I wouold appreciate hearing from anybody that has checked this book over as to its value and quality of information. Which models does it cover? I have read some good tips in his earlier Classic camera repair book, and wonder if this new one is worthwhile. >> Noel. I have Tomosy's "Leica Camera Repair Handbook". It covers models IA through IIG, M3, MDa, M5, CL, Leicflex, R3, and R4. I think that it has limited usefulness. Because it covers so many models, it doesn't have enough depth on any one to be truly helpful. It does have some good tips on disassembling the cameras, removing top plates etc. It does not cover routine adjustments and maintenance except to basically say that it can be done. It would be a book to have in addition to more complete texts, but does not stand alone. Richard Wasserman
