Fein FBK Review: Fein FBK Filter Bag Kit. I've had a Fein Turbo II vacuum for several years now and I like it a bunch. But, I have never liked emptying and cleaning it, especially the hassle of cleaning the original cloth liner.Now with this kit installed I get better filtration, excellent suction and easy emptying. The dust bag is surprisingly large. I'm sure I will end up changing it more often than I cleaned the unit before simply because it is so much easier to do.

Sigma B00005RKSL Review: Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DF RF Aspherical Wide Angle Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras. If you want to take indoor shots with your SLR, this lens will let in enough light to stop the action. It also will work on your film camera for those REALLY wide-angle shots. I typically use prime lenses for shooting indoor shots and this is one of the best, because of the wide angle (30mm equivalent), sharpness, and speed. No other wide lens has the speed of this one (f1.8). I have taken shots in DIM light without flash that have come out great. ... Read more »

Weber 758001 Review: Weber 758001 22.5-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Blue. We bought this grill as our first grill based on reviews. The Weber grill is a solidly built grill.

Bose AM6IIBLK Review: Bose Acoustimass 6 Series II Home Theater Speaker System (Black). I was lucky enough to find the Acoustamass 6 system at Sam's club coupled with JVC amplifier/tuner for a little less than you would pay for both if purchased separately. Bose lives up to their reputation for quality sound, but I found the system to be lacking in sheer ear-bleeding amplitude. The system can be run safely (100 W per channel) at maximum volume, but it simply doesn't get as loud as I think it should. Otherwise, I have no complaints about this fine product from Bose. ...

Now that we've got that out of the way let me be clear: I love this lens. It's fast, it's as wide as an old "standard" lens that we all knew and loved back in the days of film SLRs and it's plenty sharp.
