Nikon WC-E63 Wide-Angle Converter Lens for Nikon 4300 & 4500 Digital Cameras Review

Nikon WC-E63 Wide-Angle Converter Lens for Nikon 4300 and 4500 Digital Cameras

A great lens at a reasonable price. I often use the Wide Angle Lens for panoramic shots and sometimes for indoor use. Great for scenic shots such as mountains or valleys, and also for interiors, real estate, etc.
When used indoors, an external flash or lighting is recommended. The lens partially obscures the built-in flash. And as with any wide angle, there is less light passing through the lens to the "film."

One of the most frustrating problems facing any digital photographer is the inability to fit an entire group of people or breathtaking landscape scene in the picture. While you can't remove the standard Coolpix lens and replace it as you can on an interchangeable lens SLR camera, you can quickly and easily attach this accessory wide-angle lens onto the camera's built-in lens to get the results you want.The Nikon WC-E63 converter increases the wide-angle view of your lens by a magnification of 0.63x to offer enhanced coverage equivalent to that of a 24mm lens on a 35mm SLR. Both autofocus and auto-exposure functions are retained. In addition, it accepts 72mm filters thereby offering even more creative options.Matching the optical design of this accessory lens to their camera's prime lens, resulted in Nikon's creating the highest quality wide-angle lens attachment possible for the Nikon Coolpix 775, 995, 990, 950, 910, 900, 900s, 800, 880, 885, 4300 and 4500 cameras.Please note that the WC-E63 directly attaches onto the 28mm filter threads of the Nikon Coolpix 4500, 995, 990, 950, 910, 900, 900s, and 800 cameras but requires the Nikon UR-E4 Adapter (not included) for the Nikon Coolpix 4300 and 885 cameras and requires the Nikon UR-E2 Adapter (not included) for the Nikon Coolpix 880 and requires the Nikon UR-E3 Adapter (not included) for Nikon Coolpix 775.

Nikon EH-5A AC Adapter for Nikon D40, D40x, D60, D80, D700 & D300 Digital SLR Cameras Review

I bought this adapter because I wanted to take photos with my Nikon D70s for use as time lapse movies, and because the battery won't hold out over a whole day for this purpose. Using gphoto2, I hooked my camera up to an Ubuntu box via USB, and wrote a bash script to take a picture every 60 seconds, starting at 6am. This adapter allowed the camera to be powered all day long from 6am to 6pm without interruption.
One important thing to note, is that although the photo shows only the power brick and the cord with the special Nikon camera power plug on it, this product DOES come with another cord that attaches the power brick to the wall.
I would have given this 5 stars, but I think the pricing is outrageous. The only part of this product that is "special" is the plug that fits into the camera. The rest (power brick, power cord) is just generic, and probably very cheap to produce. However, for powering your Nikon DSLR camera, there doesn't seem to be any alternative.

Nikon MH-23 Quick Charger for EN-EL9 Li-ion Battery Review

Nikon MH-23 Quick Charger for EN-EL9 Li-ion Battery

This is the standard charger that Nikon sells for use with the D40's EN-EL9 battery. The title incorrectly shows it is for charging the EN-EL5. That battery will NOT work with this charger -- the contacts won't line up.
If you do need it for the EN-EL9, it works very well. I'd appreciate a shorter power cord for travel use, but it is detachable so you can switch it out.

NIKON ES-1 52MM SLIDE COPYING ADAPT.BOX Review

NIKON ES-1 52MM SLIDE COPYING ADAPT.BOX
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The good thing about this product is that Nikon does not include any cheap glass in the adapter. ES-1 has no optical elements at all! Thus the quality of your reproduction depends on the quality of your macro lens, and of the camera. So why does an empty tube cost $49 and not $10 as it should? I know, I know, the "N" is $10, the 'i' is $10 and the "kon" is also $10. And we still do have issues with this device:
1) Despite its high price, the product has a significant deficiency forcing you to do even more shopping: If used with a customary 50/60mm macro lens, it projects the 35mm slide on a full frame 35mm area. However, the majority of DSLR's support support the smaller sensor size, often called APS or DX. In order to use this adapter with a 'DX size' DSLR, such as Nikon D300, D80, Canon 40D or a Pentax K20, you will have to use an additional 20mm/30mm long 52mm diameter extension ring. This might be the old K5 ring by Nikon. I use the K4 and K5 ring in tandem. Difficult to find, a hassle and more cost to say the least. Nikon should have included such rings in the first place.
But wait, there is more!
2) You might also need a step-down ring, because most lenses will have a filter diameter larger than 52mm used by ES-1. I need for example a 62-52mm step-down ring, do not confuse it with the much more common step-up rings 52mm-62mm!!
3) Another pain with the ES-1 are the two harsh metal springs depressing the slide to the device, what prevents its use with uncut film, and may even damage your slide. This is really a big, major, crying out loud issue with this device: How in heaven shall we copy uncut film? The solution would be so easy, if these springs would be made of a soft teflon, and placed horizontally rather than vertically. But Nikon is (in)famous for being both "the only game in town," and delivering things not well thought through. The uncut film ordeal with the SA30 roll film adapter in their LS4000 and LS5000 scanners comes to mind.
4) Another great deficit of this device is lack of any position fixing mechanism. The front element of ES-1 shifts for "zoom" and rotates freely. And this causes that after each change of a slide its position will slightly change. The result are crooked photographs. To prevent this to happen I use... a painters blue tape(!!) holding the front ring, once adjusted into position. How embarrassing! This reminds me of the (in)famous "credit card and a paper clip fix" in the $400 SF200 Nikon slide adapter needed to prevent jams! Nikon team "designs" again.
I think that this is a long and impressive list of negatives for such a seemingly simple gadget.
To summarize a generic opinion: Do not use any adapter with build in lens elements, take rather the Nikon ES-1 despite its shortcomings. Cheap no-name glass will likely spoil the resolution of your pricey macro lens. Nikon ES-1 is the right way of doing it, however in a lousy execution. Thank you Nikon for ES-1, shame on you Nikon, you blew it again.
