They said it was very good, however only for PC's and the density of 3.3 was not particularly high with others claiming between 3.9 and 4.2. I will see if I can find the magazine when I get into the office in the morning. Also last weeks AP was excellent, being completely dedicated to the Leica M series because of the M3's 50th birthday this year.
