    Tips for California WB use

    So as far as I can tell, the split between people who loveit/hateit is about 40/60. Those who tried it and hated it did so becaues they found it resulted in scratches or they couldn't stand the "squeegie" sort of noises it made. (from what I have read anyway) *When the water blade is...
