Great Shape

Is buying a used lens in great shape better than buying a new one?

I heard lenses get better with age assuming it’s been kept in good condition and may inflate (with a risk of deflation). I’m searching BH Photo and I trust them a lot and they rate the used lenses they sell, too. I’m looking at a 9 condition lens, which would be in great condition. It is $500.00 off a new one. What’s the best option?

I would prefer to get a lens in my hands and on my camera before making a decision on a used model. Make sure B&H will take the lens back if you determine it will not meet your needs.

I do agree that new is the best way to go, but I also understand that used may make a lens that would otherwise be too expensive, obtainable.

I personally have no problem with used lenses, I have several. But, I got to test them before purchase.

The Shape of the Great Pyramid $85 Who has not seen a picture of the Great Pyramid of Egypt, massive in size but deceptively simple in shape, and not wondered how that shape was determined? Starting in the late eighteenth century, eleven main theories were proposed to explain the shape of the Great Pyramid. Even though some of these theories are well known, there has never been a detailed examination of their origins and dissemination. Twenty years of research using original and difficult-to-obtain source material has allowed Roger Herz-Fischler to piece together the intriguing story of these theories. Archaeological evidence and ancient Egyptian mathematical texts are discussed in order to place the theories in their proper historical context. The theories themselves are examined, not as abstract mathematical discourses, but as writings by individual authors, both well known and obscure, who were influenced by the intellectual and social climate of their time. Among results discussed are the close links of some of the pyramid theories with other theories, such as the theory of evolution, as well as the relationship between the pyramid theories and the struggle against the introduction of the metric system. Of special note is the chapter examining how some theories spread whereas others were rejected. This book has been written to be accessible to a wide audience, yet four appendixes, detailed endnotes and an exhaustive bibliography provide specialists with the references expected in a scholarly work

Shape and Shape Theory $250 Shape and Shape Theory D. G. Kendall Churchill College, University of Cambridge, UK D. Barden Girton College, University of Cambridge, UK T. K. Carne King’s College, University of Cambridge, UK H. Le University of Nottingham, UK The statistical theory of shape is a relatively new topic and is generating a great deal of interest and comment by statisticians, engineers and computer scientists. Mathematically, ‘shape’ is the geometrical information required to describe an object when location, scale and rotational effects are removed. The theory was pioneered by Professor David Kendall to solve practical problems concerning shape. This text presents an elegant account of the theory of shape that has evolved from Kendall’s work. Features include:. * A comprehensive account of Kendall’s shape spaces. * A variety of topological and geometric invariants of these spaces. * Emphasis on the mathematical aspects of shape analysis. * Coverage of the mathematical issues for a wide range of applications. The early chapters provide all the necessary background information, including the history and applications of shape theory. The authors then go on to analyse the topic, in brilliant detail, in a variety of different shape spaces. Kendall’s own procedures for visualising distributions of shapes and shape processes are covered at length. Implications from other branches of mathematics are explored, along with more advanced applications, incorporating statistics and stochastic analysis. Applied statisticians, applied mathematicians, engineers and computer scientists working and researching in the fields of archaeology, astronomy, biology, geography and physical chemistry will find this book of great benefit. The theories presented are used today in a wide range of subjects from archaeology through to physics, and will provide fascinating reading to anyone engaged in such research.

Shape by Shape Creative Pattern Game $12.99 When reject a lot of puzzles because they’re just too darn easy. What’s the point of a puzzle you can solve in 30 seconds? (Unless it’s a Rubik’s Cube and you can solve it in under 30 seconds while blindfolded and standing on one foot.) We love puzzles that take a classic challenge to a newer, more devious level, and that’s just what we found in Shape by Shape, the creative pattern game. Shape by Shape is a Tangram style game, but more advanced and difficult because players must fill in the border as well as making each shape. The puzzle comes with 60 Challenge Cards. Shape By Shape is a great introduction to conceptual thinking and spatial relationships — Shape by Shape is hard fun! Product Specifications WARNING: Choking hazard. Small parts. Not for children under 3. Recommended ages: 8 – adult Tangram-style game, but more difficult since you must also fill in the border 60 challenge cards and 14 puzzle pieces Cards fit neatly in tray beneath frame Plastic lid for portability Teaches problem solving and pattern matching Solutions included (in case you wimp out)

A Century’s Journey: How the Great Powers Shape the World $31.42 Will the world of the twenty-first century be dominated by global companies, ethnic strife, or rogue tyrants? This definitive volume argues convincingly that the answer depends on the actions of the world’s great powers, which will continue to set the rules affecting globalization, culture, and pariah regimes.In "A Century’s Journey," seven influential scholars trace the global strategies of the world’s most powerful countries during the past 100 years. Through authoritative chapters on each great power, readers will learn how these countries redefined their interests in response to momentous changes and reshaped the world so that it bears only slight resemblance to the world of 1900.The scholars and their areas of expertise are Professors Robert A. Pastor (United States), Stanley Hoffman of Harvard University (France), Josef Joffe, Editor of "Suddeutsche Zeitung "(Germany), Robert Legvold of Columbia University (Soviet Union/Russia), Robert J. Lieber of Georgetown University (Great Britain), Michael Oksenberg of Stanford University (China), and Kenneth Pyle of the University of Washington (Japan).
