Necessary Item for the Sunpak 611

Not sure what to say. I've a Sunpak 611 for some 30 years it has never failed me, even not I am shooting digital it is a great off camera flash a worthy rival to the Mecablitz line. I recently broke the sensot that came with the flash and need another, thank you Hugo, this did the trick. This is a critical item for the flash

grabs the lens better

I think this cap grabs the lens better than some of the cheap second and third party caps do.

Very good addition for the Pelican

Fits like a glove, easily configurable. Good addition to the Peiican case. Padding is decent should not be a problem as a carry on. Every lens seems well secured. Not a problem to add extra foam for extra support.

Handy little gadget

I have a number of ai,ais nikon lenses with 52mm front ends this allows be to reverse mount the lens as a quick micro. I use it with the PB-6 bellows as well when I'm out shooting in the woods or desert.

Restored to Life adapts not only the DG-2 magnifier

...but adapts the DR-3 and DR-4 right angle viewers to my Nikon d810. Yes it is plastic which I consider a plus. So far it is the only adaptor out there. I am very happy that it is made of plastic, it it were metal one runs a risk of cross threading the camera's viewfinder. Better that I would cross thread the adaptor than send the camera in for repair. Nikon's DR-5 right angle viewfinder is around 200 US bucks, i.e. dollars, the DR-3 and DR-4 are considerably less costly and as far as I am concerned do as well as the DR-5. The little do-dad that comes with is for tightning the adaptor to the camers, but in my experience finger tight seem to do as well.

Exactly what I was looking for

Thi is the smaller LIeca tripod, I have its larger model, but this is better suited for some of the shooting I do. Rather than strictly a table top tripod I can use it as a body pod. Attach the camera and brace the tripod to my chest, good for slow shutter and long lenses gives me a more stable platform. Often better than a monopod and situations where I cannot set up a full size tripod. The legs are rock solid, I believe I can fit the ball head with a quick change mount. It is small and light (relatively speaking), it fits into a camera bag or tack pack and neatly in a Pelican 1060 case with bubble wrap as does the larger model. This is a useful item for any photographer makes little difference brand of camera as long it has a quarter inch mount. I usually shoot through a view finder this is about the right size to bring the finder close to my eye.

Cap for pentax digital spotmeter

I recently purchased a used Pentax Digital Spotmeter without a lens cap. I think these snap-on caps are better than the slip on cap originally assigned to the meter. They seem very well made and fit the front element of the meter like a glove. Having three in the package is also good value.

Not all that easy to find

Had a heck of a time finding this eyepiese, glad I did. I think there are some second party eyepieces, but from what I've heard and other shooters have told me they don't fit so well.

Excellent source

Really convenient and efficient having this range of information in a single source.
