A Good Simple Guide from a Great Photographer

This book was published in 1978 and is a pleasure. Eisenstaedt used Leica rangefinders and Nikon SLRs. The book contains many pictures and Eisenstaedt explains how he made each one. His favorite combination was the Leica M and a 35 mm lens. He used a tripod as needed. Eisenstaedt cautions to "keep it simple." "The most important thing about a camera is that you feel comfortable with it," he says. Good down to earth advise throughout the book. Photography is not about equipment and technique; those are givens. It is about vision.
