Logitech Harmony 700 LCD Remote Control
Is this ONE GOOD Remote Control To Replace Several Cluttering Your Coffee Table?
by Ed.Williamson
Pros: Consolidates everything into one package.
Cons: Complicated.
Do you hate keeping up with a plethora of remote control units cluttering your coffee table? If you have only adults in your house it can be vexing, because different adults move the remotes around, and they are hard to find. If you have small kids in ...

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 ...

Visible Dust Arctic Butterfly Brite 724 Kit
A lot simpler than you might suspect
by ncphototrekker
Pros: This is your best choice for keeping the sensor of your DSLR free of dust.
Cons: Other than price, the brush has a habit of falling off potentially damaging the sensor.
