Wide angle alternatives, DX & FX

add a http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/674566-REG/Kenko_PRO3001_4XDGXN_Teleplus_PRO_300_DG.html
for an effective 14-22mm/4 combination on an FX camera.

Actually the Kenko TC appears to be a way to mount any DX lens on a FX camera and have decent performance out of the combination.

You get a 1.4x boost and a 1 stop loss on aperture.

Android, the better one…

I have a hard time to accept the iOS limitations;

- I’d love to have more computing power and a fair amount of memory though (16GB is just bare minimum).
Computing power is rumored to be available in Febryary; quad core processors. Now, whether that actually has me BUY one is another big “Q” – time will tell.
