I like looking at pictures (!!) and on my travels I often buy local photography magazines even though I won't be able to read them (unless English or German).

Post by: Francois on March 23, 2017, 08:19:13 PM: I do too. I used to ask my dad to bring some back when he used to travel a lot for companies.
The rarest one I got was a 1992 issue of Foto und Labor... I know they talk about the minox format and blue toners in it... that's about it.
