[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I recently received my copy of Non-Leitz LEICA Thread-Mount Lenses by Marc James Small. I am very happy with it. In a remarkably concise space he has covered what he set out to and included much interesting material that is left out of other collector books. For instance, conversion of older lenses on an individual basis being much more common in the days of lower labor costs, ramifications of the territorial settlement of Germany after the war, and the post war American fair trade laws. Congratulations, Marc, a fine book! BTW, I ordered mine from a distributor, Silver Pixel, who wholesale through Saunders to camera stores. Even though they began to catalog the book back when I first heard about it (last year?) and expected to ship in Feb., it arrived only last week. Marc- has the book been available through other channels before this or is it only just now reaching retail outlets? Nick Hunter
