Programming Scion Tc Auto Dim 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.

My main photo subject is birds in flight. Doing it for decades. So, I am always looking for the best in auto-focus speed and tracking capabilities. I used to shoot with pro Canon bodies and the 600mm f/4.0 and the 400mm f/5.6. When Nikon launched the D5 and D500 I switched over to Nikon. Two reasons; sensor quality and auto-focusing performance. I usually shoot with Nikkor 500mm f/4.0 TC-14E II, TC-17EII and TC-20E II. There's nothing out there capable of acquiring and tracking focus dead on like the Nikon D5 and D500 not even sony A9, although it gets close. So I decided to give it a shot with the Fujifilm X-T3 and the Fujifilm 100-400 zoom. All I can say is WOW! they have made HUGE progress on auto-focusing system. The lens is tack sharp. The sensor noise is impressive. Better then both Nikon mentioned here. I shoot film since 1972 and the X-T3 design is just like my Nikon F-2 which I still have it and shoot with. The mechanical dials and the aperture ring on the X-T3 is just like the "old" cameras. I never understood why the camera makers changed that... So easy and fast to set exposure... Nikon also used to have different prisms to shoot with. Can you imagine the "new" digital cameras with a sports finder on it? why nobody designs a camera like that? anyways... back to the X-T3. Great camera! I tried the 30 FPS (cropped to 1.3 on top of APS) and 20 FPS on APS and it is really impressive. I shot an Osprey catching a fish on a lake and I am impressed about the auto-focusing. Not perfect but par with Canon. Nothing more to say. Impressive camera! Price? ridiculous! nothing out there with that price range with so much to offer! a winner!

I purchased this TC to go with my Sigma 150-600mm Sport. The D810 will auto focus between f/7.1 and f/9, depending on which focal length the lens is set at. I've had it out a couple of time so far, IMHO, image quality is very good to excellent. Auto focus is quick,and performs quite well even in low light situations. Sigma did an excellent job designing and testing every one of these TC's before leaving the factory. Well worth the price.

I'm not going to write a book on this TC. I received the TC-1401 from B&H yesterday, and I had to try it out even though the weather was terrible. What I was most interested in was the auto focus.YES it works perfect ! I read all the speck's and I could not get a real answer if the auto focus works or not. YES it does, and quit well. I put the TC on the Sigma 150-600 S, and it focused right up. OK I did set the D-3'S camera to aperture priority . F/8 as per sigma's instructions and guess what first class and fast auto focus. I'm attaching two images of this set up so you can see what this all looks like once it has been put together. When the weather permits I will be out with this 900mm lens of course on a tripod and or monopod. I am very happy with this new lens set up.

Follows programming well.

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!!!

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!
