Lugnuts:

The new US News & World Report "tech guide" issue has an article on Retro
tech. By this they mean LP records, wind up watches, fountain pens and so
forth. The first item covered? Leica! Featured is an amateur photographer
from New Mexico,  Reverdy Johnson, who uses "1970's vintage Leica
rangefinder and Hasselblad". There is a photo of him at work.

They mention the lack of rapid obsolescence,the quality, and especially the
advantage of equipment that makes you think and be involved in the photo
process. All in all not a bad mention for a mainstream magazine.

Nothing on Bokeh, though :)
