The "ca" stands for California Approved as it's C.A.R.B. Compliant. According to the MSDS the contents are identical.af-3: http://idqusa.com/datasheets/msds/AF-3_MSDS.pdfaf-3ca: http://idqusa.com/datasheets/msds/AF-3CA_MSDS.pdfThe big difference is the fitting on the top. The "ca" version is different so any existing connecting hoses you have may not fit.Check out:http://macsworldwide.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/in-california-it%E2%80%99s-the-new-law-for-refrigerant-use/

I have a Nikon D5300 with a AF-S 18-300 DX. Works great with moderate lighting and above. AF still works and is a great cost effective way to add extra reach. It softens the picture a little bit with large prints. So far it's been a great little gadget.

I think the 3 is for full frame cameras. I hope that helps. I D7000 is full frame so Id get that one.

There are two different versions. I assume by "the $200 one" you mean the LA-EA1 or LA-EA3. These lens have extremelyt limited and slow autofocus, they do, however, support the rest of the lens electronics, so they are better then a dumb adapter. They are not something you want if you plan on using autofocus, however.The LA-EA2 and LA-EA4 both support full speed (DSLR speed) autofocus with almost every single A-mount lens. They even have a drive motor for the older lenses that do not have one built in.The difference between the LA-EA1/2 and LA-EA3/4 is that the 3/4 are built with full frame sensors in mind (like the upcoming A7 and A7R). If you have an NEX-7, you can use the E1 or E2 without worry. There are two different versions. I assume by "the $200 one" you mean the LA-EA1 or LA-EA3.

Thank you technology guy. Someone I know also said to look at the Metz 50 AF -1 50311C. Do you know anything about it and, if not, would you be willing to look at its specs on Amazon and give me your thoughts? I very much appreciate your help

Initially when I was looking for my replacement, I read that the LST400 does support the AF-100-3ZP, however others have commented that it didn't work as well. I matched what the manual suggested and stayed with the exact replacement. I would suggest to follow that rule, to be sure to get exactly what you need for your unit. Good luck.

If you are looking to update and stick with the a-mount system, the A99 is the way to go. I have both and the full frame sensor on the A99 along with the added features and better low light performance makes it my go to camera. The only thing the a A77 is better at is speed, Fps. Your other option is to go mirrorless like the A7 series and use an adapter like the LEA4 to use your A - mount glass. It's an amazing camera for the money I have the A7. The only negative is the lack of in-body stabilization which is remedied by the A7 mk 2 that just came out.

It totally depends on the most used features of the 5D Mark III that you used. The AF is much more basic on the 6D. The build isn't as solid feeling, the sensor is a hairs smaller, and the buffer is smaller. Other than that, the sensitivity of the sensor and the processor speed great. Are you doing a lot of HDR raw? 6D doesn't do HDR Raw. Are you monitoring any filming of your kid wi headphones? The 6D doesn't have an additional monitoring jack. I got a 6D and haven't looked back and would have not qualms about shooing a client with it. I hope this helps. If needed, go to a local camera store and get your hands on one for the feel.

Quasar is my favorite, I've tried numerous devices and this is the only one that worked, but I didnt notice any difference between the pro and the cheaper quasar

i use this exclusively for NON-AI, AI and AIS. I haven't even tried with and Af-S. i'd say it's down to manufacture or user error. I'd send it back. And frankly you sound like you know what you're doing.Good luck!

I've had the Kenko tubes as well as the Zeikos (which I use now). In my opinion, the Zeikos are better designed and build, i.e. they're sturdier and the auto focus works. The AF doesn't work with all three tubes together but it does work with a variety of combinations of the three.

one more vote for the Energizer L91 AA lithium batteries. I found they lasted at least 4 times as long as brand name alkaline batteries in my now stolen canon a530. while the initial purchase of the batteries is more expensive they end up costing you less money because they last so much longer. i also noticed the camera weighed much less with them in it and the flash seemed to recharge faster.

CR123A are what I have in mine. So long as they output 3V and are the same size as the stock batteries, you are good to go. SF123 (Surefire brand) and others will work fine. CR123A will give you a lot of bang for the buck.

Not sure why u though I'd know.. But after a quick google search I found the alpha tech, and it turns out I've seen them in person. They are large/bulky and very ugly. Also made out if cheep plastic. Unlike the b3 that I left a review on. The b3 is commonly referred to as an aviator pen. As I'm in the airforce so it fits the bill perfectly. Tho the skillcraft and tombow are also excellent chooses for a 3 way pens. I own all 3 and prefer the tombow.

This is my first time working with a media filter so I cannot answer your question about what the difference(s), if any, might be. I can say that Air Bear is supposed to be one of the best. I would suggest getting the right size then let your experience with it answer your question. I hope I helped even if just a little. Good luck!

For Anagha, There is no difference in the set up. The sound is tuned the same and will sound great wherever you play it. The A3 has the battery and in the back of the speaker where you plug in power, there are rubber plugs that protect those openings and helps it resist water. Not water proof...water resistant.

Air-P is based on Silicon Image 2nd generation 60 GHZ chipset. Smaller Air3 is based on 3rd generation chipset. Wireless performance essentially the same, only advantages for 3rd gen are smaller size and much lower DC power consumption.
