Advertisement Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Hi johnastovall, Take a look here Error found in Lany's "Leica Collectors Guide - 2nd edition. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted September 6, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 6, 2008 I have the 1st edition : the number of errors is really big... not to speak of the italian translation, that adds a lot of editing confusions... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted September 7, 2008 Share #3 Posted September 7, 2008 There are quite a number of errors in Laney, 2nd ed. But some errors are inevitable in a book of that size (believe an old editor of encyclopedias) and some are due to bad editing, not primarily to the author. All works of reference have to be used with your critical faculty in operation. A professional tip: Read with a red pencil at hand.

dkCambridgeshire Posted September 8, 2008 Share #4 Posted September 8, 2008 And in the 7th Edition the Leica lens' serial numbers/years on page 272 the table shows several incorrect years ie 1970 , 1980, 1983, 1984, and 1985 are not shown ... each is substituted with incorrect year Cheers dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
