Subject: [Leica] 35mm technique / The Leica Manual
From: Ron & Bee Lian Miller <rkmiller001@earthlink.net>

Following a discussion about how different camera formats (35mm vs.
medium vs. large) may not necessarily box you into certain types of
photography, a friend recommended that i look at the "Leica Manual" book
by Morgan.  My friend recalls the book touches on the zone system and
there is an article by Bill Piere discussing 35mm format technique?

However upon searching for that title on amazon.com, i was given 11
titles available from the out-of-print section. It's confusing to me,
one who is unfamiliar with  books written on Leica.  There seems to be
three variations in the titles: "the new leica manual", "leica manual
and data book", and "LEICA MANUAL. A Manual for the Amateur and
Professional Covering the Field of Photography with the Leica Camera."

Could someone explain or suggest which one book i should get?. Try the
amazon.com search to see what i mean.  If there is no difference other
than which edition and publication, then i would get the latest edition
for best price given wear and tear.

thanks in advance.
