Is the step loss through the whole range? Will my 70-200 2.8 still be 2.8 at 70, and 5.6 at 400?

Hi Keith, The light loss is throughout the whole range. So the 70-200 f2.8 becomes a 98-280 f4.0 but it is still good :)

Yes. it will be a step loss. However, I may recommend to buy the newer version "III"...the same step loss but far much better capture quality (eg sharpness)...naturally, the budget should be considered also.

The instructions say "the footswitch toggles the EQ in and out of bypass", which could mean only the EQ is toggled on and off, and gain and volume are always active. This interpretation is bolstered by the EQ LEDs toggling on and off, but the gain and volume LEDs remaining on, regardless of the footswitch. HOWEVER, when the EQ LEDs are off, the gain and volume sliders are lit but have no effect, so it seems the footswitch provides a true bypass for the entire circuit (gain+EQ+volume). BTW, I've had my M-108 two years, and I'm still happy with it.

Sorry, Rebecca but you cannot adjust resistance of steps. I do like this stepper a lot, though.

it gets just shy of 95 degrees... well maybe a little more than shy... i'd say about 85 degress... but if it is going to be too low you are in good shape.. if its going to be to high, i'd look elsewhere.

Sure, 5.1 + 2.0 = 7.1, so the math works out fine. My install of the unit looks neat and clean. Good luck with yours. Thanks, JO

Thanks for your detailed insights. From your post and others I've read, seems like I'll stick with the 305. I am very happy with the accuracy and ease of use, I just need to find some way to make it not rub my wrist so much. And the only other thing, and this is minor, is that it does not calculate calories expended unless you are using the GPS. I would think they could make an estimate when you are using the footpod indoors, but they don't. (The Polar R200sd does do this.)Maybe they will get the kinks worked out of the 405 sometime and I'll think about it then. Until then, I guess it doesn't pay to be an early adopter.

Like Dorothy, I normally use just one setting. However, I just tried them all and, like Sally, found a considerable difference in resistance between the low and high settings. Low is nearly freewheeling, high is like going up a stiff grade, and the steps in between are a fairly even progressing between the two extremes.

my old work has the 28-70 2.8... personally I took it out of my bag n use the old 35-70 2.8... that is much sharper then the 28-70 <-- might be the worst 2.8 ever... but they got it right with 24-70 sharp n wide... oh n weight less then the 28-70...

I run the complete set but I've sprinkled in the older Orlimar versions for the 3-6 irons as they have longer shafts and I got used to them. The degrees I use to reference these clubs are 3-21, 4-23, 5-26, 6-30, 7-35, 8-39, 9-43, PW-47. I get a lot of crap from my buds but I'm not a divot hitter. I sweep rather then hit "down" and these work for me. Hit a Hole in One with the 7 the other day.

Mine is 55 and and I turned it up to about 3/4 and keeps it at 72-74. So I'd say yes.

I am currently using this in a .243. After 200+ rounds, my zero is still dead on.

zoom in a little bit. At the low end of your 18-55 in a small space (indoors) you most likely won't see a lot of difference- take it outside and turn it up to 55 and I promise you'll notice something!

I've heard that motionbased.com adjusts the elevation readings now to reflect more accurate elevations. I don't own one yet, but am looking to buying one and have heard this from a few friends who own the 305. This, from what I understand, is the 305's biggest weakness! However, I still want one above any other of its kind...

Mine is 24.84. According to their site they have switched to 25.5 so there is a disparagement in mine and what their official site claims. I read somewhere else they switched at some point so I may have an older model.

I have a 5-string dropped 1-1/2 steps (so lowest string is G#) and it has no problems with this extreme lows.

I've only used it set up on a trainer. I believe the output is related to speed so the slower you go the less output you will get.

No. I'm tuning it now and when pressing down it skips from 88.0 to 108.0. Changing from US to EU doesn't make a difference.
