[Leica] LUG yearbook

Tue Sep 24 07:52:48 PDT 2019

The 2006 Yearbook has LUG 2006 Yearbook on the cover; The word Leica does
not appear anywhere.

The foreword is as follows:

The Leica Users Group (LUG) is an internet discussion forum comprised of
photographic enthusiasts who have an affinity for Leica cameras and related
equipment.  Members of the discussion forum are generally active
photographers, ranging from tyros to seasoned professionals.   For
additional information about the LUG, visit the website:
http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug  There is no fee for joining
the LUG.

The LUG is an independent accumulation of Leica enthusiasts and has no
connection to Leica Camera AG or its affiliates.  However, LUG participants
most likely wish Leica Camera AG well and hope the company continues to
produce superb photographic equipment.
