Leica
Lens Compendium
by Erwin Puts
Book Description
Since publication this title has proved to be very popular for both
the serious lens user wishing to understand more about his lenses, as well
as the Leica enthusiast considering which lens would be suitable to add
to his outfit.
Do you know your "Coma from your Aberrations?" If "Yes," then part
2 of Erwin Puts' new book will be of considerable interest to you. Either
way you may find this section easier to understand than you expect; the
illustrations and diagrams do help.
If you do not wish to know about either your "Coma or Aberrations,"
Part 1 and Part 3 will still be of interest to you.
Part 1 goes into the optical history of E. Leitz, Wetzlar and the Leica
Camera of Solms in detail with all the personalities involved. This section
is well illustrated with some new pictures. The commercial demands are
always battling with the perfectionists at Leica who created some of the
world's most famous lenses.
Part 2 is an optical digression explaining the lens and glass design
features, problems and terms and the continual battle to ensure that Leica
users end up with the highest possible standard of lens.
Part 3 is the largest part of the book. Puts has tested Leica lenses
from 1925 to date; each lens, in most cases with diagram, is detailed with
its performances at the critical apertures.
