Hi Leopold

I am subscribing to the Shutterbug - us$36/yr foreign -(although they do
not do extensive lab testings, they have features articles which are
usually informative and well written.  I also like to see the prices of
items in the US as a track of their trend of leica prices), Pop. Photo -
approx us$22/year foreign - (extensive photo gear and lens tests reports,
reader friendly, has something for everybody, more colour pics compared to
the Shutterbug),  Photo Techniques<US edition> - us$25/year foreign -(This
is a must read for those who are involved in darkroom and B&W processing). 

Of course being a member of the LHSA I get the Viewfinder bundled in.  I
also have a subs to Leica Fotographie (92 DM/year airfreight) direct from
Germany.

I terminated my membership to Club Rollei (jersey, UK) as I found that
their quarterly mag was of poor quality.

It is sad to learn that publishers can no longer even produce a decent
photo magazine within the United Kingdom without the need to attract sales
with semi-nude spreads.
