1 Stringed Bowed Instruments

Perfect. My children can now practice their stringed instruments at their desks or any table without having to set up a regular sized music stand. We love the fact that it is manufactured in the USA.

1 stop is the right amount for me.

I started out using pvc pipe but they bowed under the weight. Bought these to replace the pvc pipes and no more bends.

Action is very close to a stringed piano pedal. Holds the notes well. Great product and price

I received this lens today, and immediately mounted it on my D500 and tested it. True to it's 180 degree view, you have to take care unless you want a lot of bowed lines. However, that's one of the reasons I bought the lens. I have several wide angle lenses by Nikon and Tokina, and this one fills the ultra-wide angle niche. I opened the images in Photoshop, and examined them, and the results are excellent. The colors were nicely saturated, but not overly so. Since it's such a short focal length lens, the camera's AF doesn't have to do any searching, and the focus snapped in very nicely. I'll be using this lens for flower field pictures mostly, although the appeal of some architectural scenes with some bowed lines is also on tap. It's difficult to pack much more into a lens for the price. Earlier, I owned a couple of Sigma zoom lenses, but wasn't particularly impressed. However, this 16mm f2.8 is a real improvement.

1/2 the price of local shops.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

The Primera carts work until 1%, then I swap them out. What else to say?

1 worked great and one was a bit flakey, not sure why.

Great replacement lamp for all of our instruments.
