What is the best CF card Reader for Imac

I have a new D800E and need to figure out what would be the best CF Card reader when tranfering to my Imac, Any Suggestions?

Any and all should work without problems. The only limitation is in the reader itself as to what format SD card is can read. Standard, High Capacity or density or I think what they are calling Extra High Capacity.

You asked about CF, which is Compact Flash (which is larger than and different from SD cards). CF is used typically in higher end digital cameras.

Here is the CF reader I recommend:

Hoodman USB 3.0 Raw Steel UDMA Card Reader for CompactFlash and SD Cards

(also available from other sellers, including Amazon and many camera stores simply stock it on their shelf)

This product reads two kinds of cards -- CF and SD. It is very good at doing those two things (as opposed to cheap readers that read 20+ types of cards and are flimsy and don't work all that well and don't last).

This Hoodman device is ruggedly built, largely metal, and has a special pin guard "drop door" that protects the numerous delicate pins in the reader from accidental damage, which is what often happens to these CF readers -- namely a few of the many delicate pins get bent unintentionally after a period of use. This has been the bane of CF and its readers, those many delicate pins. This Hoodman design directly addresses the issue and from the reviews I've read and my daughter's experience with it, they seem to have succeeded.

It comes with USB 3.0, which is very fast (if you have the 3.0 port), and it works as USB 2.0 if you have the older interface. It reads the latest and fastest of the CF cards as well.

Thanks Steve626. That sounds like a good option. I like the ruggedness part.

I have to check and see if my IMac is 2.0 or 3.0????  Hopefully 3.0

Thank you Steve626. 

The device has been updated, or at least renamed. It is now here: https://www.adorama.com/hnstlusb3.html
