Rebel Rear View Mirror Charm

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.

Works like a charm, easy to use and I can't wait to go everywhere in the ocean with my new dicapac and my Canon Rebel SL1.

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.

I used this remote switch for macro on my Rebel T1 and I love it. It is so easy to use right out of the box and works like a charm. I was pleasantly surprised at how small the unit is. Not at all awkward. The price is right on this remote. Buy it, you won't be sorry. Thanks B&H for the recommendation.

From right out of the box, this unit plugged directly into my Canon Rebel X3i and worked like a charm. Takes a 9V battery, which you can rob from any smoke detector in an emergency :)

This rear cam is small enough to not interfere with your view out your back window. The picture quality is great!!!

Got this at the recommendation of a B&H employee to clean a smudge off the rear element of one of my lenses. Worked like a charm; it was easy and quick to use, and the smudge was totally gone after a few seconds.

I love this camera ,I was using the Rebel xti previously so it was very easy to use it right out of box. I really like the auto iso feature. Using it mostly for nature photography. Very happy with it . I use mostly the 75-300 mm lens and would love to be able to afford a really good lens but the 75-300 it comes with in the package is ok for what I do. The other thing that I love about this camera is that it is still a true thru the lens view you get you look thru the view finder and not a time lagged digital image.

For years I have used a Canon Rebel XT for astrophotography, I finally decided it was time to modernize, and I'm very happy I did. Best points for me: -The tilt-able view screen and Live View mode is a real back-saver: no more contortions to see through the view finder -Long exposure noise reduction does dark frame capture and subtraction -Controls are similar enough in layout that by the end of the first night I was not fumbling to find things in the dark -The only downside is the size of the images means processing takes longer :-) I've uploaded an image that combines the best 8 (of 16) 90s exposures of M51 the Whirlpool Galaxy. ISO 1600. Noise reduction on. cropped (not resized) to 1920x1080 and converted to png for use as wallpaper.
