I still subscribe still out of habit. Most of the articles aren't worth the paper they are written on. The prices in the ads are ridiculous. A few dealers I would buy from (like Keulh) the ads are 2 months out of date because of the slownest of the while process. They keep raising the price on personal ads (now 0.50 a word) to drive out any Photographers that just want to sell used equipment. It's headed the way of Popular and Modern Photography.
