Every time I use Hoodman products, I'm happier and happier they are here for serious photographers. Whether in recent shooting in a different European country each day, or doing family and child portraiture, as well as in the tough conditions of Death Valley, my Hoodman products have never let me down. I rely on their Compact Flash cards when shooting, both for dependability and speed.  I use their right angle finder to get unique perspectives, and I revel in the speed with which an 8 gig card unloads into my MacBook Pro using their FireWire 800 reader. You could use cards and other tools that are less reliable, less useful and less thoughtfully designed; why would you want to do that? 

 

Best yet, they're made in America, and I like to buy American whenever possible.
