Hi All, I'm not sure it is an important question, but more out of interest really - But if the Z mount lets in around 1/3rd more light to the sensor than the F-Mount, then is there a trade-off when using F-mount lens with the adaptor, that you are reducing the amount of light hitting the sensor...

Hi All, My Sigma 150-600 C is currently off with Sigma as I somehow managed to get some fungus growing inside, so I thought I'd have it properly removed before it got too bad. While reassembling and testing the lens, they reported that the OS motor needs replacing. This is the second time this...

Hi all, My wife has accidentally scratched the front element of her B700 lens. I have cleaned with with a lens brush and lens pen, but it is significant mark that can be seen through the EVF and shows in her shots (The amount depends on the aperture of course) - It is like a 2mm (0.07") x 1mm...

Hi All, Its been a long time since I last posted - I hope you're all well! When I was recently carrying my Sigma 150-600 in it's black pouch, I hit on an idea - The side pouches from my old Army backpack are about 150-600 size, and have an attachable yoke meaning I could have a mini back pack...

Well I as you may know, I recently bought a Sigma 24-105 f4 Art lens. I had considered a Nikon 24-120, but after hearing and reading great things about the Sigma "Art" range, and owning a 150-600 C already, I decided to give the Art a go. Now, the lens arrived on Tuesday afternoon, and as luck...

Hi all, I'm looking for a fairly compact "Walk around" lens, and I'm intrigued by these two lenses. Has anyone got experience of either or both, and if so, what do you think of them? They both seem pretty similar in terms of price, and while the Nikon has a bit more length, I hear nothing but...

Hi All! At some point at the back-end of March (26th - 31st), my lens info appears to have stopped being recorded in the EXIF info of my shots. It no longer appears in the Loupe info in Lightroom, or when images are posted up in Flickr - It records the focal length of the shot, but not what lens...

Here's a few shots I took the other week of a busker in York, called Dave Pilla. He always attracts quite a large audience, so if you music buffs fancy checking him out, have a look here:- » Dave Pilla | Musician ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I was debating which area to post this under, but O/T seems to be most appropriate! We've all seen the "Selfie" taken by the monkey in Indonesia? Well now PETA are saying he is owed damages as he fired the shutter and therefore owns the copyright.... Oh, but also as he's a monkey, give us the...

I know third party batteries have been discussed almost to death, but I recently cancelled an order for a Nikon battery thinking I would get a Wasabi battery, then I found that Amazon don't list the EN-EL15 in Wasabi's range... At the same I noticed a Duracell EN-EL15 for half the price of a...

Hi All, After 3 years heavy use, today a power cut killed my 2-bay NAS drive. I *think* the two disks inside are ok as they were idle and not even spinning at the time. I have ordered another unit, so when it arrives, fingers crossed my drives aren't corrupt! All my data is on one drive, the...

Hi All, I'm hoping to get to a weekend of powerboat & jetski racing at the end of this month (For the local folk, 30 & 31st May, Scarborough - Welcome to P1 Superstock - P1 Superstock ) I was wondering if anyone here has been to a similar event, and if so what lens would you recommend? I am...

The Image Academy are offering a course for a £220 discount, which although it covers mainly the basics, it could be worth a punt! I'm certainly going to sign up and see what it's like. You can get the voucher code from their Facebook page (No likes or subscriptions required)...

Just browsing EBay looking for a bargain, and I stumbled upon these...... Has anyone tried them? Are they worth a punt? 64GB SDXC CLASS 10 MEMORY CARD FOR Nikon D800, D800E, D3200, D600, D5200, D7100 | eBay ETA: I have donea bit more research and they get mixed reviews... Some saying they are...

Hi All, Since buying my 70-200 f2.8, I have become more aware of the value of my kit, and I wonder if I should look at separate insurance, or just stick to including it under the house insurance - I'd really like theft & accidental damage cover both home and abroad - The house insurance covers...

Hi All, I am wanting to get a rain sleeve for my kit as a lot of my lenses aren't weather sealed - Primarily, the 55-300mm. I'm off to an outdoor event in a month that I'd like to photograph regardless of the weather. Given the price range of these sleeves (£5-50 UK pounds) are the cheaper ones...

A few weeks ago, I overheard on the radio that the local station was having a competition to have listener's photos featured on their 2015 calendar. Since I am in and around York a lot with my camera waiting for my wife to finish work, I have lots of shots from around the city so I sent a set...

I am going to join in the 52 for 2015 too. I will be using the Nikonites subject list in any order and any lens... I may also post more than one shot a week. Abandoned Arches Architecture Bark Black and White Broken Chairs and benches City/Town/Where I live Close-up Coiled...

Hi All, I have always struggled a bit with noise reduction - It seems like guess work to me! Last night I was shooting a school nativity, and while I arranged with the school for the main shoot to be at the dressed rehearsal where I could move around freely, I still took some shots "On the...

This isn't a one off deal as such just a review of my experience with a supplier, but I thought it may be useful to others and this seems to be the most appropriate area to post - Mods please feel free to move or remove if needed! There are a lot of places that charge fairly hefty deposits or...
