- Quote from Forum discussion [2] # 23 (above) ". . . the Leica 16511 Copy Stand used in conjunction with a light box is the best way to go. It offers magnification of 1.1 to 1.3 and comes with a focus finder and is ideally suitable for a 50mm Summicron and an M6. Brian Bower recommends it in his book Leica M photography - David & Charles page 92 and Theo Scheerer also sings it's praises in his earlier book The Leica and the Leica System - Fountain Press page 82." -Kenneth
