Use this 67mm circular polarizer to cut down on annoying reflections and improve the color and contrast of your images.

Very unsatisfied

The cons say it all. The knurling on the ring is very VERY thin. I had great difficulting getting it on my lens tightly, and then once I did it would unscrew when turning the polarizer because the glass rotates is like it's full of sand. There is no index mark to tell you the orientation of the polarization. Then when I tried to remove it I could not...again, the knurling is too small to get a good grip. For a while I thought I would have to break the filter and use a pliers to get it off. After several minutes it did finally come off but not without injering the nail on my index finger from squeezing and turning so #@$% hard.
What's great about it: None that I was able to identify
What's not so great: Very thin knurled ring, clunky rotation, no index mark
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

With a massive 4GB of storage space, this memory card means business. The included adapter allows you to use this card in most USB interfaces for quick and simple connection.

Very Fast!

It's a flash card so there really isn't much to say. I only really wanted to pont out that despite the "slower" speed advertized by this card, it works at that speed for both read AND write. Most generic cards selling for substanally less that are advertized as 133x or 150x (20MBps and 22.2 MBps) are only this speed for reading. For writing they may or may not be this fast...most simply don't give a write speed, and those that do typically say "class 6", which is 6MBps.
Note this card is actually faster than class 6 at writes. So if write speeds are important, this (or the Extreme 3) is the way to go. As a point of reference, in my Pentax K10D, the 16MB raw file is completely written to the card before I get my eye away from the viewfinder.
Lastly, the SDHC is apperently incompatable with plain SD. My older SD reader will not recognize this card. No big deal, since this package comes with a USB adapter that works well.
What's great about it: Speedy writes
What's not so great: Incompatable with my SD reader
I would recommend this to a friend!
