Color Me Stupid.......2007-09-13
I finally decided to go optical with my Playstation 3 and my media/surround system. First I looked at Monster cables Monster Cable Fiber Optic Digital Audio Cable for PlayStation 3 (10 Feet) , but in my Amazon search I found the Intec Playstation 3 Optical Cable which at the time of my search (and this writing) cost less than the Monster cable.
So I went with Intec. After the Intec Optical cable arrived at my house I couldn't wait to hook it up. I immediately opened the package, disconnected the digital coax cable that I was currently using, and I attempted to connect the Intec Optical Cable...but it wouldn't fit into the input/outputs on my device or on my receiver. Humph!? What the heck? This should just fit, right? Plug and play, no? Why the...? Maybe a little pressure....ummmph...nope. Oh, man!
Am I crazy or are these things really not fitting? I don't want to damage my devices (or the cables). I read the directions/literature from front to back. Nothing. What now? Maybe I call Intec. Yup. That's what I'm gonna do, as silly as it sounds to have to call tech support to install a cable.
I explained my dilemma to a very nice gentleman at Intec who was completely baffled as to why they wouldn't fit. "Are you inserting the cable flat-top up/half circle down?" he asked. "Indeed," I replied. He then suggested that I send him the cable, and he'd send me a new one. Very kind, but that process would take a lot longer than I wanted to wait.
So off to the high end electronic store with my Intec cable I went. If they couldn't tell what was wrong with the Intec or what I was doing wrong, I'd just buy an optical cable from them.
A very nice fellow at the retailer greeted me and said, "Let's have a look at the Intec." I gave it to him. He put a pair of spectacles on, looked at one end of the cable and removed a protective cap from the small gold recptacle on one end and repeated on the other and then he looked at me with a smile that said, "there-you-go-dummy" .
Crikey. I didn't remove the friggin caps? How was I supposed to know those were caps?!? They looked like...little...optical cable...thingamajiggers. Oy.
So the guy at Intec gave me way too much credit, assumed I was smart enough to take the caps off, and he never asked that one key question: Did you remove the caps?
The Intec Optical Cable ultimately works just great...that is if you remove the protective caps. And it works great not only on my Playstation 3, but also from my cable box to my receiver.
One star off for not catering to a dunce like me and saying somewhere in the directions...like first thing...remove the protective caps. Sheesh.
P.S. - Don't forget to change the setting for the input on your receiver from its current to optical.

The Perfect Carry Camera.......2006-12-10
When my Canon Sureshot developed problems on a recent trip to Morocco, I purchased the Leica D-LUX 1 in the Amsterdam Airport Duty Free area. Despite the fact that the box contained four owners manuals, all in languages that weren't English, the camera was quickly familiar to me, extremely intuitive, and a fantastic thing to have stumbled upon. I purchased it for the brand name, and because I'd never seen a Leica digital camera, so I can't take credit for careful research before purchase, but boy does it take beautiful pictures. I love the wider angle lens, the crisp, rich images, the long-lasting battery, and its fantastic compactness. It easily slips in a shirt pocket if necessary, and although I used it constantly while working in rugged terrain in the Atlas Mountains ( film shoot) it functioned perfectly, and became the envy of the set as well. Let's face it, in addition to everything else, it's just downright beautiful.
Great experience.......2006-10-11
I looked at a lot of options to replace a great Canon digicam. Having started my love of photography as an analog SLR user, I have grown to enjoy the spontaneous photos I get with a point and shoot digital camera. In the end I decided against a "bigger" camera and chose the Leica for the wider lense, the image stabilization and, yes, the prestige of the brand.
Like any camera this size, or any size for that matter, the brighter the conditions, the better the shot. The Leica C Lux takes fantastic shots in sunlight and I haven't been displeased with shots captured with the flash or in lower light. It's a great looking little camera, and I've really enjoyed being able to slip it in my pocket. My ultimate decision was that I could have a larger camera that takes amazing pictures, but I'd never get the chance without the camera with me, or a great little camera that get very good shots, but gets them everytime because it is always with me.
For brand snobs, this is certainly the camera to get. It is quite a head turner among folks who know the brand and I am often presented with the question of "what kind of camera is that" when I whip it out. That's either a turn on or a turnoff. I'd recommend choosing the camera for its wide lense, motion control and native ability to shoot in 16:9.
Flexible features, excellent quality........2006-08-27
The Leica C-LUX 1 is a little pricey, but you get an excellent, solid camera, easy to use right out of the box. I'm 70 years old and was dead set against getting a digital camera ("you can't teach an old dog to do new tricks" school of thought) But this camera sold itself. I use a photoelectric (no cord) slave flash if I need more flash, although the on-camera flash seems adequate for a small room. The manual is easy to follow for starting to take pictures, And there is further instruction for the great variety of applications this camera is able to perform. I have the black one, although there is a silver body available. I bought the "kit" which included an extra rechargable battery and a very nice leather case for under $70.00. Picture quality is outstanding due to the incredible quality of the Leica lens and good programmed exposure and distance controls. At my age, I think this is probably a "lifetime" purchase, but who needs more for the next 50 years?
Tiny Leica Performer.......2006-08-01
I bought this camera to augment my Nikon D-200, (which I love), although it is too big to tote around casually. But the Leica c lux is almost too small! It is smaller than it looks in the pictures, about the sixe of my cell phone, but packs a punch. The shutter is slower and takes some getting used to, but it catches inages with superb clarity and is very easy to use and carry. I passed on the $70 Leica case and opted for one by SONY for $22, and I carry it on my belt like a phone. I wore it while playing golf this morning and came back with sixty images. The battery lasts a long time, maybe 4 hours, and the camera quickly darts back and forth between modes. As for whether the Panasonic is just as good, sorry. The build quality of the Leica is far above the Panasonic version, and it is a real gem to look at and handle. It has re-energized my love of photography, and I will continue to carry it at all times to capture the kinds of pictures that i used to miss.

Tele Vue Barlows: "An Optically Perfect Window" Properly designed Barlows do wonderful things. First, they amplify power while retaining the eyepiece's eye-relief. Second, they slow the telescope's f/#, which improves eyepiece sharpness. Third, the designer can introduce compensations for eyepiece aberrations. Tele Vue's 1 1/4" 2x and 3x Barlows were envisioned as magnification windows. Multi-coated high index glasses assure optimum aberration correction, exceptional contrast and virtually no light loss. Tele Vue Barlows achieve their design goals even when tested by the fastest scopes. The Tele Vue design approach includes mechanical conveniences. The Barlows are parfocal with Tele Vue eyepieces. The 3X Barlow is threaded for 1 1/4" filters.
