Though it may not be international enough to satisfy you, one must
look very hard to find an INTERNET list that is dedicated to a
product that has a more diverse subscriber list than this. Diversity
is automatic when conditions are correct. They are correct on this
list and it reflects that already.
Again, LHSA's VIEWFINDER may be too collector oriented for you, BUT,
it is a heck of a lot less so than in the past. The thing that has
happened under the just ended stewardship of Roy Moss is that the
content has begun to much more carefully reflect the fact that both
collectors and users comprise the membership. Roy's editorials,
often, addressed issues that were user oriented. His blast at Leica's
price structure, just before retiring as editor, whether you agree
with it or not, was certainly fodder for the users.
The future course of VIEWFINDER under previous editor, now again
editor, Randol Hooper will be interesting to chart.
