Ajex Publication 2003, Hardcover, 6 x 8-1/2", 144 pages, including 16 pages of color.

Following on the heels of the author’s other highly acclaimed practical Leica titles, this new book gives a thorough introduction to the new Leica M7 electronically operated rangefinder camera introduced at PMA in 2002.

The LEICA M7 HANDBOOK examines this new camera in detail; its exposure measurement system, new AUTO (aperture priority), MANUAL and MECHANICAL operating modes and TTL flash exposure measurement features using Metz and Leica electronic flash units are comprehensively covered. The author shares his experience on selecting and using the superb range of current and older Leica-M lenses in a special chapter entitled ‘Objective selections’, looks at film choices and describes both current and independent accessories from the working professional’s viewpoint. This new title, while aimed principally at Leica users, also contains practical photographic advice for users of other 35mm rangefinder marques.

An original layout facilitates easy reading and quick access to special user information in an appendix. High quality paper has been selected for textual clarity and a stunning photo of the new camera graces the laminated hard cover.
