For my fellow photographers:
I always come across cool stuff so why not share it with the world! These are my own personal reviews/opinions about companies or individuals that I like. I am no way a PAID sponsor for any of these products or companies. On the other hand…if you have a product or company you’d like me to promote, then woo-hoo!! Bring it on. I’d love to promote your stuff. As long as it’s not naked or x-rated, or animal rated involving both (hey I have standards) then hit me up! Photography equipment is not only addictive, it’s expensive :o~
CAMERA & LENS REVIEWS: The Digital Picture. www.the-digital-picture.com
Packed full of invaluable information on digital SLR’s, lenses, and more. Whether I’m renting equipment or investing in a purchase of a new lens I always turn to this site to read the reviews. I love the no nonsense approach, along with the many product photos and comparisons.
CAMERA LENS RENTAL: Camera Lens Rentals.com
I love these guys. There are always super cool about extending my rentals at the last minute when I need it. They also send out emails with valuable rental coupons that are great to take advantage of. I’ve used a few other companies, but so far I think these guys give you the best bang for your buck!
