Canon Camera Battery Charger Cb-5l (8478A002) For The Bp-511 Battery
Lean-N-Mean On The Charger, The Canon CB-5L Does What It Promises!
by wlswarts
Pros: Does what it promises, Easy-to-use
Cons: Not grounded, Relatively expensive to replace
The Lean-N-Mean promotion is the perfect time for verbose writers like myself to review products that there are, quite simply, few things that might be written about them. In the case of the Canon CB-5L battery charger, it is a one-function device with ...

Kodak Kodachrome KR 64 135-36, 64 ASA (152-8306)
For all of your favorite things, one of mine.
by bkalafut
Pros: Sharp.  Superb flesh tones, browns, and greys, and punchy color too.  Huge dynamic range. Archival.
Cons: One K-process lab left.  Grainier than Velvia or newer Ektachrome.  Cross-curve reciprocity failure.
Velvia and Ektachrome 100GX are well-suited to photography of raindrops on roses; for whiskers on kittens Astia 100F or, if print film is acceptable, Portra would be better.  For at least another fourteen months, there's ...
