    Kase Wolverine Magnetic Filter System Review...

    After researching for quite a bit, I finally bit the bullet and purchased the Kase Wolverine Magnetic System. I initially ordered the 82mm set (Adapter, CPL, 0.9 GND, 3.0 ND) to accommodate my RF 15-35mm and EF 24-70mm lenses which both have 82mm filter threads. ($381 at B&H - no tax with B&H...

    Magnetic Filter Recommendations?

    Anyone have any experience using magnetic filter systems (Freewell, Kase, others?!) I have been using screw in filters (most B&W) for a while now with good results. Although I am too lazy to transition over to the plate (Lee or similar) systems, I find the magnetic systems intriguing. Any...

    Gitzo Mini Traveler Tripod Arca Clamp

    Just wanted to post on my experience replacing the clamp on the Gitzo Mini Traveler Tabletop Tripod. I loved the tripod, but would have loved for it to include a compact arca swiss clamp. I researched and saw that it was possible to swap out the current fixed clamp for a compact arca one. I...

    Canon Loan Evaluation Return Stolen/Missing during FedEx Shipment!!

    Best of luck to you.... I was very disheartened when the claims department denied me twice (once on the lower level and then again when I appealed it) despite having clear evidence that my package mysteriously "lost weight"... It wasn't until I emailed all of the corporate contacts I could...

    Gitzo Legende Tripod GK1545T-RTI Review -Indiegogo

    I received my Gitzo GK1545T-RTI Legende Tripod earlier today and wanted to post a quick review, both on the tripod and the crowdfunding experience. I hope this will help others in making future decisions involving Gitzo and/or Indiegogo.... Like many others, when I first heard about this...

    Canon officially announces the RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM

    I'm not sure....used EF prices may drop a little, but I think a lot of people will be sticking with their EF versions. The RF 24-70 has been out for a little while, yet the used prices for the highly coveted 24-70 ii haven't decreased much on the used market. The new RF is $2300, maybe $2100...

    Canon officially announces the RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM

    I feel everyone else's disappointment. I was very excited to replace my current 16-35mm f/4 lens, which I love, with new RF glass gaining 2mm on the wide end. This would have been my first RF lens upgrade. I was hoping for about a 23% price increase, similar to what they did with the 70-200...

    Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM to be one of the next lenses announced

    Really excited about lens… my 16-35mm f4 is on my camera most of the when walking around the city. I use it for most of my landscape shots… and RF version with 14mm on the wide end within a reasonable price range ($1200ish) would be awesome! Though the $2200 15-35 2.8 is highly regarded… it...

    3 Legged Thing (3LT) Tripod Ballhead

    I wanted to know if anyone has experience using a 3LT Ballheads. I have a Gitzo 1545T that I am happy with for my landscape photography adventures, but I haven't been able to find a ballhead I love yet. I've used a Sunway Foto 28/36, Photoclam 30, Gitzo GH1382QD, Markins Q3i and finally the...

    Gitzo on Indiegogo - Will you be getting one?

    Yes as I understand it...you are funding (or help funding) the company's project by essentially donating to it. A company can offer a perk to certain levels of contributors (i.e. a donation of $519 will be rewarded with a tripod) but it isn't a guarantee. Many things can go wrong during that...

    Rumors are slow, let’s talk RF lens wish lists

    15-35mm f/4 seems like a good and realistic "want". The EF version performed very well at a fraction of the cost of 2.8 version. Priced at around $1200-$1400 MSRP, it would do well.

    Share R5 delivery experience

    I pre-ordered just before 11 AM on launch day from B&H. Status still says backordered. I saw on FM that someone who ordered at 8:47 AM that day contacted customer service and were told that their order will not be in the first batch that is shipped. So presumably, anyone who ordered after that...

    5D Mark IV or not

    With the introduction of the R5, I expect to see more and more used 5DIV bodies on the used market if you are okay with buying used. Right now, I see them (in good condition) going for about $1600 but may drop in the 1400-1500 range over the next few months as the R5 begins shipping.
