Buying a grey import makes the 1.8D so cheap its silly not to get one, they are cheaper new than used??? But that got me looking at the 1.4D which is also pretty cheap grey import too. I have read a lot of reviews on them and it sounds like the 1.8 might be the sharper lens. DXO rates the 1.8...

Hi all, I am planing a trip into the deep dark Welsh woods waterfall hunting and don't want to run out of electricity. I am sure one battery will be enough but better to be safe, its a bloody long walk in. Any recommendations on 3rd party batteries for the D810? Are they worth the saving. RRP...

Got a set of extension tubes today and had 5 minutes to try them out in my lunch break, think I'm going to have fun with them. Not the best shot, DoF is too shallow and its windy here today; but I can see the potential.

Love the shot with multiple dogs in a door way, lovely. My musings from yesterday learning my new camera and lens.

So I understand that the Nikon mount is as old as the hills and with that comes a few compromises but I don't understand all of them..... Modern lenses have the AF motor in them, I assume the older AF lenses only work on bodies that have the AF drive. I also assume that you can use these lenses...

Tried to get a few more. Took me ages to figure out the AF-S and AF-C. Such a different system to Canon. I like it now I know how to use it but sitting in a field scratching my head an getting the mobile out to do a net search revealed the answers eventually.

Hi all, I have been using lightroom 3.6 and photoshop CS5 64bit for quite some time. Trouble is now I have moved form canon to a D810 neither programs will read the RAW files? I have tried updating lightroom and it says it is up to date. Do I need a newer version of lightroom? I prefer...

Hi all, Loving the information on the forum. I am replacing my stolen Canon outfit with Nikon. To get my full pay out I have to show receipts for all the 'camera' money being spent on camera gear and I have about £700 left to spend ($1100) and I'm not sure what to spend it on. Ideas and...

Hi all, Totally new to Nikon having come across from Canon. Simple question, will the D810 built in commander trigger yongnuo speedlights, specifically the 568ex and 565ex? Or will I need a separate on camera trigger unit? Thanks
