Hama Double Bubble Level Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The first hotshoe bubble level I purchased survived a whole year and a half before it fell off my camera somewhere in northern Iceland (I did spend several hours back tracking but I was unable to find this bright green $30 piece of plastic in the snow). As far as tools go, this is one of the most frequently used item in my camera bag. I use it for the vast majority of my shots to ensure I have a level horizon (which makes stitching panoramic shots much easier). The only drawbacks are that the plastic may eventually wear away enough that it no longer fits in the hotshoe leaving it rather prone to slipping out without much force and the price: it's a $30 piece of plastic with an air bubble! In all fairness, it does hold up to abrasion rather well.

Beautiful crystal clear housing slips on a camera shoe mount or tripod thread. It is easy to use and helps to level the camera while taking a photo.

Adorama RS-CS920 Deluxe Copy Stand with 36" Column & 18" x 18" Baseboard. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product comes with paint chipped off at various places, some metal parts appears rusted.
The biggest disappointment is that it does not come with light arms. descriptions indicate that "Copy Lights sold separately," which I interpreted as the actual lights in the images and not the adjustable light arm too. I just looked up "Adorama RS-C150 Copy Light Set, Two Copy Lights with Sdjustable Arms" and they are out of stock. so you will likely to be buying a stand alone copy stand without compatible light arms available.
The shipping is almost $25, thus the price is not competitive compared to other sellers. Also, the shipment is poorly packaged, the corner of the base has wood/paint chipped off when arrived.
I gave it two stars because the stand itself is easy to install, and fairly light. its quality is barely okay (chipped paints at various locations not due to shipping damage). but poor shipping package, and the image/descriptions are misleading.

Kalt PC to Hot Shoe Adapter with Connecting Cord. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're going to buy this flash hot-shoe to PC cord adapter, chances are you will need the Pocket Wizard 804-605 MPCF Miniphone Male to PC Female Adapter. I've added this to my review because it's not easy to find on Amazon's site when searching. In fact, it's not easy to find at any photography store or photography site. I wish that made one of these hot-shoe adapters with a miniphone connector on the end of the cord instead.
So, to make that work, you need this adapter. They make an adapter with multiple inputs, multiple possibilities (e.g., PC female, PC male, etc.), but it doesn't connect as firmly as this one. I bought one of these about nine months ago and just ordered another because sometimes I want two and because sometimes I worry that I'll lose this little thing. I can't find that anywhere else.By the way, I agree with the other reviewers I see here that say the cord is flimsy. The shielding come loose from near the base of the hot-shoe pretty easily and quickly. So, try to handle it carefully--don't tug on it. Based on the poor quality, I would say buy something else, but there's nothing else. Other adapters don't have that separate center point for some reason and short out the flash. So, buy this hot-shoe adapter if you need it and get an extra one while you're at it.

Adorama Step-Up Adapter Ring 62mm Lens to 77mm Filter Size Review

Adorama Budget Macro Focusing Rail Set with 4 Way, Fine Control, Camera Focusing Rail for Macro Photography. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is very good for macro photography. Moves left and right, foward and back so you do not need to move your tripod to get in position again to reframe or focus the subject. Smooth and very small fraction of an inch foward and back movements allow for macro subject to become in focus without having to go back to lens focus ring after you have previously set the len's depth of field. Great for when an insect moves in any direction as you do not need to move the tripod and miss the shot.
One thing Adorama missed. A quick release instead of the screw to attach the rail to the camera so if you need to walk to the next shot you do not find yourself walking with your camera dangling around your neck with the bulky 1 1/2lbs. rail. The rail should have a quick release and be attached to a ball head with a quick release that is attached to a macro photography type tripod. The rail quick release will allow you to walk with it attached to the tripod and have no need to break it down or keep it attached to your camera.
Over-all a very good product.

OP/TECH 1501372 Pro Loop Strap for Camera Equipment (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are two versions of the excellent camera strap. There's this one and then there's the Op/Tech Pro Camera Strap 3/8" - Black.
There are two differences (besides cost).
This strap is considerably shorter. To my mind you can always make the longer strap shorter but once you've let this one out all the way that's all there is. I'm 6'3" and with this strap let out all the way I can sort of comfortably carry a camera over my shoulder. If I want to put the strap over my head it is very uncomfortable.
The shorter strap uses a loop through attachment while with the longer strap you need to thread the strap through your camera eyelet and then the strap buckle. I purchased the shorter strap (not realizing how short it was) for the convenience of the loop attachment. After buying the longer strap I've found that threading the strap isn't that much less convenient.
My suggestion would be to buy the other, longer strap unless you are certain the additional length will not come in handy. Either way, these are extremely comfortable straps.
Additional details about the length difference:
One strap has a max length of 46" and the other a bit over 56". The difference is the length of the two attachment pieces that connect either end of your camera to the center strap. The shorter strap comes with these: Op/Tech System Connector #9 Uni Adapter Loop, 10.5" - 13.5" (26,7 CM - 34,3 CM) each side and the longer one with these: OP/TECH USA System Connectors 3/8" (9,525mm) - Carrying strap connector - black (pack of 2 ). You can see that by going to any of the larger camera store sites and reviewing the details listed there about the two straps. Just google: "Op/Tech 1501372" and then "Op/Tech 1501012" to do searches on the two different straps mentioned in this review.
I found this out the hard way, by ordering the shorter strap without knowing the difference. I "fixed" it by ordering both the longer version of the strap and an extra set of extensions.

Adorama Step-Down Adapter Ring 58mm Lens to 52mm Filter Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good quality, serves its purpose.
To clear up the 58mm is the part that attaches to your lens and the 52mm is the part that becomes your new thread size. Most camera lenses are 58mm so you are stepping down a "size". If you are unsure what thread size you have, check your lens from the front and look for an omega sign, thats your thread size. DO NOT confuse with the camera focal length also measured in mm which also ranges in the 50-55mm.

Allows you to use smaller size filters on lenses with a larger diameter thread. The first number is the size that screws into the lens, the second number is the filter size. Step " Down" Rings May Cause Vignetting.

Nikon D5000 DX-Format 12.3 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Kit - Refurbished - by Nikon U.S.A. with Nikon 18mm - 55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX (VR) Vibration Reduction Wide Angle Autofocus Zoom Lens, - Refurbished - by Nikon U.S.A. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first DSLR Camera. So far it has exceeded by expectations. The pictures are excellent with the others features making it more than I had hoped in a camera. The long term durability of the camera remains to be seen. I am a Nikon Camera owner for many years. I have F-3HP, F2 w/MD, FM2 w/MD, N60, and all the old AI lenses to go with them.... Digital is a different world. Instant verification of your results...can't be beat. Auto Focus...wonderful. I still sense some lag in the digital systems as opposed to the instant results of the OLD School cameras. Ask me how I feel in another year....I have the 18-55MM & 55-200MM lens for the camera and it appears that is all I am going to need...a lot less to carry and a light lighter...vibration reduction is a blessing...My camera price was good as I purchased a refurbished by Nikon camera...no problems so far. Wish me luck.
