Check the price on Amazon...
Wow - $19 at Amazon.com (of course it's unavailable at Amazon.ca)

Classic case of seeing an advertisement, and immediately jumping to the conclusion that because they say it's a good price, then it must be so... Thanks for the tip...

The Ultra II is just slightly slower I think, depending on what you shoot this may or not be important to you...
I have both Ultra II's and Extreme III's... Never noticed much difference, but then I don't do a lot of "machine-gun" photography...

As I learn more about the camera, and photography in general, my shooting rate has slowed a bit, as I tend to think more about the shots I'm taking... Quantity is down, but I think quality is starting to creep up...

FYI - Canadian Members...

The 4G Sandisk SDHC Ultra II (how does that compare to an Extreme III?) is on sale until the 22nd at Staples for $50 (reg price $107)

Not sure if it'll matter much to most, but Apple / Adobe users might be interested : 64bit version of CS4 will be Windows only...

That's a problem that will probably cure itself very soon...

We even tested Vista on the Macs using Apple’s platform-switching Boot Camp software—and found that both Apple computers ran Vista faster than our PCs did.

I have one 62mm and one 67mm adapter Ring that I don't need. (decided it was easier to carry step up rings to use my ND Grads...)

I'll send them to you for $10 each plus shipping (From Canada)

(And while I'm at it - No Cokin dealers around here - is there a case to hold the 4 X 6 filters?)

Yeah - wasn't sure about taxes and other charges... Oh, well...

I've been struggling with the same problem for a while, and the 438 leveler, while adding to an already heavy setup, looks like a good solution. I have an old 055 with a 168 ball head, and while getting the camera level for a single shot couldn't be easier, getting it so that it rotates on a level plane is another animal entirely...

Have you seen : http://tinyurl.com/yuaveg

It's more expensive than the 438, and not nearly as quick to use, but I have a friend with a shop full of metal-working tools, and the basic idea looks simple enough to turn it into a D.I.Y. kind of project...

Unilocker : I don't know what the exchange rate is, but There's a 438 on eBay for US$73.00...

Yeah, but it still bugs me when my brother looks at my photos and says "Wow, you must have a really good camera..."
