Thanks, Tareq! I've got a few shots posted on my photo site (check my new sig at the bottom), and since I'm noticing that there aren't many Think Tank Photo reviews here I may post some reviews of my own. Cheers!

Nice collection, even better reviews! And I'm not even going to try and duplicate Scunner's fantastic review on the rotation360.

Maybe I'll do the more "obscure" ones like the Steroid Speed Belt and the UD40, who knows?

Canon daily user kit:

- Canon Digital SLRs:
EOS 5D Mark II w/BG-E6, EG-D Focus Screen
EOS 7D w/BG-E7, Arca-Swiss QR plate (Kirk)
EOS 7D w/BG-E7, A-S QR plate (Kirk)
EOS 50D w/BG-E2N, A-S QR plate, EF-D Focus Screen, WFT-E3A
EOS 50D w/BG-E2N, A-S QR plate, EF-D Focus Screen, WFT-E3A
EOS 50D w/BG-E2N, A-S QR plate, EF-D Focus Screen
EOS 30D w/BG-E2, E1 hand strap, A-S QR plate
EOS 30D w/BG-E2, E1, A-S QR plate
EOS 10D w/BG-ED3, E1, A-S QR plate
Six BP511/BP511A per camera: 10/30/50D, five chargers.
Four LP-E6 per camera: 5D Mk II & 7Ds, four chargers.
Note: I really like pairing up 1.6X and FF cameras. The 7D is a very good matchup with the 5D MkII - thanks to shared battery tech, same memory used, similar control layout, features, etc. I struggled with learning the AF system on 7D, but am now getting consistent results, so I'll likely be selling off the 10D, 30D, 50D and their specific accessories soon. I really don't need nine DSLRs!

- Canon Film SLRs:
EOS-3 w/PB-E2, E1, grid screen, A-S style QR plate
EOS-3 w/PB-E2, E1, grid screen, A-S style QR plate
(have also used and/or owned: Elan 7E aka EOS 33 elsewhere in the world, A2E, 1VHS & others)

- Prime lenses:
EF 20/2.8
EF 28/1.8
EF 50/1.4
EF 85/1.8
EF 135/2L
EF 300/4L IS, A-S style QR plate
EF 300/2.8L IS, camo LensCoat, A-S style QR plate
EF 500/4L IS, camo LensCoat, A-S style QR plate

Possible future Primes:
- EF 14/2.8L II (maybe, the jury is still out if I even need so wide a lens)
- EF 24/1.4L (actually I wish Canon made a 24/2 USM. I'd prefer that. I might go with the EF 24/2.8 instead, just wish it were USM. Update: Okay, now there's an EF 24/2.8 with USM! However, for some reason they also added IS, which doubles the price, dammit!)
- EF35/1.4L (actually I'd prefer a 35/1.8 or 35/2 *USM*, but Canon doesn't offer either. Sigma 35/1.4 looks like a good alternative. Update: Now there's a 35/2 coming with USM... but also IS, which adds to the cost and I don't need.)
- EF 200/2L I.S. (Oh yeah! I'll beg borrow or steal for this one eventually!)
- EF 800/5.6L I.S. (Yeah, right! Not likely until the Lotto comes thru for me. Just dreamin')

- Specialty Lenses (Macro, Tilt-Shift):
Tamron 90/2.5 SP Macro (manual focus & aperture, Adaptall-2 EF mount, chipped for focus confirm)
EF 100/2.8 Macro, tripod mounting ring, A-S style QR plate
EF 180/3.5L Macro, A-S style QR plate
EF 24/3.5L TS-E (first version)
EF 45/2.8 TS-E

possible future specialty lenses:
- EF 17/4 TS-E Tilt Shift (oh yeaaaahhh! gotta get it! looking for an excuse or a job that will require it so I can build it into the price.)
- EF 90/2.8 TS-E (eventually... when I have a job that needs it, I'll get it)
- MP-E 65mm macro lens... ultra high magnification.

- Zoom lenses:
EF-S 10-22mm (just purchased used, wanted to compare w/the Toki)
Tokina 12-24/4 (which works to 18mm on full frame, by the way).
EF 24-70/2.8L
EF 28-135/3.5-5.6 IS (backup for the 24-70)
EF 28-135/3.5-5.6 IS (yes, two of them, these are great loaners, too)
EF 70-200/2.8L IS (first version) w/A-S style QR plate
EF 70-200/4 IS w/tripod mounting ring
still waiting on Sigma 120-400mm F/4.5-5.6 APO HSM DG OS
Sigma 28-70 (only usable on the EOS-3 and 10D, it's older AF chip causes errors w/later DSLRs, but it cost me all of $8 used)

Note: I'm mostly a prime lens shooter, but there are times when a zoom is essential. Considering getting a Sigma 70-200/2.8 OS when it comes out, to have a backup for the Canon. The 120-400 Siggy is interesting, too.... altho I'm concerned about frequency of repair reports, though. I'm not a fan of push/pull zooms so have largely ruled out the Canon 100-400. No plans to upgrade to the EF 70-200/2.8 IS Mark II. Might buy a second copy of the first version instead... Or an f4 IS to have a smaller lens available.

Daily user point 'n' shoot:

- P&S Cameras:

Canon PowerShot G5 - Sweet little camera and easy for a Canon shooter to learn to use. Only 5MP, but shoots RAWs (some later G-series don't!). ISO is somewhat limited (400 max, and that's not all that "clean"). Purchased for $40. Strap & cap but no battery. No worries, I have plenty of BP511s. Plenty of 1GB and 2GB CF cards, too. I like that this camera uses CF memory! Also got the matching Canon 1.75X (TC-DC58N) tele conversion lens for another $6. It cost me about $12 that to get the adapter tube (LA-DC58B) to be able to fit the conversion lens. More recently I've added bought the Canon wide conversion lens, too (WC-DC58N, approx. 0.7X) for about $35. It's kind of silly... The conversion lenses are about as big and heavy as the camera itself! And the viewfinder is no longer usable, once the conversion lens is installed. Might get a 220EX or similar flash to use with it, too. The built in flash is pretty wimpy and drains the batteries pretty fast.

Need to find a small case to keep it all in... Something easy to take out and use.

Canon PowerShot A510- all of 3.2MP! 4X zoom. It was used, a little beat up... and all of $26. I figured what the heck! Besides, Maria Sharapova has a really cute dog with a French accent and she's far hotter than Ashton Kutcher can ever hope to be. He's funnier, though.

No wonder people hold these things at arm's length and use the LCD screen to frame 'n' focus! The VF has horrific parallax error at close-up and macro focus distances.

Transcend 2GB SD memory (three). $24 new. Let's see now.... I think I can shoot about 6000 images with the 3.2MP camera and these three tiny cards (hope I don't lose 'em), before having to download. Locally, in a pack of three these were cheaper than 1GB and 512MB cards that were only available singly, and actually getting pretty hard to find at all.

Duracell NIMH Rechargeable Batteries (six) and Charger - After seeing how fast some of these little cameras eat pairs of fresh alkaline AAs, I quickly ran out to get some rechargeables! $20 new. If they weren't so damned expensive ($20 for six, w/charger, really is a good deal), and the chargers such a pain (cheesy plastic, four batts at a time, 5-6 hours), I'd probably switch to using them for all my flashes, etc., too! Maybe I'll add some four at a time, but I probably need 40 or more for my 'real' shooting kit! Large packs of alkaline AAs are easier, and pretty cheap.... for now.

- Case:
LowePro REVO 40 Compact Camera Case, Black w/Black Suede Trim - $2 used. Bought this hoping to use it with my incidence meter, but that won't fit. However, the A510, spare batteries and thumbnail size SD memory cards all fit into the itty bitty case just fine! It slip-locks onto my belt to carry the entire 'system' easily, or it'll fit nicely in my car's glove box or center console... no prob!

Under $75 total... For the entire A510 frickin' setup.

Konica (Konishiroku, Konishi, Rokuoh-Sha & Sakura):
I've used Konica SLRs since the 1970s. In fact I still have the first one I bought used - a T3 classic - and it still works perfectly (it's had one CLA done, in the 1990s). Over the years I've collected nearly all 35mm film models made by Konica/Konishiroku from before WWII up to about 1991, as well as most lenses and accessories. If you are seeking info about Konica, please get in touch. If I don't know the answer to your questions, there's a highly active user group/discussion forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/konicaslr/, where I'm one of the five moderators and approx. 1000 members worldwide.

Konica SLRs, nearly all 1960-1987:
F, FS, FP, FM, Auto-Reflex, Auto-Relfex P, T, FTA, A, T'2', FTA'2', A'2', A3, A1000, T3, T3'N', TC, T4, FS-1, FC-1, FP-1, FT-1 and TC-X. Also Wards variants: SLR700 in chrome and black. Seeking FS-W, FS in black, Autoreflex W, and FT-1 Pro Half. Besides TTL, seeking other Revue variants.

- Primary user SLRs: four FT-1 & four T4 w/Winders AR

Konica Hexanon lenses, most primes 21mm to 400mm. A few Hexanon zoom lenses. Some older zoom lenses were pretty darned good... Many others were not. Hexanon 80-200/3.5 is pretty good. 35-100/2.8 Varifocal is decent, too. Some Hexar lenses (in K/AR mount, these were budget lenses)

Third party lenses for Konica K/AR mount:

- Tamron SP Lenses - I've used a number of these interchangeable Adaptall and Adaptall-2 mount lenses over the years and they can be quite good: 24mm f2.5, 90mm f2.5 macro, 80-200/2.8 zoom, 180/2.5, 300/2.8, 400/4, and mirror lenses 350/5.6 and 500/8. The beauty of these lenses is their interchangeable Adaptall2 mount... Which are widely available to fit many different SLRs, ranging from vintage to modern. So it's easy to swap a lens from one camera system to another, as needed.

- Tokina ATX Lenses - Some of these lenses were quite good too.

Konica System flashes - most, plus a few Sunpak & Vivitar flashes.

Konica Macro system - most items: lenses, bellows, extensions, helicoid, auto rings, dual releases, etc.

Konica RF & VF 35mm cameras - most models 1930s thru early 1990s:
Rubicon (x-ray, ~1938), Konica '1' MIOJ (several), Konica II, IIB, IIB-m, IIA, III, IIIA, IIIM, Konilette 35, S, SII, L, EE-Matic, Auto S, Eye (half frame), Auto S2, EE-Matic S 'New', EE-Matic 260 (126 film), EE-Matic Deluxe, Auto SE, Auto S1.6, EE-Matic Deluxe 2, EE-Matic Deluxe F, Auto S261 (126 film), C35, Electron, C35 Automatic, C35 V, Auto S3, C35 FD, C35 EF, C35 AF, C35 EF 'New', C35 EFP, C35 EF3, C35 AF2, Pop, C35 EFJ, C35 MF, AF3, MG, MG-D, EFP2, MR70, AA-35, MT9, EFP3, MR70 LX, Genba Kantoku, MS-40 (military special), Z-Up 80, Tomato, Kanpai, Z-Up 28W, MT-100, Off Road 28WB Wide, Revio CL (APS). Most Wards variants.

Seeking Aiborg, other Off Road models, Recorder, Konica J and Konilette or Konilett (the early clamshell models, not the later Konilette 35)

Konica RF & VF Camera Accessories - Copy/macro stand and macro lens for Konica '1', various Auto-ups, Konicameter, Konicameter LV, Cherry Flash Gun, Koniflash, Koniflash III, Konilette Flash, Koniflash IIIM, X-14 Flash, X20 Flash, X20N Flash, Flash Cube Holder (chrome and black)

FOR SALE: KONICA 'OFF ROAD' CAMERAS I have available eight or nine Genba Kantoku and MS-40. These are the Japanese and military versions of the original Off Road model. The cameras are all ex-British Army. Condition is most certainly used, some rougher than others, but I am only selling the ones that test as working. I provide a copy of an instruction book with each one sold. Very reasonable pricing. Trades for other Off Road models considered. Lens is 35mm wide angle, f3.5 I think . It's sharp with good color rendition. Please inquire.

The Off Road/Genba Kantoku is a specially gasketed and sealed camera that can be used safely on the beach, in mud, splashing about in the surf or your hot tub at home, etc. While not a true underwater camera, it's got armor glass over the lens and can be rinsed off under a faucet, when it gets dirty. It's a 35mm-film camera with a wide angle lens and essentially program-only, AF-only function. Dead simple to use.... Just a few buttons. Built in flash. Takes great pics and will survive places most other cameras won't! Search the Internet for additional info on the 'cult classic' Konica Off Road.

Konishi/Konishiroku/Sakura Box, Folder, Medium & Large Format - numerous models approx. 1902 thru 1950s:
Idea, Sakura Box, Ocha, Pearl No. 2 (Showa 8 ), Pearlette (many variants, 1927-49), Neat Lily, Lily, Royal No. 2 (Konishi/Rokuoh-Sha wooden field camera, half plate), Baby Pearl, Semi Pearl, Pearl '1', Pearl '1' RS, Snappy,
Seeking: Cherry Hand Camera, Minimum Idea, Tropical Lily and other unusual Konishi, Cherry and Rokuoh-Sha models. Eventually want to add Koniflex, Koni Omega and Koni Omegaflex cameras and lenses.

Konica/Konishiroku Other Format Cameras, Lenses, Accessories & Cine/Video:
Snappy (miniature/17mm film) seeking 40mm Cherry/Optor 40mm (?) telephoto lens for this.

One might ask, why have a 'fume room' at all? Well, at the going prices for these things used, I'm just not willing to sell it. It's all in storage now. But if time and space allow and I ever start shooting lots of B&W again, i know I'll want to make prints with this, then digitize them with a good flatbed scanner. Ever scan B&W negs? Not good, even with the best film scanners! C41 B&W film scans are okay, but I'd miss some of the rich old silver based emulsions, not to mention working them with the Zone System.
