The last issue of Popular Photography, March\/April 2017.<\/p><\/div>\n

This is a sad day. After 80 years of publication Popular Photography<\/em> magazine is closing. The March\/April issue that arrived in my mailbox will be the last. No new content will be added to the PopPhoto.com<\/a> web site after March 10.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The decision to close was announced yesterday, March 7, in a company wide email.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The first issue of Popular Photography, May 1937.<\/p><\/div>\n

Popular Photography<\/em> (PopPhoto<\/em> for short) was one of my favorite photography magazines<\/a> and far and away my favorite all-purpose photo magazine. I have been subscribing for decades. If had helpful articles about just about everything photographic and excellent equipment reviews. I will miss seeing it arrive in my mailbox.<\/p>\n

There are other photo magazines I subscribe to that specialize in nature, wildlife, portrait, and fashion photography, but PopPhoto<\/em> was my most trusted all around source and the only magazine with totally honest equipment reviews I could trust. Other magazines have reviews bu they pull their punches. Other magazines have phrases like “this is a good consumer lens” which sounds nice but it really means “not sharp enough for professional use”.<\/p>\n

So I don’t know what magazine I will turn to to replace PopPhoto<\/em> -\u00c2\u00a0 if any. As I said up front, this is a sad day. Or as Dan Bracaglia so aptly put it at DPReview<\/a>, “the photography world just got dimmer by a stop.”<\/p>\n
