i use them often, when i travel for a few days, clear ones carry my morning pills, black ones carry my night time ones. also have one in my car with quarters for parking meters.

i am definitely old!! :)

If you use photoshop, you can also get the shutter actuations.
open raw file>file menu>file info>advanced tab>schema (ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/aux >toggle on and read "aux:ImageNumber

i don't think this works with jpegs files.

i would suggest you definitely consider africa. ebola was in west africa, not even close to south africa or east africa. i would stay away from kenya right now.
i am definitely planning on going back to namibia/botswana. it is really a trip of a lifetime.
i have friends that were there this summer and some are going in october.

if you do decide not to go, i might suggest austrailia. there is so much to see there too. so many photo opps.

wow. how awesome for you.
i went to tanzania, and loved every single second there. not only was i blown away by the wildlife but going into maasai villages was very overwhelming & moving. we were so welcomed there, it was an amazing experience.
best wishes on a trip of a lifetime!!!

i also have the imo straps, very comfortable and come in all different designs.

just saw this video on camera strap reviews..scroll down to the second video.

i use a black rapid strap, but put a ring on the camera where the strap attaches to it and hook the black rapid there. doesn't interfere with the quick release tripod plate.
i have also tried the boss strap, which also attaches to the side of the camera.

i also have the adapter for my minolta lenses. i find it difficult to make any changes eg iso, fstop, when the adapter is on. it isn't recognized by the camera. how do you manage this?
thanks in advance.

check the link above. i don't have high quality lenses for the mirrorless. i am not ready to give up my nikon and just wanted to play with the mirrorless to see the difference. i have the 2 kit lenses and i did get a 50 mm 2.8 sony.

i am using Fotodiox NIK-NEX Nikon Nikkor Lens to Sony Alpha Nex E-mount Camera Lens Mount Adapter. got it on amazon.
it will not allow autofocus, or changes to the camera. so i set up the camera with the sony lens then use the adapter with a nikon lense.

i am a nikon shooter, i did buy the sony a 6000 and i am happy with it. it has some great features, fastest focusing of the mirrorless cameras. i did buy an adapter to use my nikon lenses with it. below is a photo i took with the panorama feature on the USS, Intrepid.

here is a good article on mirrorless cameras

i added new photos of the lens.

i spoke with the rep at photo expo, he was aware of this issue. i was trying to use it on my nikon d700 & d300, didn't work with the bumper.

i had gotten one from photo expo. what was frustrating to me, is you cannot use the lens bumper with a hood...i would rather use the hood than the bumper, so i don't use it at all.
