Equipped with a versatile EF-S mount, this Canon 35mm macro lens works with a variety of Canon APS-C-format DSLR bodies.

AMAZING, Best Macro Lens I’ve ever used
on June 13, 2017
Posted by: JaBo
from Ky
This lens is amazing, the clarity and 1 to 1 replication of subject at Macro is just unbelievable. You can get the lens right up to the subject (about 2 inches by my tests).
It’s a great lens for general shooting as well, and the added macro light is such a great feature to have.
The price tag for this lens seems way too low for the amount of lens you get.

Canon EF-S 18-135mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens: Get a versatile lens with the Canon 18-135mm IS lens. Smooth, silent autofocus combines with powerful image stabilization that gives you up to 4 stops of shake correction to deliver sharp images quickly. At 18mm, you get wide-angle images, but at 135mm, this Canon 18-135mm IS lens gets you even closer to the action.

Amazing Lens, such an improvement from non- "L"s

Focuses ridiculously fast, great bokah, great sharpness and clarity, sets standard for "kit" lenses, although it's not really a kit lens.

Long term review...it's got issues
on July 19, 2016
Posted by: JaBo
from Ky
Initially, I had a 5 star review up on this, as I was so impressed with immediately after buying it. Well that impression quickly fled as the flaws on this controller rose and have been harassing me since.
The flaws are primarily design based, and could have easily been corrected if Microsoft had conducted a thorough beta test and included human systems integration.
Main issue is that the controller needs a physical "off on" switch, so you can set the controller down with out backing out of games or interrupting videos. Do not set this down on a couch, as you will definitely hit the paddles. Do not pay it in the case either, this will also activate the paddles. Handing over controller to someone else? Paddles activated. Picking up controller from table? Paddles activated. I use paddles for FPS, which means one of the paddles is a "b" button. The amount of times I accidently backout of games is beyond frustrating!
To mitigate this issue, you have to program one of the two slots to be an "off" or unprogrammed paddles. This is the only solution. But this solution takes 50% of your programmed slots away, so that sucks.
I've also had the controller lose connection randomly display "please reconnect controller" for no reason, even with fresh batteries. Always happens at inconvenient times, like kill streaks builds.
Great concept, I commend MS for making the step to help more serious gamers, but they have a lot of work ahead of them. Hopefully the next generation will include actual gamer beta time.

Skip the 4k monitors, this monitor is the best ATM

BLUF: This is the best monitor on the market at the moment, even over there 4k monitors. The curved screen does in fact help, and the screen feels bigger than one thats just straight. I was skeptical that this monitor would be worth it, I had been using a 24 inch 1080p LCD HDTV that I had sitting around. The switch was just amazing. Don't hesitate, buy this monitor!

Zubie sells your driving info to insurance co's
on February 4, 2016
Posted by: JaBo
from Ky
Zubie seems innocuous enough, but it's actually big brother in trojan horse!
Read their privacy information, they sell your driving data (including whether you speed or not) to insurance companies. You are basically allowing a company monitor your driving for the benefit of the insurance companies. All the while you pay them the fee to do it. At least Geico, All state, et al... take a % off your insurance bill and the device is free.
Also, their tracking information is 100% allowed to be taken by police/ law enforcement if you were involved in a car accident or supposedly in a crime.
Serious 4,5,6th amendment issues.

OK car device
By CUCS
IT'S MISLEADING ON WHAT THIS DEVICE DOES , IT'S JUST AN OVERPAID DEVICE TO SEE HOW YOU ARE DRIVING, IT IS NOT A TRUE TRACKING DEVICE IN THE SENSE THAT YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE CAR WITH YOUR PHONE TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON, I WOULD NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN

This device tracks on it's own. It works off it's very own cell phone chip. It works perfectly.

There are better choices out there

Sketchy privacy issues and an annual fee make this a poor choice.

what do i need to get picture n picture.

i have a home theatre system and cable.can you tell what equipment i
need to get my picture n picture to
work?.
you will need a display that supports picture in picture. Makesure your TV supports it.

Here is what I do,

I take the coax cable and attach it to a splitter. one end is ran straight to the tv. The other end is hooked up th comcast cables box; which is then hooked up by HDMI to the TV.

With that basic PiP you would have two different cable TV inputs.

The more inputs you put into your tv the more possibilities you have.
