Phoblographer: The End for Pop Photo?

The Phoblographer is reporting that the end for Popular Photographer and American Photographer magazines is nigh. These major photography magazines, held by the publisher, Bonnier, were the cornerstone of photography publishing back in the day. Today, the claim is that the March/April edition will be their last.

The popphoto.com site as of writing still accepts subscriptions and is publishing new web articles, such as this one on the COOPH rope strap for Leica cameras.

New: Lomography Color Negative Film F²/400

Lomography does it again, coming out with something new for film photographers. Revived from a jumbo roll of Italian film stock stored in the Czech Republic for 7 years, Lomography Color Negative Film F²/400 is available for a limited time. Due to the size of the jumbo roll, only a limited amount of film is available. Price for a ten pack is around US$50. Supplies are going fast!

Lomography gushes that the film has "a wonderfully unique aesthetic with traces of the distinctive X-Pro look. What’s more, it produces beautiful blue tones in certain shooting conditions, making it perfect for experimenting!" At this price, well worth experimenting with and getting a unique look.

The past year has been great for film aficionados, with the new Ferrania P30 Alpha, Japan Camera Hunter Street Pan 400, and more.

Around the web, see also Vincent Moschetti's review on Petapixel of Kodak Ektar 100 for landscape photography. Vincent has some nice pics of Ireland on this film.
