You are so correct!!! We should be willing to pay a higher price if it is USA made. The Chinese GOVT was a project of Richard Nixon, who made 'friends' with them, Bill Clinton started sending our products to China to help them, the Chinese 'Govt' did whatever you could to remove the Chinese people out of huge areas to make room for buildings, bridges, highways so they could not compete but to make their country the huge 'mega country' it is now! They insist areas are in their Chinese country. Where is America going? With Burdin as President and friends with the Chinese ruler we can't be at ease.

We should never try to take over a country even tho' most have at one time or other. The Chinese govt sent what they considered the very low class citizen's to another country and the other country became the Filipino Islands. They are a very wonderful people, very constructive. people, very enlightening people.

The former Chinese government would have been a far better government for they had a more free-thinking mentally. I have had Chinese professionals as neighbors from China and they were exemplary people. They did not support Govt thinking. They told stories of current persecution. Now I wonder if you support their policies because of $$$$? Where is your thinking. You should buy USA products whenever you can. I know Sketcher's are comfortable but is your conscience clear with what you're doing? They are sending more Chinese men to our country (over the border) 200 and more daily! Why do they do it? They have a 'Chinese FBI' on the east coast to learn about our country for survalence purposes. Why? Do you really believe purchasing Chinese products won't hurt anything? Why do so many purchase from China when they persecute Muslims, Christians, Jewish people as if they are NOTHING?!

The Chinese put MELAMINE in food because it registers as protein and around 15 years ago they had 16000 babies on intensive care because of MELAMINE in their daily diet. The Chinese people are wonderful people, but the gornment is corrupt.

Right and I have unlimited funds to spend. Inflation has really hit me hard and being retired and on a fixed income along with the stock market as volatile as it is, I am wondering which government I am at war with

I have never heard of TEMU but am going to check them out. Thanks everybody for the heads up. AliExpress is a good source and I have never had a problem with them. You just can't be in a hurry and if you need instructions you will have to learn Chinese or Youtube

Yup! That's what the progressive side of the democrat party has become, silencing speech, clearly you should not be allowed to hear words that they don't want you to hear.


Kind of like Marxism

I am going to watch this thread also. I am curious as to a cover for a long telephoto lens. Now I am using a plastic bag held to the Altura cover with gaffers tape. THe Altura will cover my 100-400 Canon lens, but it is tight

True ignorance is using politically motivated reasoning to explain anything you don't or can't understand.


Actually you post is an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect with a little cognitive dissonance thrown in

I use Affinity but used both PS and PSE in the past. There are a lot of ways to do this, and best is to go on youtube and do a search for "Remove windshield glare in PSE" You will find a ton of tutorials.

A quick and easy way is to make a selection of the windshield and hood that you want to adjust, then use a levels adjustment layer to darken the glare. You can fool with various opacity levels and blend modes, perhaps HSL adjustment layer and so on. You should be (or get) familiar with layers, adjustment layers, selections and masks for whatever editor you are using. Half the fun of photography is learning how to edit your photo's to your liking. YouTube is a good place to learn specific tasks like this. The PS site also has good stuff of course.

"The norm" means whats normally needed.Was not referring to retail inventory where "one size fits all" is simplest and best for the bottom line.

Theres a whole ultra geeky concept that the geeky Hawgsters have overlooked. CPLs cantain two PL folis but LPLs have only one.

We have some Hawgs who either use $250 Filters or no filter, in pursuit of optical perfection. Such airheadedness SHOULD include using only LPLs to avoid that additional foil.

In terms of imaging, LPLs work on *ALL* cameras. Certain user conveniences in SLRs are hobbled by LPLs, but so what. Image perfection overrules convenience. For Hawgster geeks with EVFs they should dump all their CPLs and switch over to LPLs.

Have I tested IQ of LPLs compared to CPLs ? Acoarst not. This doesnt require scientific proof. This is the pursuit of perfection, whether you can actually see it or not. One foil is obviously more perfect than two !

I do agree with the IQ of some of the replies one gets from this forum
