Thanks for the link, @aroy. the test is a little old though & doesn't have the Hoya HD. It would have been interesting to see some Nikon filter results too. @sonicbuffalo I'd prefer the best I can get, Chris. A cheap filter on Nikon glass doesn't sit right with me. :( Horoscope Fish, I think...

A simple question hopefully... Which is the best Hoya filter range? I'm interested in Protectors, a Circular Polariser & maybe ND filter in future. Their awful typo website is unclear: HOYA | The Difference is Clear The HD range or the Pro1 range?

@traceyjj Thanks for the suggestion. Looking at pre-owned prices, they seem often to be only slightly cheaper than new. Nikon glass seems to really hold it's value, especially FX. My other issue is that with no camera shops in my location, it's an expensive trip to check out the pre-owned gear.

Re: FS: Nikon D610 and Lenses @Jules The camera is too expensive. A grey import has to reflect the price of other greys. Here's some examples: Your D610 second hand grey with 800 shots: £940 Ebay D610 brand new grey: £999 Ebay D610 second hand UK with 375 shots: £820 To me, a second hand...

I've been choosing lens to suit each aspect of photography that interest me, but have reached my budget without choosing something for wildlife. Finding a good quality FX lens of at least 300-400mm is too expensive for me at the moment. Would it be viable to buy a DX lens (e.g. 55-300mm) &...

Some posted photos show EXIF data on hover, some don't. Is that a feature of how the photo is posted?

@Bill16 We're proud of you. I'm supposing that you're in bed right now, maybe trying to sleep. The morning will be difficult. Try to change your routine a little, that way it's easier to break an automatic habit. Have toast instead of cereal, have coffee at a different time. Switch to espresso...

I contacted a UK Nikon specialist called Grays of Westminster who seem to provide a good service & have very good prices. I remembered why I prefer to buy off the internet & not talk to salesmen. However the shop does have good reviews. The salesman did heavily push their extended warranty - it...

I hope to get some filters to protect my lenses. Aiming for the best quality I can, which would be preferable; Hoya Pro1 Digital Protector Hoya HD Filter Protector Nikon NC Filter No filter

Get one of these! :cool:

A few questions on card storage if I may..... What size & format SD cards would be best for shooting RAW on a D610? I like Sandisk as a brand, the Extreme Pro range is their fastest. But UHS I or UHS II? Update: I found a handy Sandisk DSLR compatibility page: SanDisk | Product Compatibility...

Thanks @LensWork.

Which are the best cleaning kits for the camera (viewfinder, mirror etc) & lenses? Looking for the best - not cheapest. ;)

@LensWork Thanks for your reply. Which head do you have & do you find that the lighter carbon model feels less stable?

@Vixen Thanks for the advice, I was thinking the tripod more for flowers etc. Point taken about bugs.

Is it possible to change a username?

@WayneF Thanks for the info & links. The main purpose of the flash for me would be macro & close-up work. Reading the manual from your excellent link, it seems that the kit is specifically designed for Macro lenses, including my suggested 105mm. The is a specific adaptor for this lens. The R1...

I'm looking to choose a Nikon Speedlight for my forthcoming new kit. Usage would be indoor & outdoor close-up & macro shots, handheld or tripod. Budget £200-£300. Would consider the SB-R1 £400 close-up kit if strongly advised. D610 + 105mm f2.8 micro Can anyone advise which Nikon Speedlight...

I am looking for a tripod & am considering the Manfrotto range. Unfortunately the range looks large & confusing with no useful comparison or advice on their website. Usage: Close-up & macro work both indoors & on location. Occasional landscape use. Weight: D610 + 105mm f2.8 micro + flash...

Hi I'm currently using Photoshop elements for image editing. For my forthcoming camera upgrade, I checked the price of Lightroom, only to find that it only seems to be available as a Creative Cloud "payment plan". Is this correct, or am I missing something?
