Post Office Blue Boxes

Picked up the 11-24 at the Post Office; took few shots of the steering wheel; and drove right into the Talkeetna mountains. Having used fisheyes for year I thought I would know what to do with an 11mm rectilinear...but this lens is different. My instant favorite lens for off-trail Alaska landscapes. Image quality and sharpness are excellent. Distortion is very low. Makes incredible panoramas that don't look stretched out. Heavy...but it's also a 20, 17, 14,13 and 12mm! Once in my hands weight doesn't matter! Use the 11mm most but love the zoom!

I was impressed by this Benro tripod right out of the box with it's blue carrying case with ample pockets and blue satchel bag for protection. The legs are sturdy; one detaches to become a monopod; the 3/8 mounting screw flips over into 1/4; the blue locking ring keeps center post secure; and the extra , shorter post allows for near-ground level shooting. Sure there are much more expensive Benro models, and other brands to get lighter, sturdier, and higher but this is a great all-purpose tripod for $165.

I had been trying to find the EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye lens for several months (apparently sold out everywhere. Eventually, I stumbled upon this one available through Canon's refurbished site. As far as I can tell, mine is in fine condition. I have been using it for about 5 weeks now and am beginning to understand a bit more about how to best use it. I use it on my R5 with the EF adapter and at 8mm it provides a full circle image. I have learned that you need to watch out that you don't include your own feet or shadow in the frame. I have noticed a blue fringe around the extreme edge of the photo and have also noticed some flare (even extending outside the circle) when the sun is at the outside edge of the lens. When working with the circular image in post processing, I crop to 1x1 with post-crop vignetting (changing the outer black area to white and shrinking the circle just enough to cover the blue fringe). Also in post processing, make sure you don't enable lens profile correction as that may straighten the image and ruin the circle.

Post Office took their time, but arrived packaged perfectly and I cannot be happier as fits my Canon SX 70

While the US Post Office took an extra week and an half to deliver this, the item arrived and it works very well. Easy to set up and works as advertised. It's light weight means you should handle carefully, I imagine. Also, since the transmitter has no power switch (it only powers when pressing the trigger) you should do what I do and remove the batteries when it's in the bag to prevent running them down. In all, definitely worth the price.

I ordered the official mount kit for my Epson 5030 projector. It only came with a 6 extension. I rated this product 5 stars because it does exactly what it promises to do. It extends my Chief RPA mount down another foot, placing the projector exactly where I want it.While I could accomplish the same thing with a $$1.5 diameter steel gas pipe from Home Depot (yes I was actually using that). I would still need to paint the pipe white to match everything else.The Chief pipe is also aluminum, not steel, so its less weight/strain on the actual mount thats bolted to the floor joists above in the ceiling. Finally the Chief pipe has a square cut out, that can be used to hide the power/HDMI cables in. Make the installation look much neater & professional. For $23 this is pretty much a no brainer. Be advised B&H photo free super saving shipping means it will ship FedEx out of Edison, NJ to a local post office. From there the post office will deliver to you. I ordered on a Friday, received on a Thursday. So expect at least a week for arrival. If you need this item faster, use UPS ground or air. UPS ground ships from NJ/NY to VA/MD/DC in one day and was only $$more. Since I was in a rush, I should have chose that option.

The shipping was unbelievably fast and product was packaged so that it could survive anything the post office could throw at it and was in perfect condition when it arrived. As always, will continue to choose B&H over every other competitor.

Product works fine. Great ND variable filter. Post office delivery is terrible. Tracking of the package is less than acceptable.

Bought it just in case. Picked up the package at the Post Office, and went out to shoot some fall foliage. I set my camera on its tripod to steady the shot. It began to rain. Pulled the Sleeve out of its package and set it up very quickly. I got some interesting shots. I was soaked, the tripod was soaked, the camera was bone dry.

I worked for many years at a post-production house where these headphones were provided as part of my edit bay. The office could be loud at times, but these blocked out most of the noise and gave a rich, immersive audio experience. I wore them between 7-10 hours per day, and only had to replace the ear pads once after about 3 years. When starting my own company, there was no question in my mind; these were the headphones that I needed in my arsenal. Whether using them out in the field or in my home office, this model has proven time and time again to be a fantastic value, and a must-have for any editor.
