Just a couple reflectors (20" and 50"), and reflector arm for one of my light stands, and a diffuser for one of the Yn568s.



I'm getting disappointed with Amazon Prime here lately. The last two orders, at least part of the order has been delayed and not arrived within the 2-day shipping window expected and one of those items I had paid for expedited shipping. Hard to satisfy the instant gratification urge when it takes 3+ days ...

You're doing it all out on the Yongnuos! Got batteries for the 560TX too?

I dropped prime last year. Hell my last 2 orders took 2 weeks to get to me and it was 2 day shipping. Their tracking is also a joke. It never seems to update....

That sucks! Over here its really good, I just got an email saying its dispatched and coming tomorrow, I guess we have size on our hands, it takes around 14 hours to go from John O'Groats to Lands End (the length of the country) so getting a parcel anywhere in the UK overnight is pretty simple, compared to the size of the US I can see it being a logistical nightmare !!

It's been 2.5 hours since I requested the mods to approve my Deals thread for the Spyder5 Pro. *Sigh* Got tired of waiting. If anyone is interested, B&H is selling it for an incredible price! It is a great way to calibrate monitors especially for only $109--today only...unless they run out before the end of the day.

I got in just under the wire. That's a killer deal!

Glad it worked out for you. Looks like they are out of stock now, and since they are currently closed, an order won't be processed right away anyway. However, it looks like these can still be ordered, and the orders will be fulfilled when they get more in stock.

Just wish it wouldn't take hours to get a thread approved in the Deals subforum. @jdeg should consider changing the rules for posting there so threads will show up sooner. It isn't the first time one of my Deals threads sat for hours waiting for mod approval.

After months and months of research, deliberating, looking at countless number of photos on Flickr and other sites.
After reading countless reviews.
After countless side by side comparisons between this lens and the Sigma/Tamron lenses and after just plain going nuts, I have finally pulled the trigger.

Nikkor 200-500mm ED-IF-SD-XYZ-VR-iFocus. (this is the Blacktop edition with iFocus) It will automatically focus on the eyes of any creature for maximum sharpness. The only drawback is that if you're shooting something other than wildlife, it will still find the nearest bird and focus on the eyes no matter what. I for one am willing to live with this small inconvenience.

That is a heavy bugger. Will be interesting to see how it shoots up against the 150-600 I am renting since we both will be shooting the D750. I assume you will be shooting your D750
