If your interest is digital photography we can now also supply all the tests published in What Digital Camera. This magazine began in June 1997 and has become one of the leading monthly magazines in the field. There are now more than 400 tests available.
Please judge by the length of the report if it is likely to contain the information you require. Obviously a short report cannot contain the same detailed information as a much longer report but, particularly for older equipment, a little information is better than none.
Test reports are ideal to be downloaded from the Internet as they are only a few pages long. Most test reports since 1998 are now available to be downloaded immediately once we have processed your order.
Please note that if you are ordering both test reports (which you can download) and instruction manuals (which you cannot) we will send all items together by post. If you specifically want to download your test reports please place a separate order for those items.
When downloaded test reports are supplied as black and white or colour PDF files. When sent by post they are supplied as high quality black and white photocopies.
