Oh my god,

Should I use a horse and buggy too!!!!!!!
This DVD is full of great things. Mostly interviews that I find hard to hear in a book. I can't wait till the next one comes out. I have seem Barnbaums darkroom, Kim Westons darkroom and studio, and the one on one interviews are great. Oh also having the Photographers show prints and talk to you about them. that is only possible if you do a workshop.
IT IS NOT JUST PHOTOS. IF it were I won't get it either.

I guess you must enjoy sitting in front of your computer more than I do.

Yes, I've seen some of the darkroom tours, and listened to some interviews... but the main reason I buy Lenswork is to see and be inspired by good photography. And I'd rather do that with a book in my hand than a mouse.

Unless, of course, it were my own darkroom being toured. Hmmm... Hey, Brooks...!

No wait, then I'd have to muck the place out. Forget it!!

Shipping to Europe - Ouch !

I just susribed to LensWork and paid 39 USD for the magazine, which is fine , but another 39 USD for shipping it to Switzerland, which is NOT fine . How about a cheaper and slower int'l delivery offer ?

Hope the LensWork management read this, and offer their views. :confused:

Cheers.

I think a lot of magazines were getting lost when they used a cheaper method of shipping.

I've been subscribing for a few years. My subscription just ran out, and I'm debating. I see lots of beautiful stuff, and I like to read it. But if there were more film photographers included there'd be no question.

On the other hand, it's a *photography* magazine, not a specifically film one. Considering the fact that more photographers are digital than film, it makes sense that they would highlight more digital than film... whether I like that about it or not.

I think they do a great job, though, at what they put out.

I like the magazine and when I lived in Sweden the local library got a copy in each month and I'd always spend an hour or so reading it. I'd love to find a Euro distributor for it because the sub price plus shipping is $80 for six issues - way too rich for my blood.

LensWork as a Downloadable -- No shipping!

For you folks overseas who don't like the shipping charges we have to pass along from the USPS, we do have a downloadable version that is a lot less expensive. Instead of $6.50 per issue plus another $6.50 for overseas postage, how about $3.95 downloadable TOTAL per issue?

Not quite the same as having the physical, printed-on-paper version, but it is 70% less expensive!

Every issue going all the way back to LensWork #1 is available.
