Leica M Cameras
Can anyone recommend a good book about the Leica-M series of cameras?
M3 through to MP etc. |

Hi Keith
As a recent convert to Leica M I found Brian Bowers books useful. I am not into LPM charts and all that stuff so found these probably the most used. Another is Gunter Osterloh. Again a book I can just dip in and out of. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leica-Photog...ds=brian+bower http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leica-Lens-B...ds=brian+bower http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leica-Advanc...ywords=leica+m They all come up on the auction site quite regular. Regards Steve |

Unfortunately Gunter Osterloh's fine volume does not cover the MP as it was published before the latest MP was produced (2003). When I got my MP in 2006 the dealer gave me a copy of:
Leica MP - Questions & Ansers. Johnathan Easton. Covers the MP adequately. Osterloh's book covers the the rest, M3 to M7, also the CL. |

The most comprehensive tome on all things Leica, including it's history, is Erwin Puts's 'Leica Compendium'. 600 pages of detailed information! ISBN = 978-94-91089-05-3. |

Thanks Keith. Another interesting tome is the series called "Leica Manual". My earliest edition is from 1937 is a wonderful read - all 502 pages. It also has some great developer recipes and info on darkrooms. I think the last edition was around 1973.
