I believe that you can see most of the magazine at http://www.lenswork.com/ although I prefer the dead tree version. As to Aperture, that is a personal decision. I find that only 1 out of 50 issues to have any value for me. Possibly, they are so leading edge that in a few years there will be value for me, or not.

There's probably subscription information in the issue I have. I _did_ like that issue. It's a notch above other things I've seen. I don't subscribe to anything so there's a little room to move. Don't want to show my age, or ignorance, too much. Does Aperature still have a decent product?
