Like @Blacktop says, the very end of your lens will move in / out as you focus. Focus the lens on a distant object then a near one, and you will see the difference.

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...

Today, I think I found Bag-topia! I have just finished "Moving in"! Pro Light Camera Backpack: 3N1-35 PL MB PL-3N1-35 - Backpacks | Manfrotto Also, at the same time, we bought these for my wife... Opticron - Countryman BGA HD ETA: Photos aren't mine, they are from the manufacture's...

Happy birthday, @Lawrence !!

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...

Cool set of nose-art, @donaldjledet!

Thanks @hark! The link worked - It did roll over automatically, I must have missed the PayPal email receipt, as I would have wondered who Sugarman Studios were and checked!

@jdeg please can you check when I last contributed? I was expecting it to have renewed by now, but I haven't seen anything through PayPal?

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...

Thanks Chris! One of the Police escorts was kind enough to give us his copy of the day's route notes that they used as a souvenir too, a pretty unusual memento of the day! (excuse the camera phone shots!)

Thanks @Pretzel !

To second @Marcel, I have the 50mm f1.8 D (Since my 35mm is on perma-loan to my son!) and for what it costs, it is an outstanding lens.

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)...

Those times seem about right, @Pretzel - I know every time I look at reviews, the SanDisks are the only ones I can find that have a high write rate which is why I want the 90MB/s to start with... I'm not overly bothered if 100 shots take an extra 30 seconds to copy off at the end of the day...

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...

Yes, the best way to improve is practice! There a member here from the UK who takes awesome shots - @Lee532 - Have a look at some of his posts and pictures and have a look at the EXIF (settings used) info on his shots. His profile here links to his Flickr -...

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...

Being such a huge country maybe the nearest to local knowledge could be @aroy - Although I haven't seen him around much since before Christmas, I hope he is still around.

Wow! thanks everyone - Firstly I'd like to thank my parents for having me, and my wife for buying my first camera etc..... @nikonpup - I have emailed the station to find out about buying a few more for family and friends so I will post up here when they get back to me. Alternatively, I have a...
