    Review by 'postcardcv' on item 'Black Widow Pro'

    I recently had the opportunity to use the new Jobu Black Widow Pro Gimbal for a couple of weeks, here's my thoughts on it: Out of the box it looks very impressive and is suprisingly light weight, it was very easy to attach onto my Gitzo and get out using it. I'm currently using the BWG-L which...

    Review by 'postcardcv' on item 'EF 70-200 f4 L'

    I was surprised to read the previous reviews as I know a number of people who use this lens and have not heard of any other problems. I was using the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 but wanted a lighter option so switched to the Canon f4 non-IS version about six months ago. I'm extremely impressed with it...

    I got my 40D a couple of weeks ago and am very impressed with it. The camera feels solid and well made, and fits very well in the hand. The menus and controls are well laid out and simple to use. The viewfinder is nice and bright (though not up to 5D/1D standards), and the rear LCD is easy to...

    Review by 'postcardcv' on item '100-300mm F4 EX HSM APO'

    I got this lens about a year ago to use along side my 500mm, as I wanted a good lens with a good close focus. The lens feels great in the hand, zoom ring is easy to use while panning as is the large focus ring. The AF is fast and true, I often use this lens for shooting birds in flight and...

    Review by 'postcardcv' on item '500mm f4.5 APO EX'

    I bought this lens about 18 months ago as an upgrade from the Sigma 170-500 and love it. The first thing that struck me when I got it was just how sharp the images were, even when shooting wide open. At f4.5 you can count the feathers, stopped down to f6.3-f8 and it\'s even more impressive...
