Summary: Not for Me
Comment: After purchasing an SL that needed a cleaning I bot this book hoping to open it up and clean the viewfinder. I even had hopes of cleaning the dust from the 50mm summicron lens. My anticipation grew as I awaited this magical tome that would help me restore this old classic almost to its original condition. Then I received this book. I might as well have bought a manual on do-it-yourself brain surgery. Camera repair is not for the laymen and this book is not written for the laymen. It is written for the seasoned camera repairmen that may need to get the lay-of-the-land for the occaisonal Leica repair he has to perform. This book assumes the reader is well versed in camera repair. I put it on ebay 6 minutes after receiving it - nuff said.

Summary: Leica Camera Repair Handbook, a good book but miss some ....
Comment: Leica Camera Repair Handbook is a good book, it is not for begginer or professional, I think it is target for hobbist, but in this book it miss some important things, like how to replace the shutter curtain - a very common problem in old screw mount Leica, it did mention about the rangefinder problem a good plus. I have bought many repair books that wroten by him.

Summary: A Fabulous Book Not In Need Of Editorial Superlatives
Comment: This book is a fabulous compendium of Leica nuts and bolts and mechanical esoterica, rolled into a little more than 100 pages plus appendices. No, it is not encyclopedic in its coverage, nor would it be practical to aspire to such an objective given the number of pages available. Yet it is difficult to imagine a more concise and engaging source. Personally, I am troubled by promoters and spin doctors, and regret that the editorial billing shown above oversells the capability of any one-volume source. Phrases like "with GREAT DETAIL this book outlines ALL of the techniques needed to repair and restore Leica cameras, lenses..." are plainly implausible in the eyes of any Leica afficionado, given the variety and complexity of the cameras and lenses offered by this superb maker. Yet I was instantly drawn to this book and deeply impressed by the amount of ground that the author covers in a short space. The book is well worth the asking price. On sale, it is a steal.
