Review of the Manfrotto 190 Pro / Bogen 3001 Tripod If you read some photography books or websites you will find a good quality tripod is very high on the recommended list of things to have. There have been many times a tripod has allowed me to get a shot I otherwise would've had no chance at getting. There have also been numerous times where I've been too lazy to bring my tripod with me and missed a shot. (Yes even with the Canon IS lens) So I was really excited when I had the opportunity to replace my old Manfrotto tripod with something a lot better. My choice was the 190 PRO. |

Review of the Manfrotto/Boken 486 RC2 ball head Manfrotto also known as Bogen in the US is very well known for their tripods and support equipment. I had been using a Manfrotto tripod and ball head for the past while, but it was time to upgrade to something a little heavier duty to support my camera equipment. The 486 Ball head was an excellent size for me, and it's from a company I trust. If you have never tried a ball head for photography, you should read on to find out why most serious photographers use a ball head.

I'm sure most people have this problem with their SLR cameras. You have to press your eye right up against the camera, and all the grease and oil on your face smudges the LCD on the back of your camera. It's even worse if you have glasses, or if there is some glare from behind you. I've even heard of peoples noses hitting buttons and controls.

This is the standard lens that came with my Canon Digital Rebel. There is also now available a USM version of this lens that comes with some cameras, so check what you get before you buy. The USM version is the ring type so it does not have full time manual. This is a decent little lens, and it's actually quite handy so I keep it in my camera bag at all times. |

This is a very interesting lens, because it doesn't have the best reviews online and has been recently discontinued. It was actually the world's first SLR lens with the Image Stabilizer feature built in. For a first generation product I think this lens does exceptionally well, and it's a lens I very much enjoy using. |

This is another one of my favorite lenses, and one I'd highly recommend the new photographer or the enthusiast on a budget. This is actually one of the cheapest Canon lenses that feature true Ring-Type USM focusing for excellent speed and silent operation. If you have never tried one of Canon's true USM lenses you'll be in for a treat. I use this lens with Canon's EW-63II Lens hood. It's a little expensive, but it fits well and helps improve contrast and reduce annoying lens flare. |
