Annual meeting Freiburg, digital library, Kodak DCS, Leica MONOPAN 50 and many other contributions to the history of photography.

It is with great anticipation that we announce the forthcoming issue of our association magazine: Photo Antiquaria No. 165 will be published at the beginning of October.

Our dedicated editorial team, Wolfgang Kuttig and Heinz Kamp, have once again put together an issue full of exciting topics and carefully researched articles. The issue impresses with its diversity and depth of content - a true reflection of the lively collectors' scene.

Our heartfelt thanks go to all the authors who have made this issue possible with their knowledge, passion and commitment. Their work deserves the highest recognition and contributes to the fact that Photo Antiquaria has remained an indispensable forum for photographic history, technology and collecting culture for many years.
