EMS came through just in time for christmas
was a little worried about the shipping delays during the festive season, but i guess it helps being in Asia and relatively close to China.
anyway, the pros and cons on these latest 111J and 177L have been well documented and fiercely debated over, so i shall not go into that.
all i want to say is that being an owner of a number of PAM gens currently, i'm absolutely amazed at the quality of these latest reps, especially the 177L. and honestly for the money they're asking for, it's a no brainer. they are extremely good out of the box, very decent lume, though the more nitpicky ones will always find something to mod/improve. but for the general population, i'd just say change out the rep strap and put on a quality pair of shoes and you're good to go.
i'd probably wear these for a while, before cannabalising some of the parts for future projects. might even pick up a couple more of these just for the caseset since it sure is a pretty damn good caseset.
anyway, on to the pics... hope you like them
