Great read - thanks
Wonderful to read ...
So easy to read!
There may be slight problem, as the British Journal of Photography is still very much alive and may not be too pleased about lengthy extracts - even from as far back as 1922!
In the US, anything published from 1923 to 1963 are in the public domain. In the UK, I don't know, but hobby magazines are typically scanned and put online from this period. By Google and others. I know I've read a lot of the BJP online already.

The information has been made available via The Royal Photographic Society... This can be used... but thanks for the concern. I did however forget to credit the source - so I have done that now.
Many thanks
Dan
PS - I have found a few errors in the text, but I do enjoy how pro-British the piece and anti-German it is in terms of optical prowess. The French vs. German vs. English vs American drive for optical supremecy !!

Dan, can you clarify the source, the BJP was a weekly not monthly publication until quite recently. So was it in a weekly edition or the 1922 or more likely 1923 BJP Almanac (it may have been in both as the Almanacs had a digest of the best from during the year).
Thanks for posting, I've yet to find a 1922 or 1932 Almanac, they tend to be expensive.

I think it's interesting to read how back then they were still using f-stops to measure their aperture
