nemeng Posted December 14, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I noticed yesterday the current Australian edition of Time magazine (December 18, 2006 / No. 50) has a black-tape covered M3 on its cover: TIME Pacific Magazine - Table of Contents - December 18, 2006 / No. 50 ... used to illustrate their "2006: The Best Photos of the Year" round-up: Although the battle-scared M3 sure looks the part, I can't help wondering about the shots themselves, which would have all been taken using various forms of non-Leica DSLR. But then again, I guess a "pool-loaner" Canon EOS on the cover just wouldn't have the same kind of recognition & nostalgia value, right?... :?) As to the photos themselves: TIME: The Best Photos of the Year 2006 ... FWIW I find the web slide-show to be better quality than the magazine reproductions (!) A hint of things to come?...

gravastar Posted December 15, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 15, 2006 Andrew, today I noticed the UK edition of the magazine in the Smith's chain of booksellers had the same image on the cover. I found it quite eyecatching. As you say though, it doesn't have much relevance to the contents. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
