LFI 3/2012 April

I exchanged correspondence with the editor of LFI last year. I concluded that important changes were in the pipe-line and this has manifested itself in the latest issue. I sent the editor a message thanking him for the first changes in the journal's balance. I hope it can be sustained.

 

Incidentally, I wonder how many LFI readers have done likewise? I am a great believer in critical but positive and constructive feedback.

Constantine Manos again, much as I love his work, and nearly half the magazine given over to a catalogue of lenses that should given away free in a dealer's showroom? Why does anybody with a Leica need a list of lenses, it is all on the internet if you can't decide! This was a very poor edition of LFI.

I agree, but there are some fine examples of work taken with each lens in that article.

 

I have to say that I still subscribe to LFI, but it's becoming less and less compelling every month.

Does anybody know what's going on with issue 4/2012?

To honour the obvious embargo date LFI had to make sure the issue would not be delivered prior to May 11. It will probably be delivered one day later, just to be on the safe side.

That's what I thought. Let's hope it will be here tomorrow.

lol! i am still waiting for the april issue which i ordered off the lfi site because of the lens writeups. the site says 20 days or so to the us, but no one told the u.s. mail service that: hawaii is the boondocks for international publications. now i shall have to order the may issue for the overview of the new 50mm summicron and it may get here in time for photokina!

well i think in fairness to lfi i must now update my post. i contacted lfi on may 21 about not having received the issue i ordered. they said they would send a second copy and it came yesterday. then, to my astonishment, the same issue arrived again today - postmarked 13 april! there was no sign on the very sturdy cardboard envelope that it had gone through any trauma. i am assuming it sat somewhere here in hawaii till the post office got to the bottom of the "magazines and other inconvenient pieces of mail" box. i will offer lfi payment for the second copy, as i intend to keep both. i should add that when i finally registered my camera (after almost a year) and downloaded a copy of lr4, i also took advantage of the offer of a 6-month free subscription to lfi. the may issue arrived even before i contacted lfi about the awol one and actually pushed me to ask what had happened. so kudos to lfi for excellent customer service.
