The Bogen name is >used only in the USA > >BTW - are Lino's photos any good? (And are the made with Leica's?) David, Sorry for the mistake. The photos are very nice. There was care taken so that the cameras are all lighted similarly, have similar backgrounds and are photographed at the same angle. There are not any notes about what was used to take the pictures. They also are of very attractive cameras. According to the notes in the front of the book, Manfrotto is a big Leica enthusiast and had badgered Sartorius to compile this edition of the book--he had done a previous edition that covered only screw-mount cameras. This one also covers M and R cameras. It's a very small softcover and a nice little book. There are extensive tables of lens and camera serial numbers and production quantities in the back. There are photos of chrome M4-2 and M4-P bodies in it; other than the commemorative bodies plated with precious metals and clad in the skins of endangered animals, I thought that these were all black chrome. - - Paul
