'Leica Fotografie' celebrated it's 50th anniversary this year, though it wasn't printed in English until 1953, 1952 was a strange year when they offered English translations inserted into the magazine, very cute! best regards, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Rob McElroy [SMTP:idag@pce.net] Sent: 03 January 2001 15:09 To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica Photography (US version) Jem, My No. 1, Vol.1 of Leica Photography is dated Spring 1948. It was a quarterly magazine that cost 25 cents an issue but was sent free to all registered Leica camera owners residing within the United States and US Territorial Possessions. Subscription rates for non-owners of Leica cameras in the US was $1.00 per year. If you lived elsewhere, it was $2.00 per year whether you owned a Leica or not.
