Hello Mr Weakley, Very clean strap position. Sony original strap is very stiff and hard to bend. It worked great on my Fujifilm 3800! Jack [Reply]

Hi, Kent! I’m researching tripods right now and appreciated your thoughts on what to be sure to look for and consider. My first tripod came from Target and I find myself getting annoyed with it more and more… so I’m doing my homework while finishing saving my pennies! [Reply] 
Yes, the Target tripod to a very good one takes many pennies. Good luck! [Reply] 
Hi Kent, I am taking my first-ever trip to Europe this summer. My camera plans are to go as light as possible: one lens (18-200), one body, spare battery, enough CF cards for the trip. I have decided any tripod would be too bulky and I probably wouldn’t carry it, so I am thinking about a monopod. I am thinking I may want to do some indoor shooting or some night shots. I know a monopod would be better than nothing, but am I going to have good luck doing this kind of shooting? Also, with a monopod, what type of head would you recommend? Thanks in advance. [Reply]

Yup, and it was on my back for an entire week. Oh, and my tripod was in my checked back.

I’ll give you a tiny hint.. on Canon lenses, if you want to focus on the stars in the sky, put the “L” on the lens to the focus mark. Infinity is “too far” on Canon lenses.
Once I learned that, I started looking for the same thing on Nikkor lenses.. totally different.. they mostly work okay at or close to infinity.

Daniel,
Thanks for the tip. Very helpful to know if you’re a Canon user. Is this true with all Canon lenses? Thanks again for sharing!
