Hong Kong Music Recording Studio

As Hong Kong philosopher Yuk Hui described process of remembering: .. reconstruction where the past and the future is brought into the present. Not much choice here. SX70 only takes this film without the ND filter. Will go broke but will keep the memories!

I've had the Canon release and a couple from Hong Kong, and they all popped out of the port on the camera, no matter how hard I pushed them in. This one has a wide collar that holds it tight, and I even had to tug it to get it out! It's because unlike all the others which have very narrow collars (see red arrow below), the Vello has one that's about 1/4 wide (see blue arrow below). I bought a couple to have a backup on travel shoots.

Simply brilliant, I could not find a filter this big in Hong Kong and I tried every store. I was not going to take out my new and very expensive telephoto without it. The quality is great, I have tried other filters before, but this is superb, I changed about 7 lens to use this filter and now I know why people use this brand. The feel of the quality is surprising when you take off the old Hoya to put this B+W filter on, its about double the weight in glass.

I was torn between this lens and the Sigma Art 24-70 2.8 for a week in Hong Kong. I own a Sigma Art 135 and am happy with it. I went with the Tamron due to poor reviews of the Sigma in re sharpness. The Tamron is a heavy lens which when mated to my D750 made for a big chunk of camera to lug around for a week. Add in the Tamron 70-200 2.8 and another Nikon body and the backpack was pretty heavy. That said, Im quite happy with the performance of the lens. Auto focus seemed quite snappy and the results were quite sharp. It should be noted that Im not a pro and most of my tourist shots were hand held. Tripod mounted shots of the Hong Kong skyline were quite sharp in my estimation. Overall, very satisfied.

I purchased the lens one day before G.E.M. X.X.X. LIVE Concert Hong Kong Part II solely for taking photos in the concert. It proved to be the best lens for such purpose. The photo was taken hand held, without flash.

After being frustrated buying cheaply made intervalometers from Hong Kong that would break within 6 months, I finally decided to get the real deal. Worth every penny! Just like all Canon products, it has a solid feel to it and the quality is quickly apparent. I've been shooting some long time lapses and this thing hasn't skipped a beat. VERY happy to have this in my bag!

Three months ago I had to order a replacement cartridge from Hong Kong because Vivid Light Magenta Ink for the Surecolor p800 was no longer available. The first one from Hong Kong worked fine. The second and third ones were rejected by my printer. The Hong Kong cartridges were $97.00 each not $61.00. Today I'm back in business and very happy with these new cartridges. They work perfectly. Hallelujah.

I bought this to cover the ongoing protests in Hong Kong and am so glad I did. The build quality and water resistance is excellent - not only did the chestvest keep all my gear dry from heavy monsoon rains in September (which knocked out one of my Sony A7III bodies), it also protected everything inside when I was hit and sprayed twice by police water cannons (which fire 127kg of force at a 10 meter distance.) Impressively, all the electronics, gear and documents inside the vest survived no worse for wear (although I can't say the same for that Sony ... at least it started working after some quality time with a hairdryer.) I really can't think of a better torture test for this product than getting hit with a police water cannon, and it passed with flying colors. The Foul Weather version is definitely worth the extra cash outlay. Bonus: the colored dye and capsaicin additive laced into the water both washed out! Manufacturer tag recommends handwashing, but I machine washed it on gentle and hung to air dry. I wish the shoulder straps were easier to configure, a bit more comfortable, and held their position better, but the overall design is excellent and well-executed. It held up very well while I was chasing protestors and police around Hong Kong in full gear. Front pockets make it easy to access phone/powerbank, lenses, flash, snacks, etc - the plastic clips and straps are useful for hanging carabiners & other attachments (helmet, respirator/gas mask, etc), although this will obviously affect your weight distribution. This product is too bulky and high-profile for casual shooting or everyday use, but when you're covering heavy action and need to be mobile while carrying a lot of gear, this is one of the best options on the market.

i use these for my commute. they are clearly designed for studio recording use, but they have noise isolation, so even when i'm not listening to music, i still don't hear noise on the train. they need a bit of stretching, but are pretty comfortable. a bit heavy for most people, but i like the weight, it makes them feel substantial. the cable stood up to my one year old biting it, very strong. and while its not necessary for music enjoyment, the mono/stereo switch is fun to play with and gives you an appreciation of what goes into making a track.

For anyone passionate about composing and recording music at home, away from a commercial studio, this product is ideal. There are 4 XLR / 1/4'' inputs with preamps, and the interface also has 48V phantom power so mics can bus power from the device itself. I was used to just running directly into my computer and having this interface made a world of a difference. A musician friend actually turned me onto it. I can have bass, guitar, synth, and microphone all connected at once, with zero noticeable latency. Also, the connection and the quality of the audio I record is pristine. I would recommend this project to anyone and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
