Club feature
My local photo group is featured in this week’s Amateur Photographer magazine which is nice, however my local shop has recently stopped selling it and in fact there were no photo magazines on display at all. Spoiled for choice though if you like guns and cars.
or porn.... or lads mags...
Congrats on you club being featured, ours was a few months ago. We don't have many choices in Richmond where to go to buy AP and I have to find an excuse to walk all the way to WHS to get at copy. Usually I'd buy a Digital SLR photography as well as an AP if it was worth buying. Now that that Digital SLR photography and Practical Photography are no more the choices on the shelves are limited to copy paste versions of Digital Camera (some months good, some months poor)
F50 1.7. SMC-FAs 24, 35, 50 1.4, 85, 135. HD-FA15-30, DFA24-70, D-FA*70-200. The SMC-FA Limited Trinity.

Some Mamiya and some Nikon
I ditched AP some time ago as I was fed up with re-hashed articles and the boringly regular Pentax is doomed comments.
I now buy Outdoor Photography and Black and White Photography. Both are printed monthly and are available at Tescos along with your meat and veg!!!
I will have to keep buying one now! Which is a pain because there is little of interest to me and I get it free online from the library but I would hate to see it disappear.
Well done to you and the editor.
But the problem is that if everyone looks at it for free, it will have to rely entirely on advertising to make any money (which I suspect is largely the case now anyway). This inevitably impacts editorial independence, where the largest advertisers always get the best reviews
