The Leica M system has been with us since 1954. It rapidly became, and has remained the favorite instrument of photographers, especially photojournalists, who, like Henri Cartier-Bresson, seek to ""catch life in the act"", to record ""the decisive moment"". In this Leica M Compendium Jonathan Eastland describes the whole Leica M system from his experience as a professional photographer. He explains how to use, enjoy and get the best out of the cameras and lenses, regardless of age. The latest lenses can be used on the earliest cameras, and vice-versa, and the Visoflex, although no longer made, is now much easier to use with the M6 and its TTL metering. Advice on planning and shooting a story with the Leica and extensive tables of technical data complete this ideal companion for the practical Leica M photographer, as well as for the Leica collector and enthusiast.

Researched and written with the full co-operation of the factory, here in definitive detail is the story of the SLRs that saved the Leica brand, along with the numerous lenses sold alongside them. All variations are covered, including official limited editions, allowing collectors to use the book for reference, or simply enjoy the stunning photography - mostly contemporary and original, some taken specially for the book - gathered from all over the world. Successful immediately, these SLR models ran alongside the legendary M-series to defend Leica's honour in the showrooms at a time when it looked like the Japanese had the camera market sewn up. Today, the R-series (1976-2009) is becoming more and more collectable, so this authoritative guide is timely.

How to turn an exhibition into an experience - an analytical, structured and attractively illustrated guide for designers. An exhibition does not fascinate us purely through the presence of exhibited objects, but through the opportunity it gives us to make our own discoveries. Communication, education, experience and contemplation interact productively and dynamically. This book shows the preliminary stages of exhibitions from the designer's perspective. Topics include the presentation and staging of exhibitions, displays and education, texts, graphics, typography and layout, lighting and acoustics. Sketches, diagrams, and plans of wall arrangements, installations, collections, and models in appropriate scales and photos of realised projects are used to illustrate the process. Bertron Schwarz Frey/Group for Design (Berlin and Schwabisch Gmund) rank among the leading German offices of visual communication, museography and exhibition design. Amongst their projects are the Science Centre in Bremen, the natural,history museum in Berlin, and temporary exhibitions for the Germany's Haus der Geschichte foundation.
