"Natural Glow" Japanese B&W Photo Magazine

A few weeks back some people discussed about this bi-monthly magazine here and I also

had some inquiries on my site.<p>

 

I contacted the publisher and was told there are no international subscriptions. Your best

bet in the US may be to contact a Kinokuniya book shop near you. <a href="http://

bookweb.kinokuniya.co.jp/ohb/02/files/faq.htm">Here</a> is a list.<div></div>

I wish we could convince a US dealer to import this magazine. I'd love to be able to buy it

here without too much rigamarole.

While living in Japan, I pored through the Japanese photo mags. Now that I'm back home (US), I'd rather get my hands on Asahi Camera or Nippon Camera. Natural Glow seemed pretty unremarkable.

H.D. Shin,

I'm curious. After looking through the japanese mags in Japan, what made you decide on getting a nippon or asahi camera? And which model of cameras are you talking about? and why?

I only ask because I just purchased an excellent user M2 and I am eagerly waiting to get a lens for it so I can start using it. Being a fan and owner of a Rolleiflex TLR (2.8F), after I got the M2 and started practicing shooting with it. It just feels so right in my hands as if this is the 'feel' that my hands were looking for since the first time I picked up a camera... It's almost as if my 'hands' had an epiphany. Now I can't wait to start actually using it to experience the type of psychological feedback that the camera can provide for me.
