I am an M6 and an R8 user and have very little interest in 30s and 40s Leica bodies and lenses. Please assure me that is not going to happen!!! Why? Viewfinder is the journal of the Leica HISTORICAL Society of America, so is it not reasonable that most of the articles should be about the older kit? In much the same way, this is the Leica USER group, so one might expect most of the postings to be be about using Leica lenses and cameras, but with a strong emphasis of the newer hardware. That's the theory, at least. In practice, both Viewfinder and the LUG cover a broader Leica-related subject base than their titles suggest, but would it really be a big problem if both showed a stronger bias toward their "official" subject area?
