Pimax Crystal Wide FoV Lenses Review + Almalence EXCLUSIVE | Wider FoV Does Not Come for Free

After waiting an eternity and going on a hiatus I'm now back with a Crystal wide FoV lens review. These are somewhat of a mixed bag that won't be for everyone. But they're still interesting, especially with trying Almalence!

Still not gonna be back to regular videos yet. Hopefully won't be another half a year till my next one.
