Just like those wars, we can count on the good guys across the ocean to turn up near the finish to assure the right result. Jem ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: Lucien [SMTP:director@ubi.edu] Sent: 15 February 2001 10:20 To: LEICA USERS Subject: [Leica] The death of Leica Fotografie "International" in French Isn't it paradoxical that less than two months after French Hermes 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. Lucien
