But like the Leica itself, news of the magazine's demise may be premature. Popular Photography certainly is a value at about $10 a year. As we used to say admiringly of the (London) Sunday Times, you could light a whole week's fires with it. But do you really wish to compare "674 Color Film" or "Learn How to Shoot The Flag Like a Pro!" I think thou dost protest too much.

LFI is a total waste of money. I hope someone at leica is reading this. They are showcasing mediocre portfolios. I think we at the lug have better portfolios than what they show. Plus I think Popular photography magazine has better context. I will cancel.

I have finally had enough. I would not renew my subscription this year. The magazine has been just plain too marketing oiriented rather than photography and especially portfolio oriented. Yes, I liked the older format whereby there were 90% portfolios, and an occasional article on some aspect of a new camera/lens gadget or thing I could buy. The new format is plain advertising with a cursory portfolio added. Too much advertising. And too expensive for what I get out of the portfolios. There is a lot of nerve in SELLING me advertising. This time I speak with my wallet.
