The latter two are West Coast US magazines which have a rather higher quality than most US or Canadian magazines. "Lenswork" is from Anacortes, WA which is about as close to Vancouver as Seattle, so it can be considered 'local'. :-) I don't subscribe to these magazines, as they would cost considerably more to subscribe to than to buy at a newstand. The places I buy them charge me the US amount, but I pay in Canadian Dollars. I still look at Shutterbug for the same reasons I did years ago; for the ads. - -- * Henning J.
