I have a discount code for all Topaz products.
pm me and I can send it to you.
I have made many books using different companies. It is a bit frustrating as each company has different software to make the books. I design the page to the correct size in photoshop, then drop the entire page into the book software. I find this easier to do as I have much more control over the images I use, sizing and using a stroke around each image. I can also add the text.
I have been using Adoramapix for the past several books. I also use them for printing. If you pm me your address I will send you a friend request. We both gain some credits!
Happy Birthday. I have the 6500 and the A7111. At a recent photo conference, I was told by Sony that they will be coming out with 2 firmware updates in the next 6 months. They will improve the eye focus and will include eye focus on animals not just people. That got me excited, since I will be going to Africa with my 2 Sonys and several lenses.

Hi Roni:
I might be interested, if you haven't sold it yet?
You could PM me if it is available, please?

Hi Bill,
I think I sent you an email. Not sure since it was from my phone. Yes I still have the fisheye lens. It is a great lens, I am using Sony cameras now and just haven't used it much.
Roni
No, I never had a filter kit with this lens.
I am now using a Sony system and I have a Sony fisheye. I haven't used this Nikon one in a while It is clean, no scratches on lenses. I have always used both caps when not on camera. I did put some gaffer tape on the front cap because it was falling off to frequently.
F-Mount Lens/FX Format
Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22
Super Integrated Coating
180° Angle of View
Close-Range Correction System
7-Blade Diaphragm
Built-In Lens Hood
It sells for over $600 at B&H photo for used lens. I am asking $450 plus shipping to continental United States.
Photos on request.
I have a Think Tank navigator and just love it. One of the things I do love, is I can access my camera with lens, while the bag is standing up. I don't have to lay it down to access. I can lay it down, and there is a spot for computers.
PM me if interested, I have a code where you get a small free gift.

The Ravpower hub lets you transfer files from your SD card to a USB hard drive with one button push. You can also transfer jpegs from the card to a tablet or phone using its wifi access point capabilities.
Hmm. that might work a bit better for me. I will be traveling to Kenya in July. There is a weight limit, so I am not sure if I will bring my travel laptop. I was going to bring the my passport ssd drive, but that only give me one backup. I have 2 small hard drives, with the Ravpower, I could back up to my 2 hard drives. I have to think about this option.
Thanks so much.

I use a Ravpower device
I understand this is a reader but it doesn't back up the files. So you still need a computer, is this correct?
I have the WD 500GB My Passport Wireless SSD. I don't need to use it wirelessly when I get home, so it is pretty fast transferring files. I can't seem to get it to work on my Amazon Tablet. I was hoping I could view the files there. If anyone knows how I can do this, I would love the help.
I have several of the MagMod products. They work on the flash, not on the lens. The Magbeam is like a *better beamer* There is a magnet on the flash and the Magbeam attaches with a magnet. While I don't use this one often, I do use some of the other MagMod diffusers.

I keep hearing about restaurants opening up selling "Cuban food". I ate mostly at places the Cubans had access to. The food was terrible. In spite of what seems like lots of arable land, there is little availability of produce. We had black beans and rice, which I like, several times - but there was no seasoning - no pepper, no salsa. One of the members of my group who had been there before brought a bottle of Tabasco - he was very popular. I ordered a "vegetarian pizza" at a small restaurant - it had canned peas and carrots on top!

I did not find that at all. The places we ate at were excellent. The food was great. Going outside of Havana, we went to an amazing organic farm. Watching the workers plant and water all the amazing produce was great. I watched a worker planting, mint in a circular pattern. So interesting to see.
In Vinales, walking early morning seeing the children going to school, the cowboys getting ready for the day and the workers in the fields was awesome to see and photograph.
I was in Cuba in December. This was my second trip. It is a beautiful country with amazing architecture. I did feel the people were better off than when I was there 5 years ago. We were 13 people, 2 photographer guides and 2 travel agents. We stayed in private homes and were driven by a team of drivers' in the classic cars. The travel agents have been taking groups there for over 10 years.
We had total freedom to wander the streets of Havana, Trinidad and Vinales. We went to a few fishing villages, to an organic farm, a tobacco farm, among many other locations. There is now wifi in the parks around Havana, Trinidad and some in Vinales. Many Cubans have cell phones and now have wifi access. Some have it in the private homes.
The people of Cuba are so happy to see Americans. They are friendly, and kind people. I know there are mixed feelings about visiting because of the government, but I still feel it is a great place to visit and to give whatever we can to the people.
I will be co-leading a photography trip there next January.
Here are 2 of my images. The ballerina and the fishermen on the Malecon, was amazing. We had 2 young ballerinas who posed for us for over an hour. The second image is a small fishing village, outside of Havana.
I have more images on my website.
