    Charles,

    as the (German) author of the Voigtländer article, the original manuscript in Word that I sent to Steve had all the umlauts in it. For some reason the umlauts as well as some other special characters like the "µ" were not compatible with the typesetting/editing system Steve uses and were tranformed into some weird characters in the proof. He then changed the umlauts by hand to "a" instead of the "ae", and sent me the proof. We spent some time on the phone removing many more glitches of that type. This was actually not so long ago, shortly before it went to print and I agreed to leave it in the "a" version then. Most people are not aware of the rule the ä=ae, ö=oe and ü=ue anyway - I know, since my last name does contain an umlaut and I am adressed as "Croll" more often than "Croell" if people see "Cröll". I am not offended by that. I did make sure there was no h in Voigtländer in the manuscript though!

    I don't have the new VC yet, so I don't know if there is something amiss, but the caption for figure 1 d) should read:

    d) the Telomar [24]; note that the elements of the front group of the Telomar are not cemented, but separated by a small airspace.

    Thanks Mr. Cröll. See, even this forum's treatment of ASCII can handle your umlaut!

    Sal, I know, and I don't know what the problem was on their side. Especially since in a table sent later, the umlaut did go through. But I have seen too many glitches in file exchanges to be too astonished about the problems. I remember that several times I got (work-related) pdf's with diagrams from Japan, where all the lettering (numbers) in the diagrams had been replaced by weird symbols. Only after I loaded the Japanese character set (even though there was no japanese character in the whole thing), did it work. And this was a pdf, that is supposed to be pretty universal!

    I find it hard to overlook an index which misspells the name of the camera being discussed [there is no such thing as a "Graphlex" camera], as well as misstating the page number of the article [only missed by 10 pages]. And, I'm not thrilled with the increasing emphasis on digital printing [OK, I'm living in the past, but isn't that a lot of what LF is about?]

    I'm tired of waiting for Becky to "improve". I'll not be renewing my subscription. That money can be put to better use buying additional paper [the kind with silver coating].

    Alec: Are there ever any days when you're in a really good mood? Are those the days you don't post?

    Gee, Kevin. Nice to know your watching over me. Don't know who appointed you King of the Castle though. You have your opinions and I have mine. How I feel is none of your business.

    I notice you're full of unsolicited "advice" lately. Too much time on your hands?

    I pay for a subscription but View Camera has relieved my the burden of actually receiving what I've paid for.

    From reading the posts above, I must assume that this is the best of both worlds.
