ironringer Posted June 30, 2015 Share #21 Posted June 30, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Huge job, well done, a great reference library. A few suggestions: - separate in 2 sections the Photography magazines from the Fotografie magazines (2 different magazines) - adjust the front cover icons so each is labeled with its visible date (maybe with Volume and Issue #) - show a table somewhere at the beginning that identifies the issues you are still missing - someday ... add the 1932-1939 Leica Photography magazines; they must exist in enthusiasts' storage drawers Has anyone or any company ever scanned the Leica Fotografie magazines, in any language?

Those are really great ideas. If Leica lets me keep the archive up, I'll incorporate them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpn Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share #30 Posted July 10, 2015 Well, after some back and forth, I got a surprisingly gracious takedown request from Leica Camera AG today. I'm not surprised. I am a touch disappointed that I have to take the site offline, but I'm happy that a lot of people were able to access it while it was live. I won't soapbox about copyright reform here. -- Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M9reno Posted July 10, 2015 Share #31 Posted July 10, 2015 I'm not surprised. The quality of the work and the equipment on display in these old issues raises some awkward questions about the present and future of the company. "Move on please, ladies and gentlemen. Nothing to see." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitz Posted July 10, 2015 Share #32 Posted July 10, 2015 I will soapbox. Libraries, and the publishers who supply these libraries, want them to be book/magazine mausoleums, not accessible to anyone but themselves. Google Books ran into the same problem. (Museums, such as the Smithsonian, are also mausoleums, but that is another topic.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted July 11, 2015 Share #33 Posted July 11, 2015 Very sorry to see your sight come down - it happened while I was visiting it - suddenly the next issue I wanted to view was unavailable. Thanks for your effort - great while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
