I disagree.  ColorFoto covers seems to cover (since I can't really read it,
I only brose it on the huge magazine stores here in midtown NY) exactly the
same material as PopPhoto: cameras, lenses and equipment; and also has a lot
of advertising.
 Aperture, Lenswork, B&W, etc. - all excellent publications - deal primarily
with images. And I was only talking about quality issues - paper, printing,
general reproduction - not content.
