I seem to recall Steve Simmons announcing that their office had been burglarized quite a few years ago. If memory serves, he said that some issues from their master file had been stolen. While I would like to be wrong on this, the announcement makes me doubtful that he had ever digitized his archive.

Hi Gents, I thought subscribers could download their issues after some date. The would suggest some archive may have kept them, but things do disappear in internet land. I am looking for the 1996 articles titled, "The history of lens design" by Lynn Jones.

I have maybe 70 issues, for free if I can find them, for local pick-up.

There is quite a bit of content in the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine), at https://archive.org/. Just search for www.viewcamera.com. You can access the articles that were freely accessible at the time, just not the subscriber only content. PDF's are available.
