A foretaste. >I had the great chance (and honor) to read an almost final >version of Erwin Puts new book. >(The Leica Lens Compendium will be available first during >the Photokina, in September.) > >This will be the book that every Leica enthusiast will want >to have. >Definitively a keeper and a collectible. >You will find a report about (almost) every lens made by or >for Leitz/Leica since the Anastigmat of 1925, with lens >diagram (some unknown until now), in the great Erwin tradition. > >Chapter about the evolution of Leica lens with a lot of >information never found elsewhere before. >Information about optical design and aberrations, bokeh, >manufacture, serial number, production dates etc. >And a lot of other topics often discussed on the LUG/LEG. > >I have to say that it was the first time that I learned so >much about Leica in a new book since a long long time. >And its the best researched book about Leica lens that I >ever read. >You will not find those information repeated without >verification that you can find in some other Leica books. > >The Leica user and also the Leica lover (often the same) >will be equally happy with it. >Only those who prefer legend than facts will be less pleased >with the book. >;-) > >I look forward to be at the Photokina to see the final >version with all its illustrations, and to discuss it with >my great friends. > >Lucien
