color card is goooooooooood!
By the customer
What to say about Gretag Macbeth? They rock the photography world, and color management.Good quality, it comes with good packaging so that you can travel with the device without messing up the color panels. The reflective quality is excellent. The various levels of grey make it really easy to use with C1Pro, and Photoshop. If you're a pro photographer you need this. It also comes with some really cool tips and tricks, and has great info printed on the card back.

Macbeth tablet extremely useful
By Robert F. Dvorak
I use the Gretag Macbeth Color Checker as a color calibration aid when taking photographs. I also use it to check color calibration on my HP scanner. It is an extremely high quality color standard, featuring a realistic range of colors and has proven to be very useful!

Why so expensive?
By Newlpost
When you see it it is self evident that this is not some mass printed card.There is a reality we live with. Right now digital cameras can take in far greater color information than our monitors can show us. This is like "play" in a steering mechanism. You don't know exactly what that setting means. Somewhere between viewing and printing ($$$) you need to get a grip on actuality.Simply getting red right might badly maul everything else. But having a color card attuned to 24 natural colors (those are not just random colors) gives an opportunity to tune your system to reality.In a slightly untuned system the card will show WRONG colors. So shoot the card in any serious work. Cheap insurance.

Here is what I wrote about the 37mm +2.5 diopter
By Glynn Clapsaddle
Century Optics lenses are beyond compare-Every time that I use a Century Optics lens, the result is always staggering. Their lenses are by far the best prosumer lenses on the market, and I can not wait until I can add their trademark fisheye to my arsenal. This close-up filter/lens is great for high resolution shooting of very small and details subjects. With the diopter on my camera, I can almost touch the subject and still be in focus. It has allowed me to see the intricate details of carpet threads and the fascinating textures of flower pollen. A top-notch product from a top-notch manufacturer. You can not go wrong by purchasing any Century Optics product, and this item will not disappoint.

Unbelievably sharp lens.
By G. Clark
If you're looking at this lens, you're ready to spend some serious dollars. Is it worth it? Short answer, yes, but I'll elaborate.I've shot with a variety of Nikon and Canon lenses for about 25 years. The 300 f/2.8L IS is without a doubt the sharpest lens I've ever had, and it is unbelievably consistent across every aperture. With the 1.4X Canon extender - other its becoming an f/4 lens - I could not see any appreciable change in its performance. Unbelievable.I got my introduction to image stabilization on the 70-200 f/2.8L IS, and it is even more useful on the 300. I handheld consistently crisp shots at 1/60 and sometimes at 1/30. With my old Nikon 300 mm, anything below 1/250 was out of the question and 1/500 was a good idea. The whirring of the IS is a bit louder on the 300 than the 70-200.When shooting action in AI Servo mode, the autofocus was as fast as on my shorter prime lenses.In some forums, people swear by third party long lenses that they say produce as good an image at less than half the cost. All I can say is that their experience probably reflects the limitations of their skills rather than the comparability of the lenses.With the 1.4X extender and my 1D Mark IIN's 1.3X FOVCF, this becomes a 546 mm lens. On a 1.6X FOVCF camera it's a whopping 672 mm.Here are some other Canon alternatives and why you might want to go with them instead of the 300 f/2.8L IS:- Canon 300 f/4L IS - less than half the price; it is lighter and has a built-in lens hood that doesn't require assembly; you lose a stop, and while a very sharp lens, not in same class at the f/2.8. good choice if you don't have the money for the f/2.8 or want to spread it among other lenses.- Canon 400 f/2.8L IS - a longer reach without losing a stop but the price and weight increase significantly; not really hand-holdable; lens of choice for outdoor sports action.- Canon 500 f/4L IS - if you want to shoot birds, you'll need the extra reach. It's cheaper than the 400 2.8 but a couple thousand more than the 300. Sharpness is comparable to the 300.- Zoom lenses (70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS; 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS) Cheaper, lighter and more flexible but a serious compromise on image quality vs. 300 f/2.8L IS.Best argument against the 300 f/2.8L is that you won't shoot often enough at that focal length or you want to buy more lenses for the money.I'm saving my pennies now to add the 500 f/4L IS for bird and other wildlife distance shooting. It will take a few years.

Simply the BEST!!
By Movie Fan
If you're considering this lens then you must already have, or can get the means in which to pay for it. With that being said... GET IT!! I waited and am kicking myself for doing so. Sure the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L series I bought at the time is still a GREAT lens, I just wished I'd have had this for the last 3 months. Esp if you add a 2x canon tele-converter. or if you have one of the camera's with the cropped sensors. I can tell you that my 5D loves it. The pictures as stated before are tack sharp and when you crop for that KILLER shot whooo baby. If you have any doubt, I would suggest trying to rent one first, but I tell you..... if you do rent one, you will end up buying one. It is simply that good.

an excellent lens
By Abdulrahman
This lens is very fast, it can focus very rapidly and follow accurately flying birds, this is the main reason I bought this lens. It excels in every respect, it can be hand held, very sharp even when the aperture is wide open, image stabilization is excellent and it is very fast lens, fast focusing. It can be used to photograph butterflies, dragonflies as I tested it on my 1.6 crop factor camera and found that it can photograph a 15 by 10cm rectangle, thus I can say that it has a maximum magnification of 1:6.7.This is an expensive lens, so if you think you will use it only occasionally, then I advice you not to buy it, otherwise it worth the price.

Absolutely the best!
By Jodi Oli
I fought for years with a dinky handheld model that smelled like it was going to catch on fire every time I used it.Well, after getting my Kitchenaid, I feel like I've gone to mixer heaven.Nothing slows it down, not even bread dough. And the color -- Komen Pink -- is so delightful that I have repainted my kitchen to go with my mixer (yeah, I know...but I've done sillier things and my kitchen is so charming now that I don't even mind cooking).

If you're thinking about buying this mixer, GO FOR IT!
By GuilderlandLady
I LOVE this mixer. All I had to do to set it up was plug it in. It's simple to change between mixing tools (just twist and pull to remove, twist and push to attach), and the results are fabulous. The instruction manual looks large, but that's just because it's in 3 languages and contains great recipes so you can get started right away. I've never written a review for something I purchased online before, but this product is certainly worth it. I have wanted this mixer for years and I finally got it because of the wonderful price and fast, not to mention FREE, shipping that Amazon.com offers.

Best Valentine's Ever
By J. York
I purchased this for my wife who has RA and lots of trouble using her hands, so i got the mixer for her because she loves to cook. Now she makes bisquits and dumplings with ease. It is a great mixer. delivery was very quick when UPS brought it my wife could not lift the box so the driver brought it into the house for her which was very helpful to her. Would gladly buy KitchenAid brand again. Amazon was super!!! fast shipping even when i used the super saver option
