    New monitor advice

    My Asus desktop monitor (Windows 10 OS) has just quit which, after all the voltage spikes and outages caused by the wildfires, is not surprising. I use this largely for photo processing so I want to replace it with a unit best suited to this purpose. Recommendations please?

    Fill flash with long lenses and the Better Beamer

    I'm looking for feedback on using this combination. I believe Kevin H used it at the Circle B meet. What were the advantages in shutter speed/exposure settings used and what improvements did you see?

    Eastern England, places to photograph birds

    Battery charging.

    I have a DSTE EN-EL18 in my Nikon grip on the D500. The battery came as a single unit, slide in replacement battery tray with a built in charger and both 110 and 12 volt charging leads which is very convenient. I am in the habit of topping up the battery at the end of each shooting session...

    Specific purpose lens requirement.

    I want a lens specifically and only for use on my D500, mounted on a tripod, in a blind (hide), on my property for shooting birds. It needs to be a minimum of 300mm and as wide open as possible. I do not need VC, light weight or even auto focus but I do need "sharp". I'm thinking an older...

    Flash control

    The menu item "Flash Control" is greyed out on my camera. This is in accordance with the handbook and two other aftermarket books I have read. They all agree that, with specific speed lights mounted, that menu item is accessible. I have two SB600 speed lights that fall into the approved...
