If my memory serves, I believe that Modern Photo was owned by ABC (the TV
network, as part of their publishing group).  They decided to get out of the
magazine business and sold off all their mags.  Modern Photo was bought by the
owners of Pop Photo and the two were merged.  As it happens, most of the senior
staff at Modern replaced the senior staff at Pop (Keppler, Schneider, etc. are
two of the original Modern staffers still at Pop).

I can't remember if Pop was owned by Ziff Davis back then or by Hachette (as
they are now).

Perhaps they were pissing off a lot of advertisers with
their objective lens reviews? :-)
