Thanks for taking the time to read the Omega Photo blog. I will try to give you important information as well as some money saving information this week. This week I will bring you both Canon service updates, Canon Live Learning Center information, and the updates we are having in the store.

On Friday, I came in to Omega to see all the cabinets ripped right out. Now I’ve been out for a couple days so I was not in the loop on this. I thought we had been robbed. So here I am thinking that we have been robbed when all of the sudden new cabinets came in. To my delight, we are currently remodeling! If you come into the store over the next few days, we are not moving out. Its rather the opposite. We are updating our look and trying to make things easier for you to find. So please, pardon our mess and if your favorite products aren’t where they used to be, don’t be shy, please ask us.

We are having a digital filter sale. It is a great buy. The Promaster Digital Filters are 20% off. Promaster Digital filters come in UV filters and Circular Polarizer filters. The benefits of these filters are the Digital Anti-Reflective Multi-Coating, Black Rimmed Glass and the Low Profile Frame. The Digital Anti-Reflective Multi-Coating is really something that you need to see to believe, so come ask for a demonstration in store. The Black Rimmed Glass reduces reflections inside the camera and the Low Profile Frame ensures that you do not have vignetting on the new digital wide lenses. The UV filter is really a necessity as it protects your lenses. These filters are going fast and we do have a limited quantity on hand. Check in the store for this great deal.

Canon Service Update: http://tinyurl.com/qk2cmu This update addresses the 1D and 1Ds Mark III’s that exhibit a large ring shaped spot on their photos. This is caused by lubricant from the mirror box making its way to the low pass filter in front of the sensor. If you have this problem Canon asks that you contact them for a free cleaning. Their contact information is on the bottom of the linked page.

Canon Learning Live Center: http://tinyurl.com/cmf56b The Canon Learning Live Center is for individuals who have a camera in the EOS System. This is a really neat site. It shows you the dates and times for EOS classes and programs that are available. You can register online for the classes as well. Another neat feature is the search by city or instructor feature. If you particularly prefer an instructor, you can see all the classes which that person will be teaching. If you live close to a major city, you can see all the classes that are offered in that city. Currently it does not seem that there are any classes for the Seattle area.
