Golite Coupon Alex, FYI, the earliest the coupon could be used was April 22. If you ordered on or after this date, they might give you a credit. It states you need to have it at "redemption." If any... |

Golite The coupon will get you 20% off the website price - except "clearance" prices. It is good until May 5th on any order. In this case the tent would be 240 rather than 300. I got the coup... |

Older lenses for Nex Jacob has a spreadsheet listed earlier on this topic. It's useful. I decided to focus on Minolta lenses. The focus peaking feature of the Nex is very nice for using these lenses. There ar... |

Nex 5N It was the first time I've been to the Wind Rivers. I plan on going back next year too. It is a fantastic place. I should mention that I've used p&s cameras for the last ten years ... |

Nex 5N Impressions I bought a Nex 5N last October and an SLT A77 in January. I have a large variety of lenses for both cameras, including quite a few older manual focus Minolta Rokkor lenses. I have the viewfinder ... |

HDR In-Camera Options I have a Sony Nex 5N and an A77 SLT. Both of these cameras support HDR in the camera. I've been quite pleased with the results even when hand-holding the cameras. Sometimes the photos look a... |

Geigerrig I just picked up the Geigerrig at a Costco warehouse in American Fork, Utah. I weighed it on a triple beam balance. The bag is 96g, the pump and hose is 84g, the drink tube is 58g, and the inline... |

Adapter Weights Jacob, When you talk about lens weight, you don't seem to include the adapter for the Nex. I know the adapter I have for the MC Rokkor lenses is quite heavy. Are there really lenses that ar... |

Big Agnes Clearview I've had a Clearview Pad for a little while now. For the warmer conditions the pad is designed for, I think it is the best choice. It is very comfortable. It is very lightweight. Another big ad... |

Golite Ion At this point, I've used the Ion for just two backpacking trips in the southern Utah desert. A friend of mine has also used it for the same two trips. We're both very pleased with the pack. ... |

Tarptent Contrail The Contrail is excellent. I used it again this last week in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. Most of my backpacking is in areas that mosquitos, etc. are not common. So, I don't use the Contr... |

Petzl e+LITE I don't use a light often. I try to get by with moonlight and starlight. If you need to use a light much, this lightweight headlamp of just 28 grams (my measured weight) may not be such a good c... |

Patagonia MicroPuff Vest This is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. It goes into my pack often. I only wear it when I'm hiking in very cold temperatures but when I stop, it often comes out to keep me warm. It is li... |

Petzl Belay/Rappel Device Pirana I've used the Black Diamond ATC-XP for climbing and rappelling and figure8s for rappelling. I recently decided to try the Petzl Pirana. The Pirana weighs 96grams versus the ATC-XP at 89grams (... |

Trango Superfly Wiregate I haven't used the Camp, but my measured weight for a Superfly is just 29grams too (as stated by a user for the Nano weight). They are light and very useful. A real carabiner at just about one o... |

Trango Superfly Screwlock Carabiner It weighs in at just 39grams (my measured weight). These are light and work great. I highly recommend them as a lightweight locking carabiner. |
