This is the middle size HDMI adapter. So far in my home I have devices with three different sizes of HDMI connection. This one isn't the large one and it isn't the small one, its the medium size one that is on my Nikon D750. The adapter works well, no problems whatsoever. It seems like it will last a very long time.

My wife doesn't know anything about photography but she knows this lens as my "people" lens. I use it for events and gatherings when I need a wider focal length than my 70-200mm f4 can provide.
The autofocus and vibration reduction work very well. I can't point to any major faults, it just does everything well.

This is the main lens I use on a D750. It makes an amazingly lightweight, do almost anything package. The high ISO capabilities of the D750 with this F4 lens make for an effective combination in less than ideal lighting.

These cards are very fast in my Nikon D750. They're a good bargain, I have several and haven't ever had an issue with any of them.

Take sharp, vibrant photographs and record high-definition video footage up to 1920 x 1080 with this Nikon D750 DSLR camera, which features a 24.3-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor for optimal image capture.

The high ISO capabilities of this camera are amazing. I've taken shots at 3200 and even 6400 ISO that amazed me with how little noise they had. This opens up a lot of possibilities, mainly it allows me to use lighter f4 lenses where lesser performing cameras need the larger, heavier and more expensive f2.8 lenses.
Aside from that major benefit, the tilting screen is very handy when doing macro work. The wi-fi works good but t I honesty use it very rarely. Rather than having wi-fi, I'd rather it had a larger buffer which is something I'd use a lot more.

This monopod is compatible with most heads and DSLR digital cameras and features adjustable leg locks for easy operation. The alloy D-shaped tube design and rubber foot provide stability for reliable use.

Like all Manfrotto products, this one doesn't disappoint. It's easy to adjust and provides a huge amount of stabilization to enable me to get shots I was missing before. Vibration Reduction circuits in lenses are great but there is no substitute for physically reducing vibration in my opinion.

This lens isn't just a bargain lens, it's extremely sharp and has great contrast. The 50mm focal length is very useful on a full frame camera, I use it as a lightweight all-purpose lens.
This lens coupled with something like a D750 and it's great high ISO noise reduction will give you great low light performance.

Listened to the 685's, walked out with the CM1's!

I've always been a fan of B&W speakers since I was a young Broadcast Engineer in the early '90's and listened to a colleague's 801 Series 2 Matrix monitors. Back then I wasn’t in a position to buy a B&W product of my own. Fast forward 20 years, I was excited to see B&W being widely distributed and therefore, very reasonably priced. Looking at the paper specs, I walked in with the purpose of auditioning the B&W 685’s. The 685’s sounded good, that was until the switch was pressed and the CM1’s came on! Listen to the 685’s and the CM1’s side by side and you’ll hear that the 685’s sound muddy in comparison. The CM1’s drivers provide much better clarity and imaging in the mid-range on up.
The 685’s bass was more extended, albeit a bit exaggerated and on the boomy side for my tastes. The CM1’s bass was tighter and more controlled but didn’t extend quite as low; it was surprisingly close because the CM1’s cabinet has a much smaller volume. I’d imagine the cone excursion of the CM1 driver is greater to make up for the lack of cabinet volume. Because I use a 15” Velodyne sub with my bookshelf speakers, the bass response wasn’t a major factor anyway, whereas mid-range and tweeter performance were.
The other speaker I listened to was the PSB Synchrony One B. I couldn’t tell much difference at all between the CM1 and the Synchrony One’s……then I saw that the Synchrony One’s were twice the price of the CM1’s, at that point I really couldn’t tell any difference! For my aging ears, the B&W’s are probably the highest end speaker I can appreciate. Paying for any more clarity, lower distortion or better imaging would be wasted on my abused ears. For me, the CM1’s were the best option and I felt the extra money spent over the 685’s was money well spent.
What's great about it: Build quality, mid-range and tweeter's are as good as I can appreciate
What's not so great: That I don't have them in every room of my house!

Will this lens take good macro style shots?
Will it focus up close for detailed pictures of flowers, etc?
With a minimum focus distance of 1.48 ft it will let you get close to your subject(s). The magnification ratio is only 0.15X though, which means you're not going to reproduce the image anywhere near Macro levels which are considered to be 1:1 or 1.0X. This lens produces images about 1/6th the size of macro.
