Or search "TalkNEX" in the store on your mobile device.

We've switched developers, and the new developer is actively improving the app, so new and better functionality should come in the form of updates soon.

The Sony Nex 7 price has been reduced by $250 for both the body only and with the 18-55 kit lens, at B&H.

I've spent the past five days escaping winter in Oregon by heading for Death Valley and parts thereabout, entering the valley via Titus Canyon and camping out at the Racetrack, where boulders the size of basketballs get blown across the playa by the fierce winds there.

I spent the night out there, and this was the view from my tent.

Then I rode south to the Trona Pinnacles.

A few more images from this trip can be found here on my Flickr page.

The Sony 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 lens is available at a discount bundled with several Nex camera/lens combinations at B&H:

The Sigma 30 & 19mm lenses F/Sony E mount & M/43 are now available at B&H

The Sony 20mm f/2.8 Alpha E-mount Lens is now available at B&H



Also, a quick notice on my part. Some of you may have noticed I've been posting some B&H links and announcements lately here and on Amin's other forums. A few of you have asked if I'm affiliated with B&H, so I thought I'd let you know what's going on. I'm not directly affiliated with B&H, but Amin and the forums are. As part of this relationship, B&H often makes review copies of cameras available for loan - because I had been informally writing my reactions to various cameras over the past few years, Amin offered to include me in that loaner program so I could try out more gear and continue to write about it. As part of that arrangement, I also get all of B&H's announcements and emails and because I'm grateful to have the opportunity to try out new cameras, I offered to help Amin out by posting some of these if I get to them first or when he doesn't have the time. So, that's the connection. I do get review cameras from B&H because Amin offered to include me in that program and I sometimes post B&H notices. That's the extent of it...

TalkNEX will have free apps for both Android and iOS. While neither is yet in the app stores, I have a sneak peek copy for Android users to check out.

In order to install this non-market app, you must have "Unknown sources" checked in your Android device settings. This can be found under the "Applications" or "Security" section depending on what version of Android you are running.

Here's the app (download on your device): VGFsa05FWA==20130409090434.apk

The Sony Alpha NEX-3N w/ 16-50 (Black & White) are both now in stock at B&H.

Today only, while supplies last: NEX-F3 and 18-55mm kit lens for $369.99

Huge (70%) price drop by Google-owned Nik Software for their software suite, now $150.

After applying our 15% coupon code "MU-43", the cost is $126.65!*

Direct link: Nik Collection



*Coupon code is from Mu-43.com, but the revenue from Mu-43.com helps pay for this site's server costs, so it's really a shared coupon code .


Update / important note: If you have already purchased any of the Nik Software programs within the past five years, you should have gotten an email with a link to download all of the applications for free. In many cases, this email has been going to people's junk/spam mail folder, so check that folder for an email titled "Thanks for your support: upgrade to the new Nik Collection by Google" which probably arrived on March 25th. If you didn't get the email, send an email to Nik Support.


Favor request: If you used the "MU-43" coupon code successfully and have a minute to spare, please click here and give us a thumbs up rating. It will help us rank higher so more people use our coupon.* Thanks in advance!


*Someone else listed a "mu-73" (looks like "mu-43" if you're not paying attention) coupon, I guess to divert attention from our coupon .
