If you can read French, this is a great magazine for enthusiasts of photography, either film-based (argentique) or digital (numerique). If you struggle to read French, your visual reward is still ample. Articles are lavishly illustrated and technically detailed. They cover all photography from every angle. Aesthetics of composition, lighting, and such are covered with many examples, including portfolios of both pros and amateurs. You'll find lots of comparison shopping; with markets internationalized, price comparisons are mostly applicable even in the U. S. Every issue has many technical comparisons of films, cameras, lenses. There are abundant articles on techniques in camera, in the darkroom, and on the computer. Other articles cover locations well, OK, it helps to be in France, but that's true apart from photography!...and they have had articles about the U. S. A subscription is pricey, but the magazine is huge in both page format and page count, and a real feast for the eyes. I was debating subscribing, given how complicated it would be from the U. S., but Amazon makes it easy.
