Sima Lens Cap Keeper ~Have A Lens Cap With No Cord? You Can With This!
by JDinPA
Pros: Works well to attach a snap on lens to the camera or lens barrel body
Cons: Sticky sticks well, but elastic cord gets a bit floppy after a while

Beltronics Vector 940 Radar Detector
I bought a SECOND one a month later
by johns1947New Member
Pros: I would give it 5 stars for 'value'.
Cons: No auto-power switch, no 10 foot straight cord.

Cons: it is entirely of plastic, if that is a "con"
I've always wanted a gumball machine, but I have no idea what I'd do with it. I chew gumballs on occasion, and the "Old Tyme" gumball machines were such a novelty and I thought since I had a child, I could always use her as an excuse to buy one. I ...
