Kills on one end. Pushes a little on the other.

Posted on June 7, 2011 by Oleg Volk

458 SOCOM approximates full power 45-70 Govt. external ballistics. Anyone who’s fired 45-70 in either a lever action or a bolt rifle knows that the recoil is quite substantial. 458 ought to be as brutal except that it’s used primarily … Continue reading →

Posted on June 1, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Just borrowed that camera with 20/1.7 lens from my friend DDB. First impressions: User interface is very awkward. I had to read the manual in detail just to figure out manual exposure. AF is very good. Face recognition and tracking … Continue reading →
