Sony FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS Gallery

XGIMI Halo+ (New) with Netflix Projector Review
In 2024 Netflix changed its protocols and licensing standards to be more stringent, meaning that a lot of existing devices could no longer natively stream their content. XGIMI’s existing Halo+ projector was one of those, meaning that now those who…
A Visit To Sigma’s Aizu Factory
The day started off with soft pastels in the sky, but before long the fat, heavy snowflakes that Aizu, Japan is famous for started to fall. To judge from the amount of snow weighing down roofs and banked along the…
