I just received it, looks very promising!
Thanks to mr. Puts for his giant effort in writing the book!

For crying out loud. I was distracted by end of semester grading. Is there going to be a second printing?

 

[squinza]

No idea, I am sure that mr Puts will be glad to go for a second run if there's enough request. Seems like that about 1100 books were sold so far (according to Put's blog).

Sent him an email. What was the price?

I paid $136 for mine, waiting patiently for it to arrive.

I got my Leica Compendium today, and even after a fast flip through I am very well impressed with this book. I think Mr Puts has put a lot of effort in this edition. This should be a "bible" of this forum, haha...

Does anyone know if there is going to be a trade edition?

(And now, there is a threat of Canada Post going on strike. Gr....)

Still waiting here as well, the new LFI has a small article about it.

Received my copy yesterday. I'm very pleased! Well worth the wait.

 

[squirrel$$$bandit]

Well, if anyone's disappointed, please sell your copy to me.

 

[Vickko]

It is an amazing book, significantly different than the previous Compendium.

Kudos to E.Puts, thank you so much for putting it out.

Got my copy today, I opened it randomly to the 28/2.0 ASPH which was mounted to my M7 today. This is a very heavy book, I'm looking forward to this read.

Got mine this morning - a stunningly beautiful volume. Many happy hours ahead with this, I think

Just got mine today.
After a quick flip through -- exceeds all expectations. It is much more detailed than I expected.
Hope that it will guide me in future lens purchases.

I paid 87,50 euros shipped (to Italy). Not an high price at all, I reckon!
600 pages of Leica bliss 😀
