I take THE NATURAL IMAGE also, and while what you say re: George's
objectivity in this publication is true, he is not w/o his bias. His
bias is, however, reasonably controlled in this publication. It must
be remembered that Geo. is sponsored, in his many seminars, by Canon
and Kodak and therefore you'll seldom see a real disparaging comment
on their products. What he *can* do and does, is to give good words
to the occassional Sigma product or others with which he has little
vested interest. Who do you think financed his trip to Antarctica a
while back? Canon, Kodak, Domke and perhaps others.
He's a good guy, though, and tries hard to be as objective as
possible. It's as good a rag as you'll see considering that there *are*
commercial interests involved, even if indirectly.
