I'm VERY pleased with this speaker. It surpasses my Bose Soundlink Mini II & my Sony SR30. More volume, great undistorted bass & treble in classical, classic rock, hard rock, & blues. The Sony & Bose were acceptable but died in under a year. I am hoping to have better longevity with this JBL.

I spent about 3 weeks choosing my next headphones and I ended up with Bose 700.My use case is a heavy music listener from classics to rock and DJ music, I frequently fly and take train to work, I often need to join conference calls while traveling. Noise Cancellation headphones is a necessity for me. Naturally, I was researching latest Sony MX3, Bose QC35 II and Bose 700. I ruled Sony out relatively fast due to requirement of phone calls and had to choose between 2 Bose options. Sony's mic is horrible. I went re-read many reviews on amazon with many mentioning 700 having issues with connection, mobile app and bad sound quality - specifically bass.Following recommendations I ordered QC35 II. Unexpectedly, Amazon had issues delivering these and I requested a refund. I thought it might be a sign from above... I stepped into the store and decided to try both pairs myself. After a short conversation with a seller pressured with the need to get a new pair I purchased Bose 700. Here are my observations after couple days of usage:1. You don't have to use Bose app to use these. Just go to Bluetooth menu and add these. The app also works perfectly for me.2. Noise Cancellation - I tested these right away on airplane and taxi. Works amazingly.3. Connectivity issue - works with no issues.4. Comfort - very comfortable. I can wear them for hours.5. Fast charge / USB C - **must**. I charged for 15 min to get couple hours of listening. Amazing. I also can use my Macbook pro charger to charge these. Love it.6. Sound Quality - I have to admit I miss the QC 35 II bass drive. However, these still sound like Bose. The sound is much cleaner - very transparent. I can distinguish every instrument in the orchestra while listening to the classical music. I test the speaker and saw that it is capable to produce amazing bass. When I put dance music the bass drive is very nice. I believe it is a matter of firmware upgrade to fix the issue.** I hope Bose is reading these notes and can come up with an update. Equalizer would be an amazing to tweak our listening experience. **7. Phone call quality is a treat for the business people.Don't think twice get this pair. The price difference is not that huge to think a lot.Note I'm just another buyer as most of you. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any. I don't mind sharing my experience.I don't think pictures are necessary. There are plenty of pics / videos out there.

Each and every time I mount this lens on my 1DS mark II camera, I'm falling in love with Photography again. This Lens is super fast auto focus and deliver sharp and crispy images quality even at wide open F/2.8 the IS functioning is all about for my handheld shooting on location without tripod, it works effectively and reliable. I can compare and rate this lens almost perfect like my Canon 85mm F/1.2L but 70-200 IS USM is faster autofocus. With the zoom lens like this shooting on Manual mode is my favorite cause I can make the most beautiful pictures out of this lens.It wasn't true as some previous review said there is a problem with many lenses with serial number of UT08XX or earlier. Honestly! Mine is UT04XX but it perfect and I will keep it till my last breath.

E600 sounds just as good as the more expensive E500. I am keeping the E600 and returning the E500. This E600 is the best in my opinion of all the Bluetooth portable loud speakers I tried. I have tried Ambramtek E500,Klipsch The Three II, Klipsch Heritage Wireless The One II, and Sony SRS-XB43. E600 is as good as E500, loud with plenty of bass and sound is very clear no matter how high the volume is. The only difference is E500 has equalizer so you can adjust the bass, treble, and mid individually for an extra $100. Disappointed with the bass for Klipsch and Sony. Abramtek is outstanding, I am really surprised how good its product, for a brand I never heard before. I consider myself very knowledgeable and an audiophile. And I usually don’t write review, but decided to write one since I am extremely happy with it.

Hey, I'm PercyI'm a YouTuber (Gogglez Enraged) that does reviews, tips, recommendations, and top gears to get.Build quality of the 50 f/1.8 is very cheap (as you might expect). This lens feels more like a toy than a piece of optics. It utilizes plastic construction right down to the lens mount (the lenses are glass of course). This light material combined with the small size (2.7" x 1.6"/68.2mm x 41.0mm - WxL) puts this lens in the featherweight class - 4.6 oz (130g). The 50 f/1.8 is currently Canon's lightest. It was also Canon's shortest EOS-mount lens until the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens was introduced. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens delivers very sharp images as inexpensively as Canon lenses get.The 50 f/1./8 bears a plastic lens mount. Considering how light the 50 f/1.8 II lens is, the plastic lens mount seems adequate from a strength perspective. You might get more wear than you wish if you are changing the lens frequently.Autofocus is driven by a micro motor. Focus speed is not stellar, but fine in good light with subjects that are not moving too quickly. The 50 f/1.8 II is one of Canon's louder/buzzier lenses - you know when it is focusing. But this is not a wildlife lens - and the noise probably won't bother most people. I suppose a positive aspect of the sound is that you know when it is working - and when it is finished working - when focus is locked. FTM (Full Time Manual) focusing is not included. The 50 f/1.8 extends up to 5/16" during focusing - the very small 52mm filter does not rotate.All in all, I truly enjoy using this lens for my B-roll for my Youtube channel and the webpage. As well as having those awesome blur shot background. i highly recommend purchase this lens cause its inexpensive and a good lens to have around because of its size and the picture quality.

I ordered the 52mm filter because the 30mm f1.4 sigma lens for sony e-mount cameras has a 52mm thread but after lens arrived, I couldn't fit it on.But after-service support was pretty helpful in telling me this

I do not use these for the UV filter but as a good quality, low cost lens protector. That said:My 1st Tiffen was a 55mm UV Protector I got for the kit lens that came with a Sony a7ii; an FE 28-70. I was so happy with the purchase that I have since purchased three additional Tiffen UV Protection Filters. One is on a Sony E 55-210 I bought used and one is on a Samyang 35mm I bought new. The one I am writing this review for I assume is still on the Sony FE 50mm I bought new but returned and forgot to remove the filter.The point? I treat my lenses, new or used, like I treat a cell phone. That being the phone stays in the box until I have a protective case for them and lenses stay in the box until I have a protective filter to pair them with. And the one I forgot to remove from the returned lens? That is how confident in the Tiffen filters I am. Once I put one on a lens, I never need to think about it again.I have used several brands in several sizes ranging from the cheaper Altura and Polaroid to the mid range Hoya and B & W.Where does Tiffen fit? Well they are no Hoya or B & W but I am no professional photographer. I am an amateur who mostly enjoys street photography when I travel and for my money Tiffen is the best. Yes, you can spend more and get better glass and if you really have reason to worry about ghosting you should look for a higher end lens. That isn't me saying ghosting has been a problem for me. I normally use a lens hood and I think that helps cut down on light reflection. I have noticed some minor issues with it on some shots I have taken in direct bright light conditions but not enough to justify the higher price.I do not stack filters as I haven't had a need to so I can not give an opinion on that topic. I would assume that the risk of ghosting would increase.The short version is this. The Tiffen UV Protection Filter is well made with good quality glass and a metal ring with threading I do not worry will cross thread or strip. They do what I need by protecting my lens. If I was buying a ND or polarizers I might buy a more costly brand but for everyday protection, Tiffen is all I need and the best for my money.Tiffen say it best in their own product description; A small price to pay to protect your investment.

When I read the news of Canon releasing a new Mark II version of this lens the first thought that came to my mind was why? Has Canon lost its mind? Why would you mess around with a lens that has become a staple of nearly every professional Canon user in the world? Since this lens was released in September of 2001 it has earned a reputation as being one of the most rugged and sharpest lenses of its kind. Professional photographer and photo equipment reviewer Ken Rockwell, for example, borrowed this lens from a friend to test who had dropped it off an elephant to the cobblestones nine feet below while shooting in India. Even with that event in its history Ken gave it a stunningly positive review! Many of the most famous photos taken in the last nine years were taken with this lens, including many of the photos that appear in Canon's own sales brochures. In the lens life cycle, if such a thing exists, this lens is hardly an old timer at nine years old. With its proven powerful robust image stabilizer, legendarily sharpness, and tank-like build, one cannot help wonder what the motivation for fixing something that's not broke is. I think the real motivation was keeping "pace" with Nikon and raising prices.Canon is seen more and more as falling behind its nemesis Nikon. With the recent release of Nikon's VR II vibration reduction which supposedly can work up to four stops, Canon had to fire back with a "new" version of the image stabilizer on its own lenses. Thus IS II was born. Needless to say, the new Nikon 70-200 lens retails for over (...) on Amazon as opposed to this "old" Canon lens which sells for about (...). It's expected that new Canon 70-200 2.8L IS II will retail for at least (...) if not more. Is the new lens really worth (...) more than the old lens still being sold? I own this "old" model now for about six months and the only way I can see improvement is if somehow Canon could recreate this same lens, ruggedness and all, at half the weight. Now that would be something worth paying (...) or more for! In reality, the new model will actually weigh 20 grams more than the "old" model. So much for progress!I have shot indoor and outdoor shots both hand held and with my Bogen automatic mono-pod with this lens. In both cases the results have been nothing short of amazing. Clear sharp images almost every time with magnificent color and superb brokeh (blur quality). The image stabilization is first rate and runs hard and strong. Don't be fooled into saving money buying the other versions of this lens. If you ever expect to be free from using a flash and get great results in reasonable natural lighting, this is the lens to buy. If you can't afford to buy this lens then save up for it. If you compromise you may be sorry later.I believe that any changes Canon has made to the new lens will largely be undetectable by professional and amateur photographers alike. The only exception to this is the added weight, increased price, and the very slight ability of the new model to focus closer (about 8"). It's also hard to see how the current powerful image stabilization could be made much better. At some point it all becomes a matter of subject movement and no stabilization system can deal with that other than using higher shutter speeds. That said, the more important question to ask is whether Canon produced a "better" lens at all? Currently we have no test reviews to look at and it is entirely possible that the new lens may actually under perform this "old model". We just don't know at the moment. For my money I would grab this "old" model while you can. Not only is there hardly any risk, but in all likely-hood the after market value of this lens may soon rise.MY UPDATED COMMENTS: Despite some new positive reviews on the new lens, I still doubt that most will notice much of a difference between the new and the old lenses unless they really blow up the image. The old lens produced images that graced some of the top publications worldwide for the last 10 years with nothing but praise. Canon has effectively fooled you all to push though a huge price increase never before seen for an upgrade of the same type lens. It seems the consumer is once again the victim and they don't even realize it!
