Leica M Compendium

Author: Jonathan Eastland
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 9781897802052
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 214

Book Description
The Leica M system has been with us since 1954. It rapidly became, and has remained the favorite instrument of photographers, especially photojournalists, who, like Henri Cartier-Bresson, seek to ""catch life in the act"", to record ""the decisive moment"". In this Leica M Compendium Jonathan Eastland describes the whole Leica M system from his experience as a professional photographer. He explains how to use, enjoy and get the best out of the cameras and lenses, regardless of age. The latest lenses can be used on the earliest cameras, and vice-versa, and the Visoflex, although no longer made, is now much easier to use with the M6 and its TTL metering. Advice on planning and shooting a story with the Leica and extensive tables of technical data complete this ideal companion for the practical Leica M photographer, as well as for the Leica collector and enthusiast.

Book Description
A CONCISE, DETAILED GUIDE TO THE LEICA M9 The LEICA M9 is the smallest, lightest, highest-quality digital camera ever created by the hand of Man. The all metal LEICA M9 is less expensive than the old Nikon D3X, and weighs over four ounces (120g) less than the plastic Nikon D90! The M9 weighs only 2.4 oz (69g) more than the dinkiest Nikon D40. The LEICA M9 is the most important digital camera introduced since the Nikon D1, the world's first practical DSLR, in 1999. The LEICA M9 is a rangefinder camera, not an SLR. The LEICA M9 is the world's best digital camera for travel, nature, landscape, interior and outdoor photography. The LEICA M9's excellent sensor, coupled with LEICA's superior optics, leads to better overall technical image quality than obtainable from Canon or Nikon.

This updated edition profiles twenty of the world’s leading street photographers and teaches readers how to capture profound urban moments.

The reader is then introduced to twenty of the most acclaimed international street photographers. This new, revised edition features six new photographers: Troy Holden, Merel Schoneveld, Melissa Breyer, David Gaberle, Michelle Groskopf, and Craig Whitehead. Integrated within the profiles are twenty fully illustrated tutorials, including how to shoot a face in a crowd and how to train your eye to observe and capture the unexpected.
