[Leica] LFI: Worth it?

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

I do have a subscription to LFI.  In fact it's the only photographic 
magazine I read these days. It's way better than the stuff I usually see 
on the news stands in the UK. Generally the photography is good or very 
good, though I concur with Richard that there could be more and I wish 
some of pictures were printed larger.
There have been some interesting articles on the M series and new lenses 
which I enjoyed.  Unsurprisingly, the S2 has had quite a lot of 
coverage, which doesn't really interest me.
