Penalty For Missing 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.

Protects well without optical penalty

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.

I have a vintage Nikon 500mm mirror lens that was missing the original cap; it's a weird size, 88mm; gave this a try. With a layer of fabric tape on the inside rim or the cap it fits fine.

I was missing a rear lens cap and I like to keep all products especially lenses with the same brand, this can also fit on canon ef mount lens just to feel a little more sturdy when standing them up

I bought a few used Minolta Maxxium AF Lenses that were missing their rear lens caps. These work perfectly on all Sony A-Mount Lenses and Minolta A-Mount Lenses. ~PhotosByMeta

Finally available in the US. It has all the features missing on my Hadley small, particularly the top handle and the rear zipper compartment. Well worth the wait. Of course, it has the expected Billingham quality.

Adding these to my home theater changed the way I listen when watching movies. I have a pair of Klipsch RP8000 as fronts with a B&W Nautilus center, SVS rear, 2 REL 12" subs in the rear and a pair of SVS 13" subs up front. These are what was missing. Sure I had enough of the low end, the fronts and center were great but there was one dimension that was missing, these. I added these to make an 11.1.4 system and the increased dimensional sound was amazing. I was missing the side dimension as say a vehicle, ammunition, etc., were passing by. previously it would move from front to rear almost as though the sound had decreased until it reached the rear but the level of direction these provide gave moving another full option when listening. Truly a great pair of high quality speakers. Klipsch buyer since 1987 when I purchased my first pair of K-Horns.

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!!!
