I’m sorry I’ve gone dark for so long! \u00a0I have been healing up and working hard in cardiac rehab, and it’s going well! \u00a0So thanks for your continued prayers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now down to business! \u00a0Top; I recently pick-up a SmallRig Mini LED light. \u00a0This little light is a perfect companion for your Close-up work. \u00a0At only $39. it is powerful enough to add just the little extra light to a \u00a0wonderful macro shot. \u00a0It comes with some really useful magnetic accessories and it is very useful!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a ratchet screwdriver and bit set is of incredible quality and for a tiny price! \u00a0The bits are magnetic and hold in fast and secure to the bolds and screws. \u00a0 It is perfect for tightening down L brackets!<\/p>\n

This is one of the best lens cleaning solutions out there and Jack was kind enough to send me three bottles!!! \u00a0That is a lifetime supply at any age, at my ripe old age, I will have to leave two in my will for someone!<\/p>\n

Boy do I have great friends and brothers! \u00a0A year or so ago Jack Graham gave me one of these wonderful SmallRig tools and I can never remember to move it between camera bags….and then Carl Turner sent me one last week! \u00a0Now, thank you Carl,\u00a0 I can always have one of\u00a0 these great tools with me! \u00a0You can get yours on, you guessed it, \u00a0Amazon!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another very thoughtful gift from Jack, this Synthetic Grease is perfect for the threads of your tripod legs, thanks Jack, thoughtful and very good stuff, yep amazon!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Newer & SmallRig both are making batteries for Fujifilm’s latest cameras and these can be charged with a regular USB-C. \u00a0I’ve only had mine for a short time and I can’t say how they will do, but I think they have real potential, I will be sure to let you know!\u00a0 Big surprise: Amazon!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
