!$ Canon PIXMA MP160 All In One Photo Printer Gray



Recently purchased this multi-purpose printer. Actually was a purchase to replace in-kind

printer which experienced mechanical damage. Only negative aspect of the original MP-160 was, in my opinion, the ink cartridge replacement costs. I find Canon cartride replacements, very expensive. Not much experience, with printer ink, but found sources to buy remanufactured cartridges and ultimately, a re-fill mail center, whcih reduced the ink costs in half.



The original MP-160 was destroyed by an pen falling into the paper feed, and unaware ot this incident, I attempted to operate the unit and caused mechanical damage. I ordered an

exact replacement (used) and am quite satisfied with my purchase. My printing requirements are small and am not certain what the reliability and efficiency of this particular printer would be under heavy service; but as an average consumer, I could recommend this unit to all.

-- Pentax DA 40mm f 2.8 Ultra Compact Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras



I had already been using the Pentax SMC DA* Series 50-135mm f/2.8 ED IF SDM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Pentax and Digital SLR Cameras and Pentax SMC DA* Series 16-50mm f/2.8 ED AL IF SDM Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Pentax Digital SLR Cameras lenses regularly when I purchased the DA 40. I had a little bit of experience with the FA 50, but didn't really like it much, due to lack of contrast. I thought there was no way that I would become a "prime shooter."



Well, this lens changed that. It is tiny, easy to handle hold, even with one hand, incredibly sharp. Even though it is not very long, it can be used as a portrait lens. It has great edge to edge sharpness and amazing micro contrast. Build is very sturdy.



The two quibbles I have with this lens are that it only goes to f2.8 and that the screw on lens cap could be easily lost. I have put away my screw on cap and purchased a Adorama 30.5mm Plastic Snap-On Lens Capto replace it.



This is the perfect walk-around lens to turn you from a zoom shooter into a prime shooter!

#@: Sigma 24 60mm f 2.8 EX DG IF Aspherical Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras



I have owned this lens for several years and have shot 1000s of photos with it. I really wanted the Canon 24-70mm L lens, but the price was out of the question for me. I ultimately selected this lens because I had read good reviews and I was willing to trade 10mm of focal length for a more compact size, as this was to be my walk around lens. It does weigh more than my Rebel XT, but that doesn't bother me, as it is smaller than the other lenses in its class (Canon & Sigma 24-70mm 2.8, Tamron 28-70 2.8). I have worked with the Canon 24-70mm L, and the Sigma 24-60mm's image quality is remarkably close, if not equal, for a third party lens that costs much less. The autofocus speed is where the real difference occurs, but if you don't work in low light or need a lot of speed, it shouldn't be a problem. You can shoot almost anything with this versatile lens and it will look good (I've shot mostly still life and outdoors), but I think it's really well suited to portraits. If I'm taking pictures at a gathering with this lens, my people pictures always blow everyone else's away. I would reccomend this lens to anyone who wants L quality on a budget and isn't concerned with the slower AF. You won't be disappointed.

Native American Meditations

Native American Meditations Review



This CD of meditations is so inspirational, moving and beautiful to listen to. Some of them moved me to tears. If ever you need to be grounded, or reminded of what matters in life, listen to this CD. If your beliefs are in line with native beliefs, this CD will be very comforting to you. You will not be disappointed!




Native American Meditations Overview


The words of Black Elk, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Tecumseh, Chief Joseph and many other historical and contemporary Native American teachers, leaders, writers and holy people as spoken by descendents and family relations.

Completely performed and recorded in the sacred Black Hills by Lakota, Navajo, Cherokee, Oglala, Chumash and other Native Americans, these profound meditations with contemplative tribal music will help you to connect to Mother Earth and your two-legged, four-legged, winged and finned brothers and sisters.

A portion of the proceeds from this recording will be donated to Pathways to Spirit - an all volunteer, non-profit organization responding to emergency conditions in the Standing Rock, Cheyenne River and Pine Ridge reservations by providing food, propane, car repairs, school supplies, mobile homes and more.
