I guess it is a phase... one starts with Leica, gets interested, becomes a subscriber to LFI, realizes it is expensive and not so informative and then gets over it and drops it. I am still in the phase of the subscription. I thought this was a particularly good issue, but I find it generally informative. This month had the added excitement of the DMR. I will keep in mind the analogy between Leica AG and the Soviet Communist Party...
