Are their any classic camera mags .I have see plenty for DSLRs but nothing for classic cameras .I think it would be a large and growing market .
 
You'll have to settle for back issues of Popular Photography, Modern Photography, and American Photographer, all of which are accessible through Google Books. Or garage sales.
 
Ebay can be a good source too. I picked up a box with around 200 Amateur Photographer magazines from the mid to late 80's earlier in the year for something like £2. Enjoyed the equipment reviews & the adverts from the time seeing what gear cost back then.
 
I've managed to acquire some that has the write-ups of cameras that I have to get the perspective at the time of their release.

 
This is the sort of thing i am after . I have an old classic motorcycle and love reading old road tests and modern tests of the same machines i just wondered if there was an equivalent for cameras
 
Just had a look at old camera mags on ebay all it came up with was old porn mags .LOL
 
Hey! It's not nice to laugh at somebodies grandmother.
 
For you guys that read them in circa 1970-1990.....what magazine was your favorite for general, hobby Photo/Camera/Darkroom stuff.?
Thank You
 
My favourite in the UK when I got into photography was 'SLR Photography'. Unfortunately not long after I started to read it on a regular basis it changed. I think it became 'Photo Answers' and that was the beginning of the slippery slope. Another mag was 'Darkroom User' magazine from Ed Buziak. This later became 'Camera and Darkroom' and was the only magazine I ever subscribed too. Sadly Ed moved to France and the magazine disappeared though some articles are to some extent still available on line (https://darkroomuser.wordpress.com). I still read through my copies every now and again.
