I wish they would also wake up re their input to Leica Photographie Magazine. I
just received issue 1/99 in my mailbox and am aghast at the boredom I experienced
as I looked through it. I have issues going back to the 50s and the recent ones
have a serious lack of interesting text, in addition to other things. In the old
days there were very interesting essays on equipment, darkroom work, and shooting
technique; now, the mag is used only to hype new lenses and bodies with oodles of
hyperbole. Ugh!
