which we have tested and we recommend for advanced digital imaging technology especially for archaeology, art history, geology, botany, and zoology.

We try to provide two links to each sponsor/benefactor. The first link is to our review of their pertinent products. The second link is to their corporate web site. Sponsors which have no second link have no web site or else perhaps we have not yet found it.

Since the FLAAR. Web sites are always under construction and revision, any sections which are unlinked will be added as soon as possible.

Additional Sponsors of Professional Studio Photography

These sponsors (such as AGFA) are listed on our other Web Site

In some cases the products are used both for film-based photography and also for digital photography (such as tripods, lenses) in which case the corporate sponsor is listed for film-based and again under our other web sites.
