BorrowLenses.com - Renting a Lens (part 2)

Sorry for the slight delay in getting this post out. I intended for it to go up on Monday but my schedule had other plans for me!

What a great experience so far. Here's what I found on my doorstep when I got home on Friday afternoon.

UPDATE: It's worth noting (as pointed out by a reader) that BorrowLenses.com requires a signature for delivery. I had made arrangements ahead of time with the delivery company to leave the box on the front porch, i.e. Signature Letter on file)

Upon opening the box, I found the Sigma 8mm Fisheye I ordered, extremely well packaged both in a plastic bag and completely encased in foam. In addition, included were return instructions and a prepaid FedEx label. The process doesn't seem like you could make it more simple.

I've played with the lens a little bit over the last week. Stay tuned for some example photos and the final installment of my BorrowLenses.com experience.

One "Suite" Deal from onOne Software

I got an email this morning from Brian Kraft, VP of Sales, over at onOne software giving me a heads-up on a really great deal they're offering on Plug-In Suite 4.5. I'm going to be doing a detailed write-up on each of the tools in the suite later this summer, but this deal is for a limited time and I don't want you guys to miss it. 

Ready for this? The complete Plug-In Suite is getting marked down an additional $150 off its already discounted price of $499.95. 

$349.95 for a complete set of some of the best photo editing plugins available on the market today.

Worldwide Photo Walk Apparel / Springs of Hope

A couple weeks back, Scott Kelby mentioned on his blog that I was working with him and the folks at NAPP on a way to turn the Worldwide Photo Walk into a opportunity to raise some funds for the folks at the Springs of Hope Orphanage in Kenya, Africa. 

Well after a few weeks of work, some graphics from the folks at NAPP, and a new section added to the Towner Jones CafePress store, I'm now pleased to say that we have a whole line of official apparel. 

The best part? Five dollars from the price of every item sold will go to supporting Springs of Hope. Great photowalking gear in support of a great cause. What more can you ask for?
