[quote=tschmath]I'm looking to buy a 2x converter for my Sony A55. My research showed prices ranging from $10 to $ 190 dollars. What should I be looking for, and what would be a reasonable price?/quote]
For picture quality and long term usage, save the money you would spend on buying a converter. Don't buy a converter. Buy a longer lens for a better long term investment and a much, much better picture quality.

Be careful of your times for planing to view the Lunar Eclipse.
The first of four Lunar Eclipse in 2014 starts around 1:00 AM on the 15th of April.
That means starting after midnight on the 14th of April.

I am new to the Nikon 3200 SLR. In the past I only used a "Point and Shoot". I took a course on photography but I only had a "Point and Shoot" so I only learned a little. Any info or help with the SLR would be great.Thanks.
By SLR you mean DSLR? There is a difference!
By Nikon 3200 you mean Nikon D3200?
Correct nomenclature is imperative to get good responses.
Since you are going from using a P&S (point & shoot), a photographer's least control over a photo, to using a DSLR, a photographer's greater in camera's control over a photo,
recommend;
1. you purchase and read "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson as a great start
2. and you thoroughly familiarize yourself with your camera's manual and camera's controls.
Take many, many pictures, review them, learn more and have fun.

Money order, or check (must clear first before shipping), PayPal has become too risky for sellers, so I will not use it.
So how is the buyer protected? Do you take credit cards?

To my eyeballs, Zivity doesn't make sense for the photographer. I'd love to hear other opinions.
I think you've answered your own questions. Besides would you recommend them? If not then don't use them.

If your main interest is flowers or other static objects you can use a wide range of focal lengths, and at 1:1, your working distance is not that big of a concern. If by chance you enjoy chasing bugs and other small critters I suggest getting the longest focal length you can afford, simply because the longer the focal length the farther away from your subject you can be. The 105 f/2.8 suggested above is hard to beat, especially for the price.

...this was the only lens that I kept. I just couldn't bear to part with it...
Which lens were you referring too?
Several previous posting eluded to the possibility that warranties are not transferable????
If transferable, original receipt maybe required??
Check with Tamron.

For understanding f/4 and a whole lot more, purchase and read "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson.
I like them all. Each gives a unique perspective. You've also given me some ideas. Thanks for sharing.
His equipment is also good for other types of shoots besides weddings. I would add a backup flash. Thanks for sharing.

I have a JJC remote for my Nikon D3200 and it works very well
Oh so because your remote works well on your d3200 means it will work well on the Fuji HS50???
You mean the Fuji HS50 is the same as the d3200?
Thanks MT Shooter for the picture of your OPTech strap three camera carry setup.
