Tamron zoom model 01A
Image by csaveanu
Nikon D40 with the adaptall 2, manual Tamron 35-80mm f/2.8-3.8 macro (1:2.5) zoom. So far this little zoom performed very well in my different tests. There are some mechanical issues; the zoom rings moves a little too much and the aperture ring is a little too difficult to set and I don’t like the cap. Otherwise, all good, optical performance is excellent. Focusing is smooth and works very well. A description of some tests done with this lens can be found here.

Dave Graveline interviewed Dr. Albert Green from Improv Electronics at the ShowStoppers Press Event at IFA in Berlin. Improv Electronics showed us their latest eWriting tablets, including the Boogie Board Rip. Rip = “Record Image. Preserve.”
Green technology and energy efficient gadgets and toys were a big hit at the Consumer Electronics Show. Everyone is concerned with conserving energy, incorporating “green” aspects to their products and pulling in customers with the latest energy saving products. With green products ranging from solar charging backpacks, home electronics and TVs to a highway-safe electric motorcycle, there was something green for everyone was the Consumer Electronics Show.

A few nice Kodak images I found:
Kodak Enlarging Ektar f4.5 100mm
Image by Sasha Vasko
Very old Kodak Enlarging Ektar f4.5 100mm lens on Novoflex doubletrack bellows.
The lens has M40 thread mount. Had to wrap it with teflon plumbing tape to get it to fit the M42 bellows mount.
The lens is apparently single-coated, producing nicely subdued colors, yet very sharp with very well corrected chromatic aberrations. Bokeh is nicely soft and even. Its hard to say how many blades are in diaphragm – the opening appears to be perfectly circular. A masterpiece.

Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP – Cobalt
- This incredible redesign features a fantastic flip-screen; unopened, the unit fits easily in your pocket
- When it’s opened, gamers are in for a treat — the screen can display up to 32,000 colors, and has a backlit screen for comfortable game viewing
- Redesigned button and D-pad placement make for hours of more comfortable playing
- Powered by a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that provides 18 hours of play with the light off(up to 10 hours with the light on)
- Games are backwards-compatible — your Game Boy Advance games will play just fine on the GBA SP
A completely redesigned version of the popular Game Boy Advance, this system has an illumination feature and a sleek, flip-screen design — making it the most distinctively stylish, compact and portable Game Boy system.Early Adopters Pick: March 2003. As the world’s smallest video-game platform, the Game Boy Advance SP is also the first to use a built-in rechargeable battery.
Many decried the original Game Boy Advance’s reflective LCD screen and its reliance on external light sources. The Game Boy Advance SP’s main feature–optional backlighting–fixes this complaint nicely, but it’s the wealth of other features that makes this system so surprisingly good.
At first look, you might think the SP is a sleek travel alarm clock. When closed, it’s just as tall and deep as the original GBA, but only half as wide. Due to its clamshell design, the screen is always protected from everyday scratches. A small button in the center of the console turns on the backlighting element for use in low-light situations, like in a moving car.
The SP comes with a well-designed power adapter that recharges a built-in battery; its prongs fold in for easier storage. Our informal tests found that it takes about four hours to fully charge (you can even play it while it’s plugged in and charging), and the battery lasts about 11 hours with the backlighting constantly on–your results may vary. Using the backlighting less often will conserve battery power.
 |
| With separately sold cables, you can connect the Game Boy Advance SP to other GBAs for multiplayer gaming (above) or to the Nintendo GameCube (below) to access secret levels, exchange data, or use other special features that vary from game to game. |
 |
The quality of the backlighting is very good. It’s bright and clear when looking directly at it, but degraded from other angles. This is only a problem for friends who are watching the screen from over your shoulder.
But size, power, and affordability do not come without trade offs. There’s no headphone jack here, though Nintendo promises an adapter. The system isn’t very loud at its highest volume, and the sound can be turned down to socially acceptable levels. The L and R shoulder buttons are a fraction of the size they were on the GBA, and thus are harder to hit. Also, the reduced size of the SP is slightly less comfortable for adult hands than the GBA, but perhaps more comfortable for smaller hands. The cartridge port placement on the lower part of the console is fine for GBA games, since they are flush with the console body, but older Game Boy Color carts will stick out in a way that takes some getting used to.
Open it up and the hinge will seek out a preferred, pre-set angle (about 150 degrees), though you can open it a bit wider or narrower for your own comfort. The hinge stands up well to lateral pressure, and over all, the SP seems just as rugged as its predecessor–which has proven to be very rugged, indeed. –Porter B. Hall

Leupold Vendetta Rangefinder for Bow
- Bow-mounted rangefinder with patented True Ballistic Range (TBR) technology
- Automatically calculates incline/decline and distance to your target for increased accuracy
- 1-touch continuous scan mode; integrated sighting laser for syncing your pins
- LED display engineered for visibility in low light; CR2 battery delivers up to 3,000 actuations
- Mounts to virtually any compound bow (left- or right-handed); measures 3.8 x 2.8 x 1.3 inches (W x H x D)
Leupold 68000 Vendetta Archery Range FinderConsider the game changed with the Leupold Vendetta bow-mounted rangefinder, which will revolutionize the way you hunt and dramatically improve your chance of hanging meat on the pole.
Integrated TBR technology makes it easy to accurately shoot prey on an incline. |
The Vendetta–which mounts to virtually any compound bow (left- or right-handed)–is built to Leupold’s uncompromising standards, with a durable polycarbonate body that protects it from the elements, bumps, and drops. The Vendetta also includes Leupold’s True Ballistic Range (TBR) technology. TBR automatically calculates incline/decline and distance to your target, and then uses bow-specific ballistics to deliver the most accurate measurement possible. Thanks to the patented technology, there’s no guesswork involved; you’ll see the equivalent horizontal distance for precise shooting on an incline. Just range and shoot.
To ensure maximum accuracy, the Vendetta offers a one-touch continuous scan mode. Simply hold the trigger pad down and you’ll continuously range an animal as it moves. No need to guess distances or work fro pre-ranged markers. It’s easy to sync your Vendetta with your pins with the integrated sighting laser. Just zero a target with the pin of your choice and then align the laser dot with the same target. Now you’re “zeroed” and ready to range quickly and accurately. And regardless of your mode, the Vendetta provides an instant and precise digital readout of your target range–at full draw–with no excessive movement and less busted game. With the Vendetta, you’ll shoot with stealthy confidence that’s dead on.
Additional features include a durable aluminum mount that easily adjusts left, right, up, and down; a CR2 lithium battery that provides thousands of activations; an LED display specially engineered for excellent visibility under any lighting conditions; and a compact housing that measures just 3 inches tall and weighs less than 10 ounces.

Use barbed fittings with soft tubing in low-pressure applications. They provide a quick and easy connection without the need for installation tools. Selecting a fitting is easy barbed fittings are sized to match the inside diameter (ID) of your tubing. To connect, simply slide the tubing over the barbed end of the fitting. In most cases, a clamp is required for securing the tubing to the fitting. Single-barbed fittings minimize leaks by having a smoother sealing surface than multi-barbed fittings.

I am aware Behringer make some seriously crap products, but if you look at them as a company they do get a lot of things right and this is one of them. Any questions feel free to ask.
