I was in need of some slide storage, mainly family photos inherited from my late Father. These slide draws seemed ideal. The items were as described, and arrived in good order. A good seller, thank you.

Canon 400 mm f4 is
I have a Canon 500mm f4 and did have the 100-400 f5.6 zoom. I hated that latter lens. I could never get sharp photos, I wasn't convinced the IS made any difference and, though I carted it around, I never used it. However as I needed something lighter when I was out birding all day I opted for the 400 mm f4. It is lightweight, easy to carry and handhold and like all the big Canon lenses it is well-made and focusses really fast. It also takes good photos BUT I don't think they are sharp or as clear as the 500mm f4. Maybe it's just cos I'm still getting used to it. So if you can only afford 1 big lens, if quality is the main driver, get the 500mm work out more to build your muscles and learn some of the "large lens hand-hold" techniques esposed by people like Artie Morris or Alastair Benn. However if portability is the priority the 400mm is great although there is a slight compromise with quality

4 Finger Picks Protector Plectrum Thumb Fingertip Cover for Bass/Ukulele Guitar
01 Aug, 2018
Great idea but didn't work out
as a bass player with slowly worsening arthritis in my fretting fingers I wanted to see if they would make playing more comfortable. They are very flexible and soft so I thought they would work - and they did BUT in order for them to stay on they have to be tight and that starts to interfere with your fingers in other ways. I ended up with throbbing numb finger ends - only marginally less bad than painful. They did allow me to slide on bass strings. I'd be surprised if they worked as well on guitar strings though. If they make a slightlly larger set, at this price I'd be prepared to give them a go

AC Adapter Charger For IBM Lenovo ThinkPad X100e X200 X201 Laptop Power Supply
25 Oct, 2017
Power adapter with figure of 8 input rather than cloverleaf
I love my thinkpad for travelling and editing my bird photos but there was a catch. I use folding 13 amp plugs for convenience of packing but they only come with a figure of 8 plug at the other end. I then had to use a cloverleaf/figure 8 adaptor for the charger and I always worried what would happen if I lost it whilst travelling. This comes with the correct input [same as my camera battery charger and shaver] so I can use just one lead for every job and no worry about lost adaptors. So good I bought another immediately in case they sold out
