Great version, new availability now very limited.
Now almost unavailable new, this 10th anniversary concert is the original cast, but with the music re-scored for the larger orchestra available for the special event, making it much fuller than the original show production (where the orchestra pit size was very limited). I prefer this to the 25th anniversary version (which I saw), largely because of Nick Jonas's Marius in the 25th. It's a larger production than the staged concert version (also very good), and of course there's something to be said for including the original cast. The encore is also quite special. For some time it's been my preferred recording, bought again new recently as a Christmas gift for my sister, who saw the show with me last year - hence discovering that it's difficult to buy as new stock.

Good, flexible and cheap way to get into infrared photography.
2 of 2 found this helpful Despite slight concern that 690nm infringes on the visible red portion of the spectrum (but not as much as a 590nm "colour IR" conversion), there is an effective IR effect (blue skies are very dark, green foliage reflects a lot of IR which is picked up) without using a supplementary filter, and retains at least some colour differentiation - foliage looks different from architecture, for example. Sensitivity in infrared is good, and the autofocus adjustments seem to be working.
The camera suffers as you would expect a D90 to if you consider its technical image quality (the resolution is only 12MP, there's an AA filter which softens the pixels, dynamic range and high-ISO noise are both very poor by the standards of a current camera, the autofocus system is... quaint, the buffer isn't very large) - but this is a mid-range camera from 2008, and all of this is to be expected, especially for half the price of, say, converted D7000.
A D90 is the cheapest option which supports live view (albeit not as flexibly as later cameras), which is a consideration when putting longer wavelength filters on the camera. I've used everything up to 950nm (at which point a lot less light is hitting the sensor) with success, although since anything above 720nm removes secondary tones from the image and any of these filters stop the viewfinder being usable, I've usually been shooting without a supplementary filter. The D90 also supports screwdriver focus lenses (unlike lower-end bodies), which is useful when trying to avoid lenses with hotspots.
Mine had a lump of fluff embedded in the viewfinder (which isn't visible with the eye to the finder and therefore isn't significant when shooting, but I'd have complained in a new product). I didn't give it five stars partly because of the fluff, and partly because the D90 itself isn't exactly making me regret buying my D850 - so it's not vastly better than expected and without niggles. But I'm very happy with the purchase (my expectations were not high), and would recommend it to others.
