LuLa has without question evolved and with that comes, inevitably, some change in the audience.
Obviously as an occasional contributor, I am wildly biased, but I like the more recent content more. I think the team is doing a good job pivoting
to topics of contemporary interest. Frankly, the digital camera is a solved problem. The difference between a good m3/4 system and the latest
Phase One uberkamera is so slight as to be of genuine interest to a select few.
I think it is fair to say that virtually 100% of that select few frequents LuLa, mind you, so, still relevant.
Still, as the technology sorts itself out in the new plateau, I think turning to artistic considerations and other topics is a wise choice (but then, the technology
has been of slight interest to me for decades). We still see things like detailed (oh so very detailed) reviews of paper and printers. While these leave me cold,
I recognize that this is still an area of real concern and interest to the serious Fine Art Photographer. While cameras are basically all so good as to not matter much
any more, while digital technologies have matured to the point that virtually any desired image can be created, the last technological frontier remains as the output
medium.
For me, it is the book, and I care more about structure than color rendering, but for many readers of LuLu the details of color gamut and Dmax are paramount, and
so LuLa provides those detailed technical reviews.
I find myself liking LuLa more and more, rather than less and less.
But then, I would, I write here from time to time, so, cum grano salis.
