I think you would find the reading of one of Eastland's books to be an excellent experience. I'm glad he's not technically perfect, he's a doer and an artist. We all saw his slideshow at the LHSA thing Octover in Boston. It's the TONE the matters in books even such "handbooks" sometimes called "compendiums" not the picky picky itemization of information. Like Edward Westons Daybooks… From the USE of the equipment this man has forgotten more about Leica than we'll ever know. Lack of perfection is a prerequisite, who can stand that?
