A battery grip and a couple of extra batteries for my Fuji XT4 if I can find some decent 3rd party ones. Reluctant to pay £60 for a single battery.

I saw a review which had the same complaint, not a deal breaker for me as it'll be on a sling 99% of the time.

That's exactly the sort of recommendation I was looking for. Will get it ordered later. Thanks

Took em long enough. Wouldn't recommend anyone visits at the minute though, just drove past and its all fenced off for construction work.

Holy thread revival....completely forgot I'd posted this in here, life (and covid) got in the way over the last few years so not much time for photography. Just returned to the forum and the expensive hobby this last week. Moved from Nikon to Fuji, still undecided whether it was a good move...

Any recommendations for aftermarket lens feet for the 100-400? Seen a few online ranging from cheap to pretty expensive. One I'm looking at in particular is by ishoot.

That's the one yes, Featherstone in West Yorkshire. Place is literally on my doorstep but have never taken the time to visit before. Will be returning in the next few weeks to hopefully grab a sunrise shot.

I've recently picked up a Fuji XP140 for my 9 year old daughter's first camera. She absolutely loves it. It's very robust (shock and waterproof) and takes a suprisingly decent photo. I throw it on auto mode for her currently and she happily snaps away.

Ventured out for what felt like the first time in ages with the camera last night to check out a local WW1 memorial I've been meaning to visit for a while.

If I'm not lugging my bag around I'll chuck my 50mm f1.4 on the D750 and have my 24mm f2.8 in my jacket pocket. Covers me for pretty much most things I'd want to shoot whilst out and about. Considering a 35mm f2, to balance the weight of my jacket out lol

Might have only saved a couple of quid, but every penny saved is a bonus

I hope they didn't charge extra for the Arctic MX-4 Thermal compound, especially when you're paying for a Noctua cooler. Noctua thermal paste (which is included with their coolers) is well known for being pretty much the best paste you can use.

So it arrived today. Glad I listened to everyone's advice, initial impressions are great. Sharper than I hoped, even sharper than my trusty Nikon 24-70 f2.8 Autofocus accuracy seems good so far from my limited testing, looking like I've got a good copy that needs no adjustments (touch wood)...

Samson SR850s are a great budget choice. Not fully open backed so noise leakage is minimal. Have a sound quality that far exceeds their price. Replaced mine now with Fidelio X2RS but wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair.

I toyed with the idea of one of these for my 9 year old daughter as she'd been asking for a camera for her birthday. Eventually opted for a Fuji XP140 for her and I give her a small print budget every month to get whatever shots printed out that she likes. Will work out cheaper in the long run...
