Aihe: [Leica] Erwin Puts'new book. 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.
