That is why I no longer subscribe to the general photography magazines like Amateur Photographer. I look at them at the newsstands and buy them if there is an interesting story. Switzerland is a small, internationally oriented country, so it is easy to find a variety of magazines at just about any newsstand. I occasionally buy the French mags Réponses Photo and Chasseur d'Images also. For subscriptions, I do stick with Photo Techniques (US version) as I find it excellent. LFI has improved, I agree, but I find it not worth the rather expensive subscription. Erwin's articles are excellent, sure, but I can get them for free from his website and other sources. The magazines that focus on photographs, on the other hand, I enjoy. For example, Lenswork (US) or Katalog (Denmark).
