I still get PhotoNews , which is free. Quite a number of years ago I was at one of the better camera stores in the 'Peg and they were giving out free subscriptions to this magazine, which I signed up for and the free mags continue to come. Not a bad mag, but seems to promote certain manufacturers goods, not including Pentax. But then again, how much did I pay for it.
Photo Life. I'm not that familiar with. I don't know if they had much of a presence in Western Canada. I may have seen the odd issue at a newsstand, over the years.
However, sad to see yet another print journal close down and I've always liked print magazines. I recall the golden era of magazines, which to me was the 1960's. Magazines, many then had a lot of editorial, advertising and were very competitive in getting out information. The newsstands were over full of glossy magazines competing for consumer attention.
