I just use the little extensions that came with all of my switch easy cases. I have been listening to the JH-13s straight from the iPhone for my commute and I have been happy. I also connected the Slim to it and for the 20-30 minutes I used it noted no interference when surfing etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got to use my Sprint 4G out in freaking Queens today. Quite fast, I just wish they would get it into Manhattan. 3G is fast but not as fast as usual on the iPhone. Upload is still screwed up.

The only problem I am having is the upload speeds but that seems to be affecting a lot of people. DL and voice are working as intended here in NY.

Happy Birthday Mike.

Happy Birthday Birgir.

Spent some time at the River hoping to get some shots of the fireworks with the City in the background. Unfortunately they decided to shoot them off on the Hudson in upstate New York so I did not have the right lens. I wanted to use the 35 f1.4L but ended up using the 24-70 f2.8L.

My 3G upload speeds are seriously slow today. I am fairly happy with the DL numbers from a phone.

Mine is about normal for a weekend.

Length is great. Comparing this one to the standard Op/tech around the neck in carrying the 24-70 in the pics I have to say that shoulder carry is so much better/more comfortable. Yes it is the R3. In comparing them in the store the R3 seems much more solid. I assume as a solid piece there are less pieces to come apart so that is good. The R3 comes with the RS-5.

Some pics of it in action. Not quite the same as in person but I guess not everyone has a B&H in the neighborhood.

Yeah I did the research on Black Rapid failures as well. The only one that I have seen that I do not see fixes for on the current model is a strap that just pulls through up by the shoulder pad. The other issues that I see in historic posts have all prompted updates in the current model. The Black Rapid is also dramatically more comfortable than the Op/Tech that I have. The Op/Tech is still very comfortable but wearing it like Jacob is saying would be my preferred method and I do not see the safety built into that strap that the Black Rapid has.

The Black Rapid is great. Kind of gives you a comfortable carry strap with a small bag built in.

Backyard critters are fun.

A couple of architecturals from this morning's walk.

All of Gehry's buildings are poorly designed and leak badly. We were involved with that disaster at MIT that he is getting sued for now. Architect's as a whole seem to be completely without the most basic levels of common sense, aesthetics rule all. Lens looks to quite capable. I would have thought that a 24mm on a non-ff would be closer you general vision than a 50mm on a non-ff.

Tonight's walk to the Subway.

Colin's Incredible is useless in the sunlight and I thought it was the same screen technology. I carry a .45 because a 9mm just makes people mad, a .45 ends the discussion.

If you have to compensate for something with an oversized, completely useless in the sunlight screen, then more power to you.

Add that to the fact that the screen looks washed out and shitty in their own marketing.

From the evening walk. Got a little bored with the subjects so played around in Aperture.

Stopped to watch some street performers during lunch today. Interesting music for a Times Square corner.

Very nice Peter. I always really enjoy nature shots as I get to see so little of the stuff myself. The sunburst is especially cool.

I got the 35 f1.4L and the 100 f2.8L II Macro. I like the strap a lot so far. This with the Retrospective has made about the perfect daily carry set up for me. I am kind of worried about getting annoyed unscrewing the mount every time I want to use the tripod.

Finally made my prime lens shopping trip to B&H. Picked up a couple of L series primes and a Blackrapid RS-5 strap. I really need to move father away from B&H.
