I am very proud of being informed that one of my photos from my last weeks trip Elbsandstein has been voted as a Mastershot SL at the LFI.Gallery 🤩

Last week, I received an email from Leica announcing that Fotopark would closed down shortly. The email contained a voucher code to apply on LFI.Gallery towards 3 free issues of LFI magazine. Following the link in the email, I entered my email address and the voucher code on the LFI.Gallery website, and got a message saying a verification email would be sent to me to activate my subscription. It has been several days and I have still not got that email. I have checked my junk mail folder but there is no email there either. Subsequently, I tried to register on the LFI.Gallery website, and again got a message saying an verification email had been sent to me. I have not got that email either. I have twice written to LFI via the “contact” link on the site, but have not received a reply. When I try to login on the site, I get a message saying “please verify your account”. I can’t do that since I haven’t got any verification emails. This is very strange and annoying! Any ideas or suggestions what I should do next?

LFI is telling me that I owe payment for the last three years of my subscription as my credit card payments did not go through due to a techinic error on their end. I never received notices except in 2018 where they told me explicitly to not worry about it. Now three years later they claim they sent me messages, they did not as I keep EVERY Leica-related email I receive. However after each payment I did received a notice of what they are now calling a data receipt, not payment receipt. I no longer have the credit cards and cc history of those cards. They kept sending me issues and now claim I owe hundreds of Euros to them. I've never had this experience with any other publication. So apparently they have had technical issues for at least three years. I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, especially U.S. subscribers. I don't need anyone to tell me to just suck it up and pay it, I want to hear only from anyone else who have had this issue and how you dealt with it. Thank you.

Wenn ich mir die letzten Ausgaben der Leica Fotografie International anschaue, sträuben sich mir die Nackenhaare. Was ist aus dieser einstmals tollen Fotozeitung geworden? Wirkt heute wie ein Glamourmagazin, Schriftzug: LIFE läßt grüßen, Inhalt: zahlreiche nichtssagende Bilder, Texte lieblos runtergerotzt (sorry!). Fotos oft über eine Doppelseite, die Bindung ist nicht nur hier mehr als lästig. Als Leica Fan fühle ich mich langsam verarscht. Vergleicht man mit den älteren Heften, fehlt hier nicht nur die Bindung zum Leica-Amateur. Statt dessen nehmen Reportagen aus Krisengebieten überhand, aus vielen Fotos spricht das Gestellte. Die meisten Fotos sind dermaßen perfekt, daß sie schon langweilig und damit nichtssagend sind. Ein erschreckendes Bild spiegelt die Zahl der Abonnenten wider: Man munkelt von knapp 5.000, Ende der 90er waren es noch an die 10.000! Bin ich der einzige, der mit dieser Zeitschrift nicht mehr zufrieden ist? Wohin geht der Weg? Was bezweckt man mit dem jetzigen Layout, wen will man ansprechen? Hat der eine oder andere von Euch vielleicht ein paar Insiderinformationen? Eins steht aber fest: Ich laß mir den Spaß mit meiner Leica hierdurch nicht nehmen! Gruß vom Niederrhein Ralph

I received LFI 1/2011, this morning. As usual, it is beautifully printed. I should like to emulate this particular semi-matt, textureless effect with my Epson 3800. Does anyone have suggestions for possible inkjet paper equivalents (heavier, ideally)? Many thanks, John

Hallo Forum. Sind hier zufällig Münchner, die mir sagen können, in welchem physischen Geschäft in München man die LFI käuflich erwerben kann? Die üblichen Verdächtigen am Hbf scheinen sie nicht zu haben und ich bin ein bisschen ratlos. Nein, ich will sie nicht abonnieren. Mike

Hallo! Was haltet ihr von der neuen LFI iPad App? Ich persönlich würde mir auch eine reine PDF Version wünschen. Ansonsten finde ich die Idee recht gut! Gruß zeitraffer

The latest issue of LFI (3/2010) has just reached me and includes the promised article on the background design and development of the X1 camera. For owners and aspirants it makes very interesting reading and explains why the Summicron lens option was ruled out on size and bulk grounds. ("Twice the diameter") While many will regret this decision, I think it was the right one. Incorporating a specially designed Elmarit added more to the size than I had anticipated but, having got used to it in practice, I am convinced that it was the right decision for a compact camera. After-all, compare the size of the X1 Elmarit with the Digilux 2 Summicron and the latter is feeding a smaller sensor. The superb high ISO performance is more than adequate compensation for the sacrifice of one F-stop, exciting though it would have been to see a Summicron in place. There is direct reference to the initiative shown in Asia (Japan?) in presenting the original design concept for the X1, which is shown in a comparative photograph, not just a drawing. Interestingly the control dials occupied a more central position on the body top, but were repositioned to improve actual use of the controls. I wish I could have had an input to that decision because, although the original dials were smaller, I would like to have seen the repositioned aperture dial, (the more vulnerable of the two), finished with a neatly beveled periphery. I think that would have reduced the tendency for inadvertent rotation. As usual, the whole LFI issue tries to please everyone. The opening portfolio of twelve pages, is twice the length I would have chosen; but that seems to be an editorial inclination to let a portfolio roll on and on and on! Saving half of the pagination would have made space for what I believe readers would choose, viz another general interest feature, perhaps devoted to use of older Leica cameras and lenses. That would help the continuity and flow of Leica lore! There is copious coverage of the prizewinning entries in the 35mm lens competition for which X1 cameras were prizes. Again it is difficult to make an objective judgment. Having reviewed the subjects chosen, from 5000 entries, I doubt that my general 'every day' subject choice would ever meet the judges' favour. Of the twelve top entries reproduced, only one was taken with a non-Leica lens. That fact must have pleased the sponsors.

I'm trying to locate an article that, as far as I know, was published in LFI. It was about the photography course that was held at what was then known as The London School of Printing and Graphic Arts, in London. I understood that the article appeared in 1962, but I bought a set of LFI from 1962, and it's not in any of them. It would certainly be in the English-language edition. So two questions: - Are back issues of LFI from the early i960s available to study online? - If not, does anyone have a set from 1961 that you would be willing to check through to see if this article appears? It's just possible, of course, that it was not published in LFI, but somewhere else, although I'm fairly sure that my information is correct. David
