2017 Ford Focus Auto Dimming 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.

I was able to use these glasses to view the Eclipse of 2017. Very satisfied!!

I am writing this review because people have been posting negative remarks. To my knowledge of optics, the working range of lenses are about 35mm to 150mm. Anything under that, the focus is inside the lens to your camera. Once you find that sweet spot, you can auto focus. Some people have remarks of it not being functional. The pins align with the connectors. I have a 18mm lens and found focus deep inside the lens. I could not focus. I was touching the object as I focused. Never achieve that to get it in focus. Once your eyes see the focus on live view, then you can auto focus. I also have a 14mm to 150mm zoom lens and I rotated the focus from 14mm and it came to view at 35 mm and anything higher. So these tubes work.

This less expensive alternative to a more expensive brand name work just as well and still allow me to auto focus before I fine tune with the live view. I've had extension tubes before (way back in the film days) and knew what they were supposed to do. These don't disappoint.

This is one of Canon's sweetest lenses - if you can justify the cost. Yields crisp, ultra sharp images from within inches to infinity. Corrects image distortion caused by perspective. Affords the opportunity to unleash your creative juices. I borrowed one of these on a Canon workshop in Death Valley recently and was blown away. I've always read that T/S lenses were for architectural photography - and I'm sure they work well in that field. I'm mostly a landscape photographer and let me tell you, it opens up new creative opportunities. Appreciate that working with a T/S lens is a LOT different than conventional auto-focus lenses. Here's where live view is really useful. Forget about auto focus. Setting up for a T/S shot is every bit as time consuming as if you were shooting with a view camera - 'cause that's essentially what you have. I shoot with 7D, 5DII and 1DIII. I love this lens on all sensors but clearly the full frame yields the biggest effect. Smaller sensors are useful to simulate less wide angle.

does what it's supposed to. keeps auto focus quite well.

I'm using it to mirror my desktop from a Surface Pro (2017) to a Panasonic Viera VT30 plasma TV. Works perfectly, no issues whatsoever. Sends both image and audio signal over HDMI. A little more expensive than some of the other options out there, but I didn't want to take any chances as it seems some don't work properly. This one definitely works.

This lens is absolutely spectacular. It is zoom lens targeted on sports photographers and to me that means that auto focus speed, image quality, and zoom speed are paramount. Auto Focus: Initial testing on a D5 has some of the fastest auto focus speed I have ever seen in any lens, zoom or prime. I am not much of a wildlife photographer, but I tried to do a bit in order to test the auto focus speed and catching the small birds in flight and keeping them in focus was very solid. In the hands of a photographer who has experience birding, I imagine it would be near instant. I will try to update this review from a sports perspective this weekend. Auto Focus #2: I also attached my X2 teleconverter to this lens to see how it handled it. In my estimation the auto focus speed with it attached is about equal to my 200-400mm F4 VRII lens (which has been fast enough to do quite a bit of sports photography). Image Quality: I'm going to admit to not being much of a pixel peeper, but the images from this lens so far (again on the D5) have been excellent. I do not own a very high megapixel camera like a Z7 or a D850, so I don't have a comparison for that, but on the D5 the Bokeh is beautiful and the sharpness is the best I've seen mid-frame, especially at 300mm. The IQ with the X2 teleconverter is obviously not as sharp as without, but it still produces a usable photo as long as you are doing only minimal cropping. Zoom Speed: This might be a personal thing, but when I'm shooting football, I want to be able to zoom fully in and fully out in time to account for the action on the field. This lens allows me to do so in about a quarter turn on the barrel. Fast enough for me to follow a thrown football and get the receiver correctly framed. In conclusion: While I have not owned this lens for very long, so far it is indeed everything it was touted to be. If you have the need and have the means, purchase this lens. You will not regret it.

A very good mirror lens with manual focus

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.
