I just ordered the Tiffen 77mm VND from B&H through their deal of the day: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=invoice&A=details&Q=&sku=813278&is=REG In reading prior reviews about the Tiffen VND on this forum, it sounds like this is a really good deal. As a deal zone item, the...

Apple has just reduce the price of its Retina iMacs. My 21-inch iMac is from 2010 and I am very close to running out of space on the one terabyte hard disk due to my ever expanding collection of photos and videos. I want to get a 27-inch iMac with a 3 TB hard drive. Beyond that, I'm not sure...

Hi, I work in Washington DC and plan to go to the National Mall over my noon hour tomorrow to photograph vintage WWII planes fly from the Washington Memorial over the Mall and toward the Capitol. I've never shot flying planes before and am asking for your advice. I plan to bring my Canon 6D...

Today only, B&H has for its deal of the day a 52mm B+ W XS-Pro circular polarizing filter on sale for about half price. This is the one with the outstanding nano coatings. This is the size you need for the EF-M 18-55 mm lens on an EOS-M camera. Sadly, the other sizes do not seem to be on sale...

I was searching eBay for a low-priced EF-M 11-22 mm lens and I ran across this incredible deal for the EF-M to EF adapter at just under $37. I paid a little more than twice that for mine. So while this deal won't do me any good, I post as my little part in giving back to the CR forum...

Hi all, I would like to travel to Cuba next year, taking either a photographic tour or workshop. I'd really like to go there before capitalism and commercialism over run the place. Because of my job, I have to travel in a manner that is 100% in compliance with US federal statutes and...

Hi all, I am hoping some of you can give me some advice. I'm in Hawaii and have been having fun with my B+W UV and CPL Kasemann filters and my Lee and Hitech 4x6 filters. Unfortunately, they all now have this film of salt and possibly fine sand on them. How do I clean them with...

Hi M owners, I hope you can provide some advice. I just received my new EOS-M with the 18-55mm as part of a kit and also a 22mm I purchased separately, all which I bought from 6ave during the recent eBay sale. The IQ of the images seem to be fine and I love the color and contrast. However...

Dear Forum Members, I'm interested in knowing how well the Lightroom for iPad app works, or whether I should get a MacBook Pro. Here's the backstory: I will be attending a two-day workshop on macro flower photography taught by a well known, professional photographer in NYC in two weeks. The...

I just ordered the Lee Big Stopper tonight from B&H and it looks like they still have some available on their website.

I will be going to Hawaii in August and thought that might be a great place to use a Lee Big Stopper. For a few moments last night, I thought Adorama had one in stock, but it turns out it was out of stock. Oh well, I ordered it and at least I'm now on the waiting list! In the meantime, I would...

I will be going to Honolulu, Hawaii in August and may want to do some limited amount of snorkeling. I currently have a Canon s100. The waterproof cases are not inexpensive so my question is would I get better pictures using a case with my s100 or spending the money on a P&S camera that is...

Hi all, I am extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to meet up with a friend of mine in Las Vegas while the CES will be going on. My friend will be working at the CES and I will have three full days in Las Vegas in addition to the afternoon and evening of the day I arrive. I plan to spend...

I have an almost 40-year old, very heavy but in excellent condition Velbon tripod. I plan to keep it, but I would like to get a light-weight travel tripod to take to Hawaii with me this coming summer and to have for other non-car trips as well. I was at one of Calumet's stores yesterday and...

Hi, I would very much like some advice in determining which lenses to sell if any. For bodies, I have a 6D and T1i. For lenses, I have: Canon's: 24-105L 70-300L 100L Macro (as soon as it's delivered!) 40mm pancake EF 28-105 USM (bought in 2001, probably v1) EF-S 18-55 EF-S 55-250 (bought in...

Hi, In preparation for my trip to Tanzania (leaving Monday), I thought I'd check to see if my new SD cards were in working order. They're new so they should be, but I'm operating under a trust but verify mode. :) The cards all seemed fine, but at some point, I had trouble ejecting some from...

Hello! Just over a month from now, I will be going on an 8-day photo safari to northern Tanzania and a 4-day post-safari trip to Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. Thanks to the help I've received from a number of you Forum members, many of my questions have been answered. I'm hoping you will help me...

Discussions on this forum, and a recent leak in my ceiling (which has been fixed and fortunately did no damage to my camera gear) have led me to thinking about getting the Pelican Storm im 2720 case so I can store all of my gear in one place. (I looked at all of the various sizes and this one...

I have a Canon 6D, T1i, and s100. I am planning to take all 3 on an upcoming photo safari in Tanzania. To reduce weight, I'm thinking of just taking cards, although I will have my iPhone and maybe my iPad. (I don't have a laptop and am trying to avoid taking one even if I had one.) Is there an...

I know backpacks have been dealt with in the column, but I haven't seen a lot discussions about light weight ones. I'm planning to go on a photo safari in Tanzania and at a key point in the trip, for an interior flight, my total combined luggage must weigh no more than 33 pounds. Many backpacks...
