It seems like almost everyone in the United States has an mp3 player nowadays, and many of these music lovers rely on Apple iPods to bring them their favorite tunes. And why not? They're convenient, fashionable, and best of all, small enough to carry with you wherever you want to go. And now it's easier than ever to listen to your iPod in the car with one of Apple's iPod car adapters. Here are ten good reasons to get one:
Searching through radio stations is a major distraction while you're driving and could be potentially dangerous to you and your fellow roadsters. Stop flipping from station to station for a good song when you could have up to 10,000 of your iPod favorites playing from your car stereo.
Apple iPods are famous for their highest-quality sound. No more radio static when you drive underneath a tunnel or through a canyon.
There are three types to choose from: wireless, jack (built-in or not), and cassette adapters. So just about anyone with any type of car can listen to their iPod while they're driving.
They often come preinstalled. Many prominent car dealers, including Mazda, Toyota, and Chevrolet have started including the built-in version with some of their most popular models.
Your car didn't come equipped with an iPod built-in jack adapter? That's not a problem. The jack adapters are also sold separately, and if you have some mechanical experience, you can even install it yourself. Otherwise you can hire someone to install it or just get the wireless or cassette adapter instead.
They're great for long road trips. You may be a radio fan, but like it or not, stations don't always work when you're traveling. Your iPod car adapter will deliver your favorite songs with the clearest quality-commercial-free.
The cassette adapter will also work in older models, so you don't have to get a new car to listen to your music.
Depending on the time of year, prices for iPod car adapters can be very reasonable, (particularly around the holiday season).
The jack adapter and wireless adapter are both wire-free, decreasing the amount of clutter in your car.
May sound silly, but does the phrase "Everyone is doing it" ring a bell? It's true. A lot of people are investing in iPod car adapters, so it's easy to take your music and share it with a friend, even if you're not the one driving.
Whether you choose the wireless adapter for uncluttered convenience, the built-in jack for high-quality sound, or the cassette kit for the best price, you'll love the freedom of going anywhere you want while still being able to listen to your favorite music, right from your car's stereo.
Hopefully these top reasons to buy an Ipod car adapter have got you motivated to take music on the road.
ok i need help with adapter rings to get my fisheye on my camera.?
i have a 33mm dcr trv18 camcorder. im pretty sure its 33mm, if im wrong please tell me. ok i have a 54mm fisheye i need a lot of adapter rings. is there any site that would deffitly have all the adapter rings i need?
Kyle I've already answered this question:
I have a feeling the trv-18 had a 30mm filter thread, as I had a contemporaneous model. the filter thread should either be written around the lens or stamped on the inside of the lens cap.
The manual can be dowloaded here:

The fisheye lens sounds like a series 7 type, in which case you need a series 7 adaptor, which are available in various thread sizes, though you may need to buy a 37mm and a 30-37 stepping ring:

If this doesn't sound right then srb-griturn can fit you with a custom stepping ring.
Your camera has a 30mm filter.

Astronomy is one interesting field of science. Through the rigors of this discipline, we are able to capture even the vague objects in the galaxy.
The telescope is a device that aids the naked eye to take a good view of distant objects. Because of this, astrophotography has become very popular. Ordinary camera's lenses may not be able to make astrophotography possible. Yet, the onset of cameras as telescope adapters has changed this notion.
Neophyte astrophotographers prefer the traditional 35mm camera. From the day when astrophotography was preconceived, film cameras did a good job capturing optical images in the atmosphere. Moreover, the digital camera's rise to fame also paved the way to a much higher resolution than ever before.
Film cameras are now indeed a part of the telescope world. There are three popular ways in which the camera can be attached to the telescope for a much better output. One is though the piggyback mount. This device attaches the film camera into the telescope tube via a bracket that is locked to the back unit of the scope or a ring that clamps around the telescope pipe. The camera is not dependent on the telescope. It shoots using its own lens and the enlargement obtained depends upon its type. With the piggyback mount, the telescope purposely serves in guiding the photo shoot's accuracy and as a tracking mount.
The second is prime focus that takes galactic photographs using no eyepiece. Instead, it uses a tube the "T" adapter. The film camera is attached onto the telescope's "prime focus." This method proves effective in capturing dim but big objects in the sky like Orion Nebula.
The focal coupling method proves best when used with digital cameras where both the eyepiece and the camera lens are set to action. This approach is most preferred by those who love to use their digital cameras. In those instances, the eyepiece icon is coupled via the camera lenses instead of laid onto the film plane.
Throughout time, cameras in telescopes have been a great aid in several research studies attempting to provide explanation to the what's and how's of the universe. They will undoubtedly continue to pull up fame and resolution for astronomy.

can you use ANY 9 volt DC adapter with a boss metal core pedal?
No but some may work - it will need to have at least the same MA rating as the original and will need to have the same "polarity" (plus and minus on the connector). Boss pedals are center negative.
Be careful because if the polarity is wrong, you could damage the pedal.

Once you have clicked on the battery you will be redirected to the page displaying alllt he information about the PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter. Click on the photo of the PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter to enlarge the image and view the tip dimensions to ensure they are similar to your original PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapters tip dimensions. There are several tips on Selecting the correct PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter The Voltage must be within 10% of your original PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapters Voltage. The Amps may be higher but they cannot by lower.If you are purchasing a universal PA3469U-1ACA Adapter or Car Charger you will need to work out the Watts of your original PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter and select the universal PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter or Car Charger with the same Watts or next highest Wattage. Before purchasing an PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter you need to make sure make the PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter will give you the correct voltage and suitable current output. Toshiba PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter Use and MaintenanceCorrect methods of operation are: first AC adapter DC output plug into the notebook's power jack, and then put into the AC input plug on 220V AC power outlet; and should be unloaded first when the AC input plug unplug, And then pull out the DC output plug. If the plug (unloaded) when reversing the sequence of the adapter will communicate Department unladen state, are not allowed to communicate Department adapter no-load state, for his work on the pulse, and no-load when the switch transformer windings to generate highly anti-peak voltage breakdown, such as IC, capacitor, such as ac adapter voltage-sensitive components. Although the current AC adapter has been set up its no-load protection circuit, but because of the design is required to look up to other problems, such protection circuit protective effect is very limited To find out the voltage & current, turn your laptop over and look for a label, sticker or writing which shows the voltage and current, it should look something like the examples below. The voltage figure will have a "V" after the number i.e 19V and the current will have a "A" or "mA". i.e 3.15A. You can also find these shown on your original PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter if you have it. You can work out the Wattage by multiplying the Voltage by the Amps i.e 20V X 3A = 60 Watts. There is no 60 Watt PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter so you will need to select the next step up which is the 70 Watt PA3469U-1ACA AC Adapter. PLEASE NOTE: If the wattage requirement for your laptop is lower than the 60W or 90W output of the adapter, it will not damage your laptop, your laptop will only take the amount of power it requires. I.E. If your laptop needs 45W, then either the 60W or 90W will work OK. If your laptop needs 80W then you will need the 90W one as the 75W one will not be powerful enough.If in doubt please email us on our contacts page.

There are a number of ways to get into macro photography ranging from inexpensive to outrageously expensive. Tough decisions to make, especially for someone that doesn't make their living from photography.
If you decide you want to explore macro photography you have a number of options. I have listed these options starting with what I would consider to be the best equipment for the job. This doesn't mean that buying a dedicated macro lens will always be better than extension rings but in general you will get the best results by going this way.
* dedicated macro lenses
* extension tubes or bellows units
* reversing rings
* close up lenses and
* macro zooms (that are pushing the limit of what we are talking about)
Dedicated macro lenses are the ultimate way to go if you are serious at all about doing this type of work. It doesn't have to be expensive, I bought a wonderful 50mm Sigma Macro lens used for all of $120 (new about $270) and it is tack sharp and produces amazing images. My main macro lens is a Sigma 150mm Macro and cost a whopping $700, the best money I have ever spent. This gives you an idea about the price range available and the sky's the limit with some highly specialized Nikon macro lenses in the $2,000 range. Why the difference in focal lengths? I'll get to that soon in another article that I'm working on! If you are serious about macro photography buying a lens specifically designed for the purpose is the best way to go. The lens designs are optimized for close focusing and the lenses are also generally flat field (focus in a flat plane) producing sharper corners on flat objects such as pieces of wood or slabs of rock. Flat field may be a term that many have not heard of and I'll elaborate later on this as well.
Extension tubes or bellows units are pieces of equipment that put space between the camera body and the lens thus allowing the lens to focus closer. They can work well with certain lenses, for instance, if you have a 50mm prime lens this might be a good option to get into macro work at an affordable cost. Extension tubes often come in sets of three of different lengths (high quality tubes tend to be sold individually) that can be used singly or combined to get the close focusing distance required. Bellows units work on the same principle but are expandable like a "bellows" allowing a great deal of flexibility. There real downside is the expense and they are bulky and heavy as well. I expect most people use bellows units for studio work only as they aren't terribly practical in the field. One area where extension tubes really shine is for making long focal length lenses like a 300mm focus closer, great for photographing skittish dragonflies and other critters.
Close up lenses are clear "filters" that screw onto the front of your lens allowing the lens to focus closer. Quality varies from mediocre to quite acceptable depending on the quality of the filters. This is likely the least expensive way to start shooting macro but does have its drawbacks. A big factor that has to be looked at is the quality of the camera lens you will be using. Inexpensive zoom lenses will likely produce less than stellar results while high quality prime lenses can produce excellent results but none of these will produce tack sharp results like the dedicated macro lenses. The biggest advantage? As these are just fancy filters they are very light, no extra tubes or additional lenses to carry.
You don't hear much about reversing rings anymore and I expect that's because most people are using zoom lenses that likely wouldn't work very well. Reversing rings allow you to mount a lens "backwards" on the camera body. When used with high quality prime lenses the results can be stunning and if you reverse a wide angle lens often you can achieve a high magnifications on the order of 2X or more. For people interested in high magnification shooting this is often the way to go, especially if you are on a budget.
What about the macro zoom lens that you already own? Many of the new lenses that come as part of a kit are labeled as macro zooms and while they do focus a little closer than normal they are not true macro lenses. My experience has been that most of them are very suspect in terms of sharpness as these lenses are not designed for this sort of application. Of course in a pinch they will work but to get in really close to your subject one of the above options would be best.
What are you presently using? Are you pleased with the results?
