what is the defect meant to be like? i have the 120-400 with a serial number in that range and now and again mine hunts for no particular reason especially at the 400 end. it does it quite rarely and i havent found that i have been missing shots or anything...... what have others been told when...

exactly what i do, i have 3 four gb cards and a couple of 2 gb cards that all live in my bag - all various ages and speeds but it got the capacity just wouldnt like to loose a whole days worth of pics, half a day is bad but liveable.......

a couple of genuine nikon batteries (online) will prob be worth the punt and i would prob use them when im at home anyway. The hand warmers is a good idea, and yeah i will contact nikon's tech dept monday see what they say!

and massive budgbets for the best gear....... I should be ok, my brother took a D40 snowboarding once and that was about -6 celsius and he didnt bother doing anything special and it still works fine.... surely if im carefule with the 90 it will survive!

yeah for sure. i think im gonna get a peli 1500 and a few genuine nikon batteries and see what happens. not going to bother with a grip cos i cant see the point. the only bonus would be the aa capability. cool :D *better get to see the flipping northern lights* ed

cool thats an idea, i was planning on either a) investing on a battery grip (so i can use aa's) b) just buying two more d90 batteries and keeping them in an inside pocket and periodically swapping them out will putting the camera inside a dry bag to let it re-acclimatise to the warmth of...

Im going to LapLand in a few months on a Snowmobile expedition to basically photograph the northen lights, the reindeer, huskies and the Sami people. so a mix of fast and long shutters speeds However the temperature im concerned about, not for me, but my equipment. At the time of year im...

the vulcan is fit. No question. So glad one is flying :) Super lucky chap, and great shots!

thanks very much! I do love the colour reproduction of this tokina lens!

thats great! it sure is a lovely lens, found mine was best around f11. Yes it will be a long journey, but my god, it makes you look at the world differently!

Cheers :thumbs:

cheers! :thumb

I *think* macro photography is actually called 'micro' if your being scientific about it. Read it in the Amateur Photographer that Brian Valentine has done a massive section on Macro in. The is a description of what is macro photography

Number 3 is my favourite one :)
