Wow, excellent sleuthing!  Now we can legitimately hit the Complain button on this one.

I'm left-handed as well, but never took offense to it.

I didn't.  I recall seeing it almost every year, lol.

Sorry to hear about your brother.  This comes up about once a year.  Unfortunately, there probably wouldn't be enough of a demand for a manufacturer to commit the resources needed to produce a ...

You know this is from an April Fool's gag, right?

I've used SterlingTek batteries in my Canon DSLRs since 2001, never had a problem.  That's with 8 DSLRs, and 2 different battery formats.

I've heard of removing mold from a lens, but not the sensor.  What did you do to protect your gear from humidity & moisture after the first time you had it cleaned?  First thing I'd do if I was ...

I am careful; even after several years with the phone (and other devices with the same connector) I've never damaged anything.

I agree with this.  Unless it's someone I personally know, I'm not letting a stranger in my house local or not.  The only time I've done this was when the buyer was a local Police Officer (which I ...

I've had a D30, 10D, 30D, 50D, 70D, 7D, and currently use both the 80D and 7D II.  The only problem I've had with any of these was the pc board on the 30D died about 2-1/2 years after purchase.  ...

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with a stranger coming to my house, or going to theirs but that's just me and it also depends on exactly what you're selling. Is there a reason the ...

I use a BlackRapid sling.  With larger or heavier lenses like a 70-200 or 100-400, I attach the attachment lug to the lens tripod collar. There's a lock on the release, so it's a 2-step process to ...

There are D-ring plates for both arca-swiss and Manfrotto RC2. This is a plate for arca-swiss; there's also a 70mm size. This one will work with Manfrotto. What I've done is picked up a SpiderPro ...

I shoot everything in raw; conversion is done in Lightroom 6 (stand-alone, not a subscription). If I need any detailed editing I use Photoshop CS4; again a stand-alone. I also have no desire to go ...

Is this really a thing?  I just recently upgraded from a Samsung Note 4, and only ever used the USB for charging.  Never had a problem.

Yes, that's how most people use a monpod. If you do that then there's no way to attach the head; typically it's a standard 3/8" thread to attach it.  Alternatively you could attach the camera ...

As noted, since you already purchased it's a bit late for any detailed analysis whether or not you paid too much. The only purchase I would have avoided is the tripod. Never heard of the brand or ...

Are you processing the photos with Adobe RGB as the colorspace?  If you're only processing them for screen display, they should be in srgb. https://petapixel.com/2009/09/17/why-you-should-probably- ...

This is really the best way if all the OP is doing is downloading photos.  No special software req'd, and works the same regardless of camera used.  It's faster as well.

Nope.  If I'm going to be shooting in such bad conditions that my lens needs extra protection, I'll use a clear protective filter.  More likely, though, I wont be shooting in such conditions.  As ...
