Ahh perfect thanks Gremlin, appreciated. Ryan

Good morning all, I suppose this post is aimed really at a moderator. Just after the reason why my for sale post was removed last night. Just to make sure when I repost in a few days once I get pictures sorted I don't make the same mistake. Or is someone trying to tell me it is unwise and to...

:thinking:

Doh! Just realised you were asking between the 2 35 or 50. 35 all the way. (but 20/24 if that's another option)

20 or 24mm depending on how confident you are with sticking something (potentially) offensive in someones face. Although the tiny D3100 + a 20 3.5 would have little impact and could go unnoticed. Compare it to the 14-24 bolted on to a D3/4/5 (I occasionally go with the D3s 14-24 combo to make my...

Perspex side panel and loads of LEDS >.> Slam it, dustbin exhaust, and tint the perspex so you can't see through it. :jaffa: edit: Don't forget to hand paint racing stripes with green hammerite - this really picks up the pace. Lads on the underground gaming scene reckon its the new overclock.

It bothered me as it would sometimes lock, release torque and it unlocked, but also it had this horrible snorty rattley judder sound. You're right though if it isnt broke dont fix it. I couldnt live with these issues, some may call them minor but the thing was failing and I thought repair it...

As far as I am aware it wasn't caused by a drop. Just loosening runners/rollers along the zoom barrel (excuse the pish terminology I am no lens specialist). I spoke with Nikon prior to sending it off as I was aware this could have been the case, they told be the repair could be roughly £220...

Here's one - Are the pro zoom more prone to failure OR do they get used harder leading to failure more often? O.o

Very consistent with the 24-70 - the additional cost from mine would like be the added materials I requested. The wee front ring and zoom rubber as part of the service. Interestingly, my 14-24 is in perfect functioning order, however even whilst knowing it is a delicate beast, I am getting more...

Hello, Just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was wondering. My zoom was sticking mainly at 50mm, but also sometimes at ~28mm. If I turned the lens upside down it seemed to be pretty smooth. Anyway I knew that it wasn't ok so thought may as well get her off to Nikon for them to look...

If I didn't own the 14-24 2.8 it would be much simpler for me also. Everything from 24mm upwards (other than the occasional product shot) the DR and resolution of the D3 is more than sufficient.

Furthermore - I may "have" to invest in a MFT system that will fit in a peli 1200 for my trips away.... Never ending problem. My names Earl and I have GAS.

GAS. As you can probably tell, the bane of my existence. Funnily, I work away and as much as I LOVE to use my gear and take up every opportunity to do so, I rarely get chance to outside of motorsport season/summer half of the year. Like heroin I am simply scratching an itch that will not go...
