DAK TURBO BAKER IV FAB-2000 BREAD MACHINE - TESTED - WORKS PERFECT
Jun 06, 2017
Great product.
This is the best bread machine for whole wheat I have ever used. It is easy to use and efficient. Unlike most bread machines the yeast goes in first, but it never fails to do proper mixing and kneading. The model IV has a stronger motor than the earlier models, which is why it works so well on whole wheat. Timer lets you find fresh bread every morning (or any other time. Also has a cycle that stops before baking, so you can knead dough and bake or fry it outside of the machine. I highly recommend it.

Yes, they’re cotton canvas bags.
Of all the cotton canvas bags I’ve ever owned, these are certainly four of them. Just what you would expect.

Sigma 15-30 is a very good value
I purchased the Sigma 15-30 zoom specifically for use on a digital SLR, so most of my photos will be taken in the sweet-spot in the center of the image. I prefer zooms on digital SLRs because changing lenses creates a dust problem with them, so the less you have to change them the less often you have to clean. The sensors are remarkably easy to damage, so any cleaning is a risk.
I have tested it with both Digital and Still cameras and the results are really quite good; even in the corners of full frame 35mm film. Yes, there is some barrel distortion at 15mm, especially with full frame 35mm photos, but it is quite acceptable. Now that Adobe Photoshop allows distortion correction it is very easy to correct. The effect is less noticable on my 1.5:1 digital, and for most uses isn't noticable. Sharpness and color correction are alot better than I expected. I'm not talking about perspective distortion - that just goes with the territory very wide angle lenses. I have been a professional photographer for a lot of years and I am very satisfied with the images. I've gotten worse from non-zoom lenses in the 15-21mm range; and paid a lot more for them. It isn't up to the quality of my fixed focus 15mm Nikkor, but very few ultra-wide lenses are. It will produce a professional quality image, with a lot more versatility than a fixed focal length lens, and that's what counts. I haven't carried the 15 Nikkor for a while unless I'm specifically shooting architecture on film, not digital.
Mechanically the lens is smooth in operation with good feedback and no slop in the zoom or focus. It is also remarkably light weight but seems very durable. All-in-all a remarkable piece of optics for the money.
