While I have been using LF for many years, I have never subscribed to any journals, magazines or periodicals. I wonder which periodicals people find useful or enjoyable, and why.

"View Camera" magazine is essential.
I subscribe to View Camera, Camera Arts, Lenswork. Each has something to offer. Bob
I would also sugest getting the back issues of the Zone VI newsletter, I'm currently reading them myself (was not a photographer when they first appeared), and can tell they have greate value.
They are still available from calumet.
it just so happens I have 52 back issues of "View Camera" that I want to sell.
Photovision, Photo techniques....
Your question is a good one, and those magazine suggested are on my reading list. I'm always looking for more as well, however, I might suggest a periodical which covers "photography" from a different perspective--one that covers a wider spectrum--one I find "essential" just to knowledgable.

View Camera. Photo Technique. DoubleTake.
PDN runs a regular feature about how some some (mostly advertising) shots were made sometimes on large format film, but nothing i find "must reading' on that subject. if you are a professional it is a necessity. Try it at http://www.pdnonline.com
Playboy! The centrfold is still shot with toyo 8x10 and a 14inch lense.
Black & White Photography, english mag, caters to us loonies shooting B/W, pretty good mix of technical stuff and articles about photographers and such. Thankfully it has very few camera reviews. If I want my equipment fix, I surf over here.
B&W Magazine. Good (print quality is spotty sometimes) as a way of getting to see B&W photos without having to fork out a lot of money. It's good to see a magazine that's interested in pictures rather than the next whiz-bang computer plastic wonder. I like it. The money leftover after buying magazines goes into film and paper, rather than photobooks, which with their small print runs, are priced out of my range anyway.
