g'day Eric,

If you haven't had the misfortune to read the "Photo Technique" version
from across the pond don't feel bad. It absolutely pales to the real "Photo
Technique" most of us subscribe to.

I wouldn't give any equipment ratings in it the time of day. And to rate
the R7 over the R8 is just absolutely ridiculous! It either illustrates the
person doing the testing doesn't know how to get out of bed in the morning
or hasn't really done their home work and actually put film through both
cameras for any period of time.

"Photo Techniques" North America version, is one of the better photo
magazines available with well written and interesting articles.  The quick
way to compare the "good, bad and ugly" of each magazine is to put them
side by side. The Brit one is a completely mickey mouse tabloid compared to
a class informative magazine.
