It is easy for any camera magazine to make comparisons, of which most comparisons are made in relation to the dollar revenue derived from the various advertisements. And to take any great value in what is posted in a magazine leaves one to a very large question mark about their birth rights! :) >> Ted, I am very sorry, but all in all, you sound a little bit stupid to me. FotoMagazin is the leading german amateur photographers magazin. It is made in the land where at least five camera manufacturers (Leica, Rollei, Minox, Linhof, Noble) are actually designing and making cameras (how many camera makers - which make cameras in at least four digit production numbers - are there in the US, by the way?). Foto Magazin is also the mag, where I worked in the editorial staff and performed camera tests on my own. FotoMagazin Tests are published all over europe as there are some licese agreements with Italy, Czech Republic and other countries. The advertisement budget of Leica and Contax for FotoMagazin is about the same amount, with Leica being rather bigger than Contax.
