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... |

Golite Alex, try S13BBC. It should get you a 20% discount. |

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... |

Black Diamond Tracer Climbing Helmet This is my favorite climbing helmet. It is light, comfortable, and adjustable over a large range of head sizes. A large is 269grams (my measured weight). I highly recommend it. |

Petzl Meteor III Climbing Helmet This is the lightest helmet that I know of. It fits a large range of head sizes but is just barely large enough for my head with no more than a lightweight polyester balaclava underneath. It weighs ... |

DMM Sentinel HMS Screwgate Carabiner Recently, I backpacked off trail that required many rappels. It was very desireable to minimize pack weight to make good time to our preferred destinations. I prefer an HMS Carabiner because a Munte... |

Camp XLH95 Harness I recently went on a backpacking trip that required several rappels. I wanted to minimize my overall weight because we needed to make good time while bushwhacking without a trail. I chose this minim... |

Black Diamond Contour Trekking Poles I was so fed up with the REI/Komperdell poles breaking and not tightening that when these were on Steep and Cheap for 60% off I bought a pair. Mine, with the basket, weigh 19.4 oz (551g) for the pair... |

National Geographic TOPO! Outdoor Recreation Mapping Software - California To get the most utility out of a GPS, I like using a GPS together with topographic maps on a computer. I will create routes prior to a trip, print the topographic maps, and load the routes into my GP... |

Western Mountaineering Highlite This is my favorite bag. I use it more than any other (and I've collected quite a few). I decided to post a review when I saw the two other 4s bringing it down a bit. True, the girth isn... |

Gorillapod SLR I don't like it at all. Maybe some of these work and some don't. My camera with batteries is within the weight range specified for operation. The camera gets dumped into the sand/dirt. I w... |

REI Peak UL I had a pair of these since they first became available. The lock mechanism can be very difficult to lock. The lock mechanism becomes unattached from the pole (happened with one of mine and recently... |

eBAY.com I certainly agree with the individual comments above on using eBay. There are frequently items I'm interested in buying but don't want to pay full retail, like my Integral Designs eVent jacke... |
