2013 Lincoln Mkx Rear View Mirror

These radios are amazing. Installed in my Jeep above my rear view mirror and I am stoked about it. It’s small enough to not be in the way but is great for communicating with fellow Jeep’s. I used the ghost antenna so that it didn’t get wiped out by limbs on the trail. I’m thinking of purchasing the 6db antenna to help increase my range. I feel you can’t go wrong with this radio! Will be purchasing another for my sons Jeep.

In the mid-1980s I bought a Nikon 7.5mm f5.6 circular fisheye. Being an older design (1966) its rear elements protruded into the mirror box. Fortunately my F3 had a hard physical mirror lockup. The external viewfinder for this lens attached to the camera on the original Nikon F/F2’s proprietary flash shoe. I was able to buy an AS-3 flash adapter for the F3. With the F3s mirror locked up I also had to use an hand-held light meter. With amazing depth of foield focusing was never an issue. The old zoom lens had six filters on a wheel. One was a skylight and the other five were strongly colored for B&W film. While I liked the circular results, using the lens was a hassle. I often had my shoes or forehead in the picture. On a sunny day, my images suffered from solar flares. My new Nikon 8-15mm AF-S fisheye has none of those old problems. It fits on my DSLRs without any problem. It doesn’t need an external finder or separate light meter. At the 8mm setting (and lens hood off) I get a circular image very much like the vintage fisheye. The new lens is faster and focusable. Like my 14mm f2.8 Nikkor, this zoom uses gel filters inserted in the rear of the lens. I really don’t like this arrangement. This fisheye is similar in weight and size to the 14mm lens. I am also not fond of the electronic aperture control first seen on G lenses. Without an aperture ring one cannot use this zoom on older cameras. At the longer end of the zoom range (12-15mm) the image fills the (FX) frame and lens hood stays out of the way. This image is similar to my inexpensive Bower (Samyang?) 8mm fisheye with its fixed lens hood (and DX coverage). So far I haven’t used my new lens much but I think I will like it.

This works well as a head strap but it also works if you want to use it to wrap around something that may be easily scratched. This could mean the side view mirror of a car or maybe just to wrap around your pet. Over all, this product is one to have handy.

This rear cam is small enough to not interfere with your view out your back window. The picture quality is great!!!

The MKX18-55mm T2.9 represents a convergence of build quality, optical performance and price that the independent film market has been largely missing... until now. For the price of a single cinema prime you can now score an excellent par-focal zoom. And finally, you can do so without making compromises in quality.  When used on a FujiFilm body the lens data is recorded, and lens parameters  are also presented on the cameras display. The MKX series of lenses are true professional level lenses. While the lenses are optically pure, the images they produce have magic to them and never feel sterile. These lenses have mojo... and that attribute makes them a pleasure to film with. Prior to purchasing the MKX18-55, we did our homework. Looking at the other offerings from established manufacturers. After extensive research we found that only one lens offered the outstanding quality and optical excellence that we demanded... whilst having a size/weight and price that fit well with our projects. That lens was the MKX. We can highly recommend it. We do plan to also add the 50-135mm T2.9. But we wanted time to get to know the 18-55 before adding the second lens.

Only negative......battery drawer is too hard to "eject"; but, other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play.

feels really cool to have a professional clapper on set. No more Lincoln logs for this guy!

This is my second dash camera from Garmin. I use it for a rear view. The size is phenomenal. It doesn't attract attention. Very good software. Voice commands are very well designed and functional. It syncs with the front camera and works very well with the parking cable. The image quality is pretty good.. Higher resolution would require a lot more disk space.

I have always been a fan of a blacked out rear so the Trij HD's have been my go to. The new HD XR's do the same thing with the added benefit of a better view of your intended target. B&H had the best price with quick shipping. Have continually been pleased with their service and pricing!

We rarely use the rear LCD and use the view finder most of the time. This makes viewing it much easier in bright sunlight and just snaps on to the camera. It will get in the way of your rear LCD. Works with our Sony A77 II. ~photosbymeta
