For those who don't remember, Roiter published in the 70's a splendid "Essere Venezia" (spelling?) which was one of the biggest European success of all times among photo books. Roiter uses exclusively Leicas, mostly R it seems. In this book he explains the circumstances in which he made each picture, the choices he had to do and the idea he wanted to develop. An extraordinary lesson. And a wonderful example of what Leica lenses are able to produce (though Jay Maysel I love too uses Nikon, if I remember). I don't know if this book has been published in English but I advise you to get it if ever your read French. - -- Jean-Claude Berger (jcberger@jcberger.com) Systems and RDBMS consultant (MCSE) Lyon, France http://www.jcberger.com
