Perfect Mike gave me an old Canon 35 – 80mm lens. A quick google search revealed this lens to be nearly worthless,
but there’s and easy mod that turns it into a great macro lens. Took about 10 mins and had to buy a UV filter. Works great.

As Perfect Mike and I have just taken the dive into the world of DSLRs, I needed some help figuring out just what camera bodies do what and how what they do compares to a more expensive model or a model from another manufacturer (I am a Canon fanboy), which I found over at SnapSort. Snapsort let’s you easily compare two camera bodies (although I wish it was three, being able to compare your current camera to two that you are thinking of up upgrading to would be ideal) and sorts the results for an easy comparison with explanations on what exactly the features are that they are testing. User’s can vote on which body they prefer and can upload video reviews, sample HDSLR videos and ‘How-to’ movies. So much info packed into a very well designed and easy to use site. Also check out their other site LensHero for the same sort of help with lenses.

Just picked up this Flip UltraHD and a waterproof housing for it to fuck around with at the beach.
I modified the ‘leash’ to give it a little more strength. All in all the video quality is pretty good.

Bear the mark.
