In the current issue, the editor, in his test use of the Leica C1 makes several at least mildly critical comments on features of the camera. Tom Wood's rather extensive portfolio of people pictures make the current issue well worth the price of admission. I have to disagree that Leica Fotografie is simply a marketing piece.
