Owned????? Published might be a better description... After all... this isn't NGS where everyone involved is doing quite well from the business..... While I haven't got the latest issue yet..... I like the fact that the Viewfinder is more than just describing various style motorcouplers on 250 reporters... It also covers various old and new Leica copies as well as new offerings from Leica... I enjoyed seeing Sal's equipment and like his chrome shutterspeed dial idea to differentiate black cameras.... I also thought his comment that he has not had a M-6 rangefinder go out of alignment yet rather interesting... If the every issue was entirely about various Fikus versions or NY engraved filters.... we'd all fall asleep bored stiff.... and if Leica introduced as many new products as Cosina has in the last year or so.... I'm sure it would be getting more space..... but.... that's not the case... Duane Birkey LHSA member HCJB World Radio, Quito Ecuador Duane's Photographs of Ecuador: http://ecuadorphotos.tripod.com
