I have bought the last 3-4 issues and while I do not like all the portfolios featured (who would), I find that there is enough there to keep me buying. Besides, it gives me an excuse to go to the shop and drool over Leica stuff I do not (yet?) have. As for the news value, well, it does tend to be outdated compared to other media, but I think it is unavoidable for a magazine which appears every two months and probably has quite a long lead time. Anyway, I feel that with the various web sites and this wonderful mailing list, I am kept up to date quite nicely. I do agree with you that the English translations are atrocious.
