I hope he adds a little more information to make his site more  
complete. One point of clarification is where the Elmar infinity stop  
ends. Early Leica Elmars and Hektors had the infinity stop at the 11  
o'clock position where he says only the copy is.

He also omits the original viewfinder frame shape which is stepped  
where the screw is. The later Leica II was changed to what he shows  
as correct only after Leica made the Leica III.

I would have also mentioned that the Leica II does not have a slow  
shutter speed dial.

Everything else he mentions is pretty good.

Thanks for the link.
