An Early Preview of the Raketa “Polar” 0270

So an important note, I work as an independent consultant to Raketa in North America.  Therefore tis is not a review, but rather a preview.  Raketa did not pay for this content.

The folks in Saint Petersburg have sent a pre-release sample to be reviewed by the press here in North America.  As I am "connected" to Raketa, I am only going to supply some of my own (not-so-sexy) images and the specs.  But rest assured, this sample piece is making the rounds and you will be able to read first-hand reviews shortly.
