Yes! Technical articles, equipment previews, interviews with Leica staff,
photographic essays, galleries, exhibition announcements even the
advertisements are heavily slanted towards Leica products and nearly
everything in there is about Leica.

Those cunning swine, fancy being enthusiastic and positive about Leica in a
magazine called Leica Fotografie International. SHEESH!
My mind has been so twisted under its influence that I bought a whole bunch
of the earliest English copies off the Bay. Even then their blatant bias was
evident starting with a positive review for that new fangled M3.

Be careful Neil, it is full of evil Leica propaganda designed to make you
buy the M9.
Oh, wait ;-)
