Weather Underground 1983

I'm so happy with this product. Over the years, since my first SONY purchase in 1983, every product I've purchased from SONY has lived up to their reputation as the premiere provider of A/V equipment. Love this receiver!

I bought a 3035 back in 1983 and it lasted me until this year when i couldn't replace a part that had broke. This is nearly a direct replacement with a few added goodies. It's an absolute workhorse in the studio (along with a studio stand) and can hold the most gear such as a toyo 4x5 with a phase one back and assesories. It's height range is a huge plus. This thing is worth every penny- an i'm quite confident i won't have to replace it any time in the next 20 years!

I hadn't shot FP4 since 1983, but thought I'd give it another try. As an inveterate Plus-X shooter, I figured that FP4 might give me similar tonality. I was right. It's very close, and is a more than acceptable substitute. Thus far, I've developed it in X-Tol (EI 125 1:1 for ten minutes at 68F) and in HC110 Dil B. Both worked well, but I'm leaning toward the X-Tol 1:1 because of the slight increase in contrast. Yes, I like this film very much. I like having edge numbers on a bulk roll - some don't have them (Fomapan, among others). Very smooth grain and very acceptable contrast with normal development. I can't wait to see what this looks like pulled!

Great vest. I'm using it in an underground coal mine. It's like having an extra pair of hands. It distributes weight evenly. I use it for batteries, flashes, all sorts of accessories. There are no pockets for big lenses, but that's O.K. It would make the vest too heavy and cumbersome. It's pretty good at repelling lime and coal dust and water and is not likely to tear easily. Pockets are lined with soft material, which is easy on lenses. These vests are a little pricey, but worth it. They're professional gear and are made for rugged use.

Solid takes abuse perfect for poking the gopro into strange places underwater and underground.

So far so good! Using as a backup power supply for an underground dog fence and so far is working great.

We mostly use it to protect our lens for our camera at work, being as we drag the camera through steam tunnels, in mud trenches, inside underground vaults, and through all sorts of other environments. The filter screws on firmly to the end of the lens and protects the lens from scratches, dirt, dust, etc. without distorting any of the pictures.

I use 50+ of these routinely for delicate electronic sensors that are buried underground in very wet Florida environments for over 6 months at a time. I love the color-changing pattern on the exterior of the pack that let's me now when it's due for replacement or refreshing in a microwave. I used to use the metal type that needed to be baked for 3 hours, but those too long to replenish and were small in comparison.

This arm is exactly what I needed. I made an oversized copy stand to photograph old city maps and drawings of the underground utilities. I'm using the arm on top of a ProMaster Super Heavy Duty SLR II Tripod. Had to put a couple of weights on the tripod just to make sure it wouldn't tip over with the arm fully extended.

We have had 2 electrical storms that have fried our switches connected to underground network wiring. I have installed these at both ends of outdoor run and have not had any surges since. Seem like they work as advertised.
