In this context, a very entertaining read,
highlighting one German war reporter's life:
Walther Benser: "My Life with the Leica" (1990
Hove Photo Books) with a nice gallery of Benser's pictures annotated by him.
After the war Benser worked for Leitz to promote
their gear around the world incl. in the US with
slide shows of his pictures using two Prado 500
projectors. He even drilled himself to give his
talks in several languages without really
knowing all of them. Did you ever see him?
I corresponded briefly with Benser but never met
him. I have owned a number of Benser cases over
he years and agree with Allen that these are more
for collectors than users: I will stick with my
Billingham for the Leicas and with a
Falklands-War-era Royal Engineers kit bag for my 2.8GX.
