Subject: [Leica] The death of Leica Fotografie "International" in French
From: Lucien <director@ubi.edu>

Isn't it paradoxical that less than two months after French
Hermès International was pleased to announce that it has
acquired 31.5%  of the share capital of Leica Camera AG for
a total investment of 17.7 million Euro, Umschau
Zeitschriftenverlag <http://www.uzv.de/special.htm>, the
editor of Leica Fotografie International announce that their
2/2001 issue will be the last published in French.

;-)

Now, I know that LFI is not a Leica Camera publication, and
I'm sure that LFI in French wasn't profitable and that since
a long time.

I only hope that the English version will live longer.
