admin | January 31, 2010

Cignias’ NAO Symphony still doesn’t seem to be widely available following its CES unveiling, but our good pal Dave Zatz looks to have sourced one from the wild, wild abyss.

Armatix has apparently been working on its so-called “smartgun” concept for quite a while, but it’s now finally shown up at the Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT, naturally) with its first actual product: a .22-caliber pistol that relies on a wristwatch as a safety. As you can probably figure out, the gun will [...]

admin | January 31, 2010

Today we have something a bit different for you over on SLRgear: Rather than testing and reviewing a single lens, we’ve partnered with LensRentals.com to test *5* different samples of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM.
