Transcend RDF5 USB 3.0 SD/SDHC/SDXC/microSDHC/UHS-1/UHS-3 Memory Card Reader

Oct 30, 2015

A Fast Convenient Card Reader

This little Transcend is a very nice value if you need an SD, SDXC or Micro-Card reader. My PC can't read the new SDXC high-speed cards by itself and since I have just gotten a device that uses them, I needed an interface. This USB-pluggable little unit works like a charm: plug in, PC identifies it, and you insert your card of choice in the reader. That's it. Regular SD or SDXC show up right away. If you are ahead of the curve enough to have USB 3.0, this unit is ready for it; of course it is also backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0. Use this at home or stick one in your bag and there you go. A neat, simple, cheap solution that works. Recommended. C. Harding.

Examining the Mind of Evil

Richard Rhodes' powerful examination of the SS "Einsatzgruppen" (basically the clean-up squads) that followed the German army on its conquest into Eastern Europe is not for the faint of heart, but it is a valuable, well-written book on the nature of evil. Rhodes gets into the Nazi philosophy that justifies the extermination of the 'lower classes' that live on what is supposed to be German land. More interestingly, however, he also describes the effect of the mass killings on the very people who commit them: the SS units who, theoretically, are so indoctrinated that they should feel nothing when they eliminate entire villages in a couple of days. This is where the book stands out: Rhodes isn't afraid to say that these elite murder squads are, in fact, made up of human beings. Human beings who, in some cases, crack up completely under the endless slaughter they are committing in the name of the Fatherland. This brings up one of the real peculiarities in the Nazi philosophy: we must kill without remorse to clear the land, but we must never enjoy doing it. Those who revealed a natural sadism and bloodlust were generally removed from front duty, whereas the more "well-balanced" SS soldiers who just 'did their duty' (and got smashed in the canteen at night to drive away the memories) were seen as the 'disciplined' soldiers who were doing a difficult job. Rhodes' book is very graphic, as well it should be. It drives home the insanity of the Nazi expansion ideas with vivid on-the-ground descriptions of the horrific acts that took place in the name of those ideas. For anyone even casually interested in WWII, and for those wishing more insight into both the Nazi outlook and the horrors it unleashed, this book is absolutely required reading. It's a strong, well-written examination, both of what people will do as long as the reason is good enough, and of how, in the darkest hour, humanity can unexpectedly get in the way of even the most fanatical violence.

Manfrotto 088LBP Adapter 1/4-Inch- 20 to 3/8-Inch with flange

Jul 07, 2020

Does its intended job well.

We bought the Manfrotto adapter to put on our big Mamiya 6-by-7 camera since we are using the camera hanging pointing down 90 degrees on a copy stand. The Mamiya has the larger thread size by default, so to use it on most gear, you need to adapt down. The 088LPB takes the place of the little "in-thread" adapter in the socket of the Mamiya, which I always felt was liable to jam in the threads under the weight. Given the Manfrotto's flat disc, it distributes the weight of the mount nicely and fits perfectly on the Mamiya. The total load we use it for is just under nine pounds (Mamiya and zoom lens) and we have not seen any problems at all. A good little accessory at a fair price.
