 when I was using a AE-1.

A good nostalgic find, thanks for sharing I particularly like shadowy image with clever use of a crisp laser.

Cheers,

That brings back memories. 1982 was the year I left Practical Photography magazine to set up Club Canon - the forerunner of EOS magazine (first published in 1993). I wrote the handbook as a free incentive to encourage subscriptions to the club. It seemed to work and we still have some photographers who have subscribed continuously for over 30 years.

Wow, I had no idea. So that'll be 35years of Canon publishing this year. Excellent work Robert!
