Really nice shot!
Agree mate, fantastic. I've seen another thread on here about what the kit lenses can do. And before anyone says, I know there's some PP on it, but I still like!!
Really nice shot!

what are the best ways to test the body to make sure iv not got a dud?
not read through the entirety of this thread yet
Have been left £2000 to spend on 'my photography' - I cannot see what I need or what I 'wish' but these funds must only go on my hobby !! I have d7100 with 35 1.8 , 24-70 2.8, 105 2.8 micro, 85 1.4 Samyang and 70-300 tamron.
any suggestions?
best from Mikey
ps I'd like a Leica :nono:

Thanks for suggestions - have been thinking of a wide angle to complete coverage - so need to cover from 24mm to ? what do you recommend ? May also take that photo vacation (great idea) . say £1000 each
I've just sent my new d7100 back to amazon for a replacement. Sometimes the auto focussing wouldnt work on my 300 f4 plus 1:4 tc. I would try different settings but nothing would happen. I would then have to switch the camera off and on again and it would then focus no problem. The large LCD screen started flickering as well.
Anybody else have these sort of problems with their d7100.
Regards Gerard.
A friend experienced this same problem on his D7100 when he hired a 1.4tc and borrowed a 300mm f4.the auto focus kept on cutting out and wouldn't work. To cut a long story short after testing several tc's and 300mm f4's it was put down to that individual lens when attached to a tc to his d7100. His d7100 worked fine with another 300mm f4 with the same tc. The strange thing is the lens and 1.4tc combi works fine on other cameras and without a tc attached. i regularly use a 300mm f4 and 1.4 tc and have not experienced any problems so hopefully it will be sorted by changing the camera.
I'm not sure if he experienced the flickering LCD. Do you know anyone else with a d7100 or who has a 300mm f4 so you can test an another lens and tc on your camera?
Ok,
On Thursday I take delivery of my D7100 as well as the Nikon 35mm AF-S f1.8
My D7000 and 300mm f4 AF-S arrived yesterday, within about 10 minutes of motorsport shooting this morning I realised something didn't quite seem right, even just reviewing on the LCD my shots were nowhere near as sharp as I would expect. I'm confident in getting a pretty solid hit rate at very slow shutter speeds, often down to 1/30 or so and on longer lenses than this previously, but it just wasn't happening.
Just to make sure it wasn't me I went well into my safe zone, 1/250 and faster, but I was still getting slightly out of focus shots. I then shot a few static objects such as signs at very fast shutter speeds (1/2000 ish), no matter what I just couldn't get them sharp. Everything seems slightly out of focus.
I've owned at least 6 or 7 cameras and 30+ lenses in the past few years and never had such an immediate and obvious issue, so I don't really know where I go from here...any tips?!
I have no other Nikon gear (cameras or lenses) to see if it's a wider issue.
Have you tried any other lens previously on your d7000? It could need micro adjusting, I know many of my lens did on the d7000. Are both the d7000 and 300 f4 new to you? I've had to micro adjust most of my lenses with my d7000 most around -10 to -17 so they were all a little out.
Anyone with the Meike grip on their D7000, can you tell me if you can use the battery from the camera in the grip and leave the camera empty?
I don't fancy extra weight from an extra battery but like the grip for it's ergonomics.
You can, I do
That's great, thanks, saves taking off the grip to recharge, which was the main thing stopping me buying as well.
You can, I do
Great info, never knew it was possible.
Sussed my focus issues with my new D7000 and 300mm f4. Focus tracking with lock-on was switched on (set at the middle value I think), as soon as I switched it off it was like my camera had finally come alive...

In what way?
I have just begun the process to officially become an owner of a D7000 and the kit 18-105 lens bought from ghop99 on here!
So I thought I'd sign up to this thread as I'm rather excited!
