User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A good buy
Bought this to use with my D90. I also have a wireless, but sometime it does not work. This wired remote, however, never failed me. It is compact and light and reasonably price. It works perfectly with my D90.

5 Stars Love that Nikon Product!
The product was perfect for my needs. Received exactly what mentioned on the product description. Excellent service and delivery, really deserves a 5-STAR rating. Keep up the good works.

4 Stars Nikon Remote Release Cord MCDC2
Great remote for Nikon D5000. Better than the wireless version.

Adorama Remote Release Cord for the Nikon D90/D5000 Digital SLR Cameras, 3 Feet Long (MC-DC2)

5 Stars Bought it for my D90
Fantastic shutter release for Long exposure! I use it with my Nikon D90. Not much to say, but works as it should.

5 Stars Great product
Great item for taking pictures. I took some excellent delayed shutter photos with my D90 and this. I couldn’t have done it without this, but I should point out that I also couldn’t have done without my D90 either. This shutter release is simple to use in every way and light to carry. I have even used it for some covert pictures that I wanted to take when I didn’t want people to see me handling my camera.

Overall, great product, worth the money and really the best way to take really delayed shuttered pictures. Stop reading now and buy it!

…please don’t tell me you’re still reading this, if so, start over at the beginning.

Zeikos ZE LCH1 Lens Cap Keeper

Zeikos ZE LCH1 Lens Cap Keeper




The perfect way to keep track of your lens caps. A small button tapes onto the front of your lens cap and the elastic loop goes around the barrell of your lens so that your lens cap always remains attached, hanging from the lens. Never lose a lens cap again!

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Lens cap strap [With modification}
Works a promised with one exception:

Strap [just a stretchy cord] is too short for a lens longer than a standard lens.

I bought it for my NIKON D90 with 18-105 lens …. worked fine for a while but broke the cord after a month of use.

If the cord were longer I’m sure it would not have broken!

Easy fix …….. I replaced the ‘cord’ with a much longer 1/8″ black ribbon from my wife sewing supplies.

Can remove the metal clip at the ‘lens barrel’ area with needle nose pliers and the ‘dot’ decal comes off easy

on the ‘cap end’ so you can rethread any length cord you want. Just make knots at the cap end and the lens end so

the keeper is secured. Works great ……. no tension on the keeper!

Then again just buy another “Keeper” they are so cheap!

4 Stars So far so good
I purchased two one for a 58mm lenses and one for 77mm lense I was afraid that it breaks when i put it to the bigger lenses so i did with care trying not to open it to much to get inside, also I cleaned the surface with cleaning clothes trying to avoid the loss of sticking.

And so far none of the defectives or quality issues of other reviews have happened, remains one piece, remains attached to the cap keeper.

the cap keeper is cheap, but i leave the cap dangle with no extra care, i put and remove the cap often on my 77mm lenses because i have not buy the protection filter and it remains on good shape, no signs of warning.

I recommend the product, but i took the other reviews in mind on “my instalation instructions”

1 Star Do Not Buy
I received this lens cap keeper as part of a package when I bought my digital SLR. I have been using it for a month and a half (once a week or so), and today I looked down while taking pictures and my lens cap was gone! There was just an empty lens cap keeper dangling from my lens. I do NOT recommend this product. I have emailed the manufacturer to see if they’ll replace my Canon lens cap. I don’t want another one of their lens cap keepers because they don’t do what they’re supposed to do.

2 Stars Lens Keeper that may not keep
On day 2 the disc you place on the lens cap separated and the strap hung loose with half the disc on the end; the other half still on the lens cap. The disc is made from 2 discrete halves. I superglued both halves together and this had held. With this huge exception strap is fine. .

4 Stars Extra Glue
After reading about the lens cap not sticking to the cap keeper. I decided to use some black 3M Weather Strip Adhesive to help things out. So far it has worked great

Lowepro Cirrus TLZ 15 Holster Style Case For Digital SLR and Short Zoom Lens Black

Lowepro Cirrus TLZ 15 Holster Style Case For Digital SLR and Short Zoom Lens Black




Marketing description is not available.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Nice snug, easily portable holster style case for compact DSLR
This is a very convenient bag for compact DSLRs. It like the holster style fit. I use it for an Olympus E420, which is a bit smaller than typical DSLRs. As a result, I can actually fit a standard zoom (Olympus 14-54mm, which is actually a bit larger than the standard kit zooms like Canon 18-55) along with the 25mm pancake prime lens. I inserted a padded divider so that the lenses aren’t banging into each other. The pockets provide room for a lens cloth, lens pen/brush, extra card, and extra battery.

I would have given it five stars except for a couple shortcomings compared to another similarly sized and priced Lowepro bag I bought several years ago:

- The fabric quality seems a bit cheaper.

- I wish there were more pockets and that they were more spacious, as on the other Lowepro bag I mentioned. I think this could have been done without changing the dimensions of the main compartment and without much additional cost. On the other bag I mentioned, there are pockets on all sides of the exterior. In addition, the exterior pockets of the other bag were a stretchy neoprene, which is more useful than the stiff fabric of the single exterior pocket on this one. I know I’m nitpicking but I’m just a bit disappointed since these seem like easy fixes and the other bag was made by the same company after all.

5 Stars Snug fit for D90 w/ 18-105mm lens
Perfect snug fit for my Nikon D90 with 18-105mm lens. I generally prefer to let the shoulder strap hang out of the bag.

There are two storage ‘compartments’ – one on the inside top cover, with a flap, other on the back, without a flap.

4 Stars Nikon D3000 kit
Nice case, nice quality, but space only for camera and lens nothing more. I have Nikon D3000 + lens 18-55 Kit for this set case good.

4 Stars Good Case
I got this case for my Nikon D3000 and so far it has served me pretty well. the case isn’t too thick so its not amazing protection but its definitely good protection. the camera also fits a bit strangely in the case but it still works fine. Overall its nice and compact and I can usually fit it in my backpack with other stuff. Overall, I really like it.

5 Stars Really Nice Camera Holster!!!!
This camera holster has a cushioned interior to keep my camera and lens secured, a small pocket inside for a memory card, long strap so I can loop it over by body with a baby bijorn or loop it through my stoller, and it fits inside my small diaper bag and large satchel shoulder bag.

An adjustable, BioCurve non-slip shoulder strap, and an EasyGrip carrying handle provide convenient carrying options for the Explorer 1.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars perfect
My wife wanted something smaller for her Nikon D70 and an extra 70-300 lens. This worked well with room for extra cards and filters. Fit the bill.

3 Stars very good quality, D5000 does not fit
this bag is very good, but unfortunately does not fit Nikon D5000 because of the built-in flash. I tried all the positions and the camera must be forced to fit the bag and the bag is deformed a bit.

However, other SLRs like Pentax K100 or zoom point and shoot cameras will perfectly fit.

5 Stars Nice Camera Bag
Nice construction. I use it for my Nikon D40. Holds charger unit and a couple filters. Don’t expect room for another lens.

4 Stars The Explorer 2 (Tamrac 5502) is roomier and costs only $5 more
I’ve been using an Explorer 1 to carry a Nikon D40x+lens, two extra lenses, and a flash. Everything “kind of” fits, but the bag’s overstuffed, so the camera sticks up above the zipper. The bag closes, but bulges, with the LCD pressed against the top flap. A Nikon D90 is just a teeny bit taller & wider, so it sticks up even more… too much more for my peace of mind.

The Explorer 2 is just a little bigger in all dimensions than the Explorer 1… big enough to comfortably hold all the same equipment for the D90, and the camera does not protrude. The “2″ also comes with a pair of horizontal dividers to let you stack things on top of each other, on either side of the camera. Getting to a lower lens might be a little challenging, and my gear doesn’t need these; but they could be useful for some people.

The Explorer 2 is only $5 more than the Explorer 1, and I wish I’d gotten it in the first place, only because it’s roomier. The construction and extra pockets are the same for both bags: excellent workmanship, good protection, and places for lots of little things.

5 Stars Great starter bag
This bag is great. It’s sturdy, protects our camera well, has lots of pockets for storage of extras, and is easy to carry and lightweight. It is small, though, which is perfect for us. We just have the camera body and one lens (a Canon Rebel XS with the kit lens – 18-55mm). The camera fits snugly in the bag with the lens attached, and the case would probably fit one more lens and a flash. Right now, we use the extra space in the bag to fit our point-and-shoot, which is pretty handy. We also have our memory cards, battery pack, and USB cords for the camera stored in the front pocket. If you’ve got any more than just the basics, though, you’ll want a bigger bag. I suggest going to the Tamrac website, where they have all the specs on all their bags, plus diagrams with about how much each bag will fit. We did that, and ended up with the perfect bag for what we need!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Beyond Perfection
I purchased this 50mm f/1.8 prime lens when I bought my Nikon D90 DSLR. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, given that you “zoom with your feet” so to get the photo you want, you physically move to the spot necessary to frame the shot as desired. I absolutely adore this lens. Lightweight, small, produces precise, crisp photos and lovely bokeh. My family traveled across 4 countries in 3 weeks this summer and I brought the Nikon D90, the kit lens that came with the camera, and this lens. I wound up using the 50mm f/1.8 almost every day! I switched to the other lens only to take photos of large buildings that were fairly close to me for example (in other words, using the 50mm, I wouldn’t be able to get the entire building in the frame). My subjects include our garden, our kids, our dog, architecture, fabric. The Sony D90 with this lens captures indoor subjects with natural light unbelievably well. Good luck with this lens, you will be thrilled with it!

4 Stars 50mm 1.8D Nikkor AF
My favorite lens its picture quality and compact size.

In a DX camera you will be looking into a 75mm 1.8; You couldn’t find a better portrait lens!!

Build quality is below average. The lens barrel feels plasticky and flimsy – the “Made in China” tag seems to explain all.

Fortunately the picture quality seems pretty good.

At this price – this is a steal!!

5 Stars The Best Value Lens You Can Buy
There are no words to describe how much better my pictures got after using this lens

If you’re an amateur, and need a lens to focus on the subject and leave the rest of the photo slightly out of focus….you need this lens

the depth of field is great, low light shots are great, and for around 120 bucks, what’s not to love??

4 Stars Great lens for day to day usage
We were looking for a lens that would allow day to day pics with good quality. We bought this based one of our friends loving it. It does take getting used to (for the amateur like me) when you come from a lens that allows zooming. But the pics are great. We used it at a baptism and you get amazing shots. We use it on our D70s. The lens is small, light and perfect for day to day usages. I would recommend this lens as it is an excellent lens for the money it costs.

5 Stars Can’t get anything better
I would suggest that this is a must lens for everyone using an SLR camera. It is great for indoors as well as outdoors. Be ready to walk a lot with this lens because it does not have a zoom. f/1.8 gives a great depth of field as well as superior speed. I won’t suggest this if you do a lot of indoor photography and you have a APS-C sensor camera (for example D300,D-90,D-80,D-60 etc) because 50mm sometimes is too much zoom for indoor spaces.

To conclude: If you are interested in buying this lens… Do it right now.
