Central Standard Time, shino@panix.com writes: in practical terms, however, the percentage of advertising revenue from leica is probably de minimus. from purely advertising perspective, it would more likely be in the magazine's interest to steer readers away from the M8 towards the slew of me-too cameras that fill the advertising pages, or best yet, to ignore the M8 completely. ------------- Several years ago, if POP-P ran any tests on Leica, it mostly crowed about the steep prices, but now that other badges have attained these lofty price levels, that criticism has waned. I've found their reviews to be pretty balanced in the past three years or so.
