We use cloth diapers so our requirements were a little different. We wanted a top loader, with selectable fill level (not just auto-fill), second rinse, and it couldn't be an He.
With that in mind, there really was only one option, I believe the model is the GE
GTWN4250DWS. Lowes, Sears, and BestBuy and I believe Home Depot all carried it, so it was easy to find over here. It has been working wonderfully for us and has a nice variety of cycle options.
My favorite vacuum: sebo felix. I hated the dyson and all other bagless ones.
Favorite toaster: breville smart oven (not the compact version). We use it for baking and roasting whenever it will hold what we're making, pretty much anything in an 8" x 8" baking dish. It'll hold a bundt pan or two loaf pans too.

Try flicking the AF switch to MF and see if it'll fire while on manual focus

I looked at the travel angel series but ended up getting a sirui t1005x because it was fairly cheap and fit in my carry-on bag. It was $179 shipped from Hong Kong with ball head.
Sorry to not answer your point but I had a hell of a time finding info on travel sized tripods when I was looking.

You can take apart two apple remotes, solder the ir leds to a headphone jack and trigger it from your phone. That's what I did.

If you can live with 30MB/s vs the 45MB/s you can get the Ultra version of the card for $29 at B&H - link Not that crazy of a savings, but $12 is $12.

I have a ZX-L and use my flash on auto mode for fill. I set my SB-28 to auto, and then set it to one or two stops less than what I'm shooting.
E.g., If I was shooting 400asa film at f8 I'd set the speedlight to iso 400, A mode, and f4 then fire away. A mode will work either direct or bouncing off a wall/ceiling.

I'll admit that I dont usually adjust the exposure +2 and slide the mids that far to the left but I find it hard to believe that this kind of post-processing is rarely used on the forums. I didn't even adjust white balance! :lol:

Do you even have to focus with this lens?
I mean even at f 3.5 you can still have everything from, what, four feet to infinity in focus?

Hey all,
I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but with using Bing cashback you can get 30% off of the pentax-mount Vivitar 85/1.4 manual-focus lens.
In Nikon-mount, Ken Rockwell seems to give it a pretty good review: Vivitar 85mm f/1.4
I've never used Bing cashback so, your mileage may vary but here's the basics of doing it.
1. Go to Bing and do a search for Overstock
2. Just below "ALL RESULTS" you should see a blue overstock.com link that says "Bing cashback" on the same line. Click the blue link.
3. Even though it says 15% on the search page when you click the link a window will pop up saying that it's 30% cash back, you will need to sign in with a microsoft/hotmail account or sign up for an account
4. Do a search for Pentax 85
Again, I've never used Bing cashback so I have no idea how long it takes Microsoft/Bing to send you your money...
edit:
cashback has now dropped to 15% |
