[Leica] Totally OT question about dentists

[SonC at aol.com (SonC@aol.com)]

Indeed; take a look at the brown Accessories book at all the medical  
photography adapters.  Check out page 80 for a real laugh.  Almost  expect 
to see a 
colonoscopy kit.

Leica  made a very early effort to attract --  among others -- dentists and  
eye doctors... The 1935 edition of the "Leica  Manual" by Morgan  & Lester, 
has 
an entire chapter by a dentist [with  close-up  photos of teeth] and a 
separate 
chapter on the Leica as an opthalmic   camera [with close-ups of the eye by 
Dr. 
Ramon Castroviejo, a prominent  eye  doctor.]
The 1951 Edition continues the effort with  a  lengthy chapter by an M.D. 
on medical photography. I believe that  this  trend had much to do with 
Leica's 
serious effort to promote  close-up photography  and its extensive 
production 
of all sorts of  devices for this kind of work. 
Later editions of the Leica  Manual do not appear at first  glance to take 
up medicine as a  separate topic -- bob  cole
