If you watch TV, especially at night, chances are you’ve seen the deluge of infommercials for the P90X system.

Thanks to Chris O. for the tip on the forthcoming HyperPrime lens from Noktor. If you own a micro four thirds camera, this might become your new best friend. At $750, it’s not exactly cheap, but compared to the $10,000 Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH (read hands on review at PopPhoto.com), it’s a steal. With a maximum [...]

A quick check on Cnet’s site and I see that Wired is not alone with their [...]
