Black Label Bag Leather Wrist Strap:
I bet that there are plenty of you out there who don’t use a neck strap because you prefer to carry around your camera with one hand. It’s less conspicuous, and your camera is always ready to go. I’m definitely one who prefers to carry my camera like that, and that’s why I love the Leica M neck strap so much. It’s a strong strap that is cheap, and it is easy to loop around my wrist. For those who don’t want to loop their long neck strap around their wrist, you can get wrist straps from several companies, such as, Artisan & Artist, Gordy’s, and even Luigi. Today I have a wrist strap for you all to check out but it’s not made by any of those manufacturers that I’ve just mentioned. I have for you all today a Black Label Bag leather wrist strap. Seeing as I don’t see much about this strap on the web, I thought that I would share with you all what I think of it. [continue reading…]

Manfrotto MTT2-P02 Table Top Tripod with Ball Head:
I’ve been very busy these past few days as I am packing for my trip. As always, I’m online looking for any last minute accessories or deals to buy like every time that I go away, and I ran into the Manfrotto MTT2-P02 Table Top Tripod with Ball Head. It looked pretty cool, and the price was right, so I decided to order it. I am bringing my main tripod with me but I figured that this little Table Top Tripod from Manfrotto would great to just throw in my bag for the times when I don’t want to bring my big tripod.

Billingham Hadley Small Review:
The Billingham Hadley collection of bags are some of the most successful bags in the Billingham catalogue. They are rightfully so because the combination of size, protection, durability, and dependibility of these bags are perfect for most photographers’ needs. I’ve had my original Hadley for well over 15 years, and it has not let me down once. It has been crushed, been bumped around countless times, been through numerous rain storms, and to this day, it still protects my precious Leica equipment just as well as it did when I first purchased it. But what happens if you want a Billingham Hadley but it’s just too big for your photographic needs? Well, Billingham has taken care of that need with their Billingham Hadley Small.

A Post About Monitor Calibration:
Sorry for the lack of posts! My computer screen was blacking out intermittently, so I sent it back to Apple. On a side note, I am so glad that I bought Applecare! They replaced the screen, and gave me an additional 90 days on my warranty (I only have a few days left to my Applecare). It took a total of three business days, and I received it in the morning as well. Anyway, because of that, I have been busy reloading all the software back into my computer (one suggestion before I ship the computer was to do a clean install), and it’s been taking me ages. Since I’m still having a bit of difficulty locating all of my software, I thought I’d do my monitor calibration. [continue reading…]
What Led Me to The Gitzo G1178M:
If you read my other post about the non-quick release version of the G1178M (the G1177M), I clearly stated that I prefer ball heads with no quick releases. I never liked the idea of quick releases but I was sent the G1178M to check out, and well, I ended up sending the G1177M back, and keeping the G1178M quick release instead. It just goes to show that I should never be “stuck in my old ways” :). [continue reading…]
