Label My Food

Would you buy battery farmed eggs from a shop or supermarket?
Probably not.

Yet restaurants and cafes use battery-farmed eggs every day in cakes, mayonnaise, fresh pasta, and many more dishes, without telling you. If they were labelled ‘made with battery-farmed eggs’ would you still want to eat them?

If you care about what goes into your food and where it comes from then Label My Food needs you.

Label My Food is an exciting new campaign encouraging restaurants, pubs, cafes and all other food outlets to dramatically improve the information they provide to customers on their menus.

Whether it is animal welfare, the environment, a food allergy, your religion or just a general interest in food that motivates you, please show your support.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent lightweight flash unit for D60   December 27, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As I have a D60 with an 18-200 mm lens so my comments pertain specifically to that camera/lens combination.

While researching suitable flash units I selected the SB400 instead of any of the larger SB600, SB800 and the new SB900 units due to the following reasons in order fo priority:

1. Size - the SB400 is small enough to go in the camera bag or a pocket. Therefore it will actually get used.
2. Ease of use - basically just put it on, turn it on and let the camera control the output.
3. Cost - very good value for money.
4. Power output - powerful enough for a medium sized room and most situations I'll find myself needing a flash for.

The only slight limitation is the lack of tilt to the side for bouncing flash in portrait mode but this is quite minor considering the other benefits. Taking a wider shot with some cropping solves the issue in any case.

I recommend this flash unit without reservation.




5 out of 5 stars Small and very useful for indoor photography   November 12, 2008
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

This is a great little flash. It fits nicely in a small pocket, weighs absolutely nothing and helps immensely indoors. The head tilts upwards at 60-, 75- and 90-degree angles. As a previous reviewer mentioned, it communicates with my camera perfectly ( currently owning a D300 ) to get spot-on exposure every time.
The only time it struggled was in a room where the ceiling was painted black and the bounce was limited. Still, this was easily resolved with flash-metering before taking the shot.
The beauty of this flash is that there are no settings to change on the back, you just switch it on and start shooting. I mostly use it in rooms with friends, and get amazing colours, as if there is no flash at all.

This is a great flash, particularly for those who have extended lenses which can cause some shadowing in your images. It has 3 settings for different angles.
