If the camera is not covered by the Canon USA warranty, then I don't think it matters that much. I believe canon will service USA and gray market items the same when you are paying for the repairs.

Great idea but this won't work with Nikon cameras. I tried my D7100 with a 50mm AIS lens. The camera does not give me the auto-focus fine tuning option with this lens.

Hard to tell which is better since "The owner has disabled downloading of their photos" from Flickr website.

It would be easier if you would just post the full size images to UHH for downloading.

Does the A900 have a view finder?

I don't get any emails. I just go to the web site.

I had the same problem with a Dell laptop after I updated to PS2018 3 months ago, and I had to disable the GPU. Windows and all my drivers are at the latest versions, so I reached a dead end.

But by now I don't care. Losing the GPU didn't seem to make any difference. LR and PS run just as fast (or slow) as they always have.

You should find a friend with a Windows PC and make sure the CDs are readable. CDs can go bad after a few years. Then look at buying an inexpensive used PC or Windows laptop. Probably anything with Windows XP or later would work.

No viewfinder per DP Review.

I use the Rokinon version of this 8mm fisheye on a Nikon APS camera. The image covers the sensor completely.

[quote= . . .with Adobe, boy does their tech support suck, . . . So I tried to update PS to 2018, only to find, it won't happen. After talking with Adobe (on hold for 1 hour and 21 minutes) She informed me that the current version will not work with Windows 7 Pro/64bit.

That's nonsense. Half of Adobe's customers still run Windows7. The problem is Adobe tech support doesn't know how to help so they want to blame THEIR problem on the OS. I have Windows 7 Pro/64bits and I run the current version of Photoshop CC 2018 on a Dell laptop. No problems.

However, I had to fix a problem with my graphics display adapters when I first upgraded. PS2018 appeared to start up okay, but then would crash when it tried to load an image. Using Google, I determined that the problem was probably related to an incompatible display adapter being used by PS2018. This computer has two display adapters. I suspected that PS worked with one of them but not the other, and that PS2018 was defaulting to the "bad" adapter. Someplace in Windows (sorry I don't remember the details) I found a configuration screen which let me specify the graphics display adapter for various applications. I set PS so it would NOT use the "high performance" adapter and it has worked fine since then.

I've bought from eBay sellers in Japan, Hong Kong, Ukraine, Russia - all with no problems. The transaction is no different from a domestic seller. Shipping may take a little longer, but I have always been given a tracking number which starts in the country of origin and then switches to a USPS tracking number after the item clears customs. I once had a lens from Japan get hung up in LA customs for two weeks. But I also had a new Nikon lens from Hong Kong arrive in just 36 hrs. Note that there is no import duty unless you're spending thousands of dollars.

Maybe a magnetic filter holder? Something like this:

I agree. My LF-1 is always in my pocket when I'm out hiking.

My A6000 creates raw files in "ARW" format but your screen shot shows DNG in LR. How are you getting the DNG file? Could that conversion be adding an initial profile for LR to use?
