The Leica M Photographer: Photographing with Leica's Legendary Rangefinder Cameras

Wow - use the word Leica and you have my attention. Unfortunately the cover and title does not live up to content. Uninspiring images and wordy pages which only vaguely reference the use of a rangefinder/Leica. I wanted to love this book but it was disappointing.

This book could be an inspiration for any person starting out with Leica M. An honest and informative overview of an experienced Leica photographer.

Great book, excellent photos!

Pa sgrand chose, ce livre est très généraliste sur l'acte de photographier et n'apporte rien quand à une conniassance de plus sur le système M. Ce n'est pas un livre technique. Il apprendra sans doute à un débutant, mais rien à un photographe débutant avec le système M.De belles images, mais beaucoup de vide... Du coup bien trop cher pour ce que c'est... Les leçons de l'auteur n'ont même rien d'exceptionnelles, voir même enfo,nçent les portres ouvertes.Grosse déception.

Personally I thought this a very good book.It is not about gear…the main complaints are that it doesn’t delve into every aspect of the Leica. It’s not meant to!It is meant to inspire the average Leica owner (who is an amateur) to take the kind of photos they are most likely to take…family and their little corner of the world.There are already enough books telling us how to be the next great wildlife/landscape/paparazzi photographer…which we’re never going to be.
