(and no, by now I don't recall which ones.)įor S&T I'd love to see more about other aspects of equipment (in addition to what's there, not in place of). I definitely remember reading a couple of equipment reviews that were so lightweight as to be laughable. Maybe that's not accurate, but that's what stuck in my mind.
