26 Jun How Could You Resist? Look At That Deck…
Okay. I have to admit it. The deck looks magnificent. Even for a stills-only shooter it has that techno-appeal that makes me want one. I just have no idea what to do with it. There are a number of these Blackmagic design decks in the Stirling Street...
