[Leica] Erwin Puts new Leica Compendium

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

Actually Erwin does a lot of 'real' photography with the equipment as 
well. The main problem is that English is not his first language and 
in the end that shows in this book as well, although he has obviously 
worked on it diligently. Still, there are indications that this 
project was probably just a bit larger than he could reasonably 
handle on his own.

I just go my copy today as well, and only had a chance to skim it a bit.

I hardly think it will help me take pictures, but then I'm interested 
in a wide range of topics, and the technical and historical aspects 
of photography are thoroughly dealt with in this book.
