This is much like an Elephant's birth -- a protracted affair of much confusion and thrashing about. It is in the hands of the publisher and ought to be seeing the light of day fairly soon. But the publisher has been distracted by doing the English edition of the second volume of Kuc's ON THE TRAIL OF THE CONTAX, and that is due out momentarily, so I should be next in line. My book covers European LTM lenses -- Schacht and Zeiss and Ross and Wray and Steinheil and Angenieux. There is some mention of American lenses, but little on the Japanese lenses (which may be my next book: I'm getting pressured to do a book on Voigtlander, and Rollei, and Kilfitt, and the Japanese LTM lenses). Every time this book has gotten close to being finished, new lenses have appeared. This time, I'm not adding anything, even though I have just picked up a 4/13.5cm CZJ Triotar in uncoupled mount, and know of a couple of others which ought to be included. The book has been too long in the coming! Marc Marc James Small Cha Robh Bas Fir, Gun Ghras Fir! FAX: +540/343-7315
