Wow! What a great find, Francois. Thanks a million for sharing. I've been through issues from 1928 and 1968 so far; absolutely fascinating stuff.

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).

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.
