For those not familiar with it, George Lepp publishes the NATURAL
IMAGE out of Los Osos, CA. It carries no advertising. In it he does
not pull punches when it comes to rating equipment (most of it the
SLR kind). It's a quarterly publication. I'm at work without info,
but if anyone is interested I can reply privately or on the list
with subscription particulars. I've been a happy subscriber for
almost as long the NATURAL IMAGE has been published.
