I’ve personally owned each but not at the same time. I can’t say I noticed a drop in quality but I also don’t have both to really test so results are probably true. There are reasons to have the Metabones over the MC-11 besides image quality though.

The nitrile Grade T Type A gasket can be specified for a wide range of services, eliminating the need to use multiple types of gaskets for different applications and simplifying gasket selection. The gaskets may be used in Class I, II and III piping systems outside boiler rooms in accordance with Table 7 IACS UR P2. Applications include open-ended piping containing flammable liquids heated above flash point, open-ended liquefied gas, flammable liquids below flash point, sea water, fresh water, sanitary/drains/scuppers, sounding/vent, air and other systems.

The Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R and Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R will be $100 and $200, respectively. The Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R arrives in February 2019 for $400 with a variable ND filter or $300 with a circular polarizing filter. There will also be a $200 matching flash, the Speedlite EL-100.

John Locarno, global sales and marketing manager, said engineers at Durst and Marathon Electric identified the need for an easy-to-install, space-saving system that required fewer parts and literally no maintenance or setup time compared to current designs. “The conventional hydraulic power drive assembly connects the motor shaft and pump drive by way of a C-face motor adaptor and an external coupling. Direct mounting with the Lectric Drive renders the adaptor-coupler approach obsolete. The pump drive literally becomes part of the electric motor.”

Sadly, Canon’s the last holdout sticking with optical stabilization — making its lenses bigger, heavier and more expensive. This leaves us at the mercy of Canon’s decision as to which lenses deserve IS. 

The water crisis has resulted in a lack of trust of government officials and even water quality experts that some Flint officials said may take a generation or two to fix.

"I talked with the plumber. He said with this new copper ProPress they’ve been using, it will be here after our lifetimes," said Robert Burggraf, the maintenance director with Runk & Pratt Senior Living Communities.

The market can be segmented into UPVC, CPVC, HDPE, LDPE, PPR, PPH pipes and fittings and others. Of these, UPVC has accounted for the highest revenue share, followed by HDPE pipes and fittings. The primary growth drivers for the market have been growing sanitation and agriculture sectors in India.The market is at its early growth stage with a large number of organized and unorganized players competing for a share in the market. The market grew at a double digit growth rate during FY’2013 – FY’2018. The primary growth drivers of the PVC pipes and fittings market in India have been rising government investments in irrigation, housing and sanitation through schemes such as Housing for All, AMRUT and PMKSY.

“The Village of Lyndonville /Town of Yates water system does not have any lead in its source water or water mains. Neither the Village or Town have any lead service lines in their systems,” the information from the two municipalities stated. “When water is in contact with pipes or plumbing that contains lead for several hours, the lead may enter drinking water. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have plumbing containing lead. New homes may also have lead; even ‘lead-free’ plumbing may contain some lead.”

For the first time, in-camera 5-axis vibration reduction is appearing in a Nikon camera. The system provides 5-stops of compensation and is also compatible with F-mount lenses mounted to the lens adapter.

Flint residents are still advised against using the city’s tap water even though testing has showed lead levels have receded below federal action standards for about two years. Experts have said they wouldn’t suggest letting residents resume consuming the city’s tap water until after all of the corrosion-weakened lead and iron water service lines were replaced.
