Add Filters to Canon, Fuji, or Olympus Cameras with a Lensmate Adapter

by Ian Lim on June 28, 2012 � 0 comments in Digital Cameras and Gear, News In 2002 I purchased a Canon G2, considered at the time to be one of the best prosumer cameras around. At the time the camera cost me around $1200AU, and as an optional extra, Canon offered a lens surround which would allow you to run filters on it. �Not only was it expensive, but it was made from cheap �black plastic that didn?t even match the champagne camera. After much research I found Lensmate, a small niche company that was making CNC machined aluminum versions that not only matched the colour, but looked a heck of a lot classier. Well I?m glad to say that Lensmate is still in business. �Currently they support accessories for the �Canon G1X, �SX series,�latest�G...

Home Cellulite Smoother

by Edwin - on June 28th, 2012 I don?t know about you, but the general rule of thumb is this ? ladies seem to take more pride in their physical looks than us men. We?re more utilitarian, wearing whatever we can grab at the moment before heading out for a social event without thinking too much about whether our turtleneck and jeans are suitable or not. The ladies? They?ve practically got an entire thesis down pat on what to wear for a particular event. Well, one thing?s for sure ? they are also more concerned about the scourge known as cellulite, especially around the thigh area. This is where the $1,500 Home Cellulite Smoother comes into play, although I am not quite sure whether it is worth your time (and especially money) in checking it...
