Thanks for all the advice. Having said I want to stay with Nikon, I'm a bit loved up with the Pentax K1 now! I might have to reassess my budget....

Yes, sorry, my actual quandary is whether I should invest in a full frame body or go for cropped sensor and plough my budget into a recent body with maximum ISO.

Good evening gang, I've not been on here for a while. I'm looking to getting back into DSLR photography after a break of about five years. I'm traditionally Nikon and am looking at them again. Being mainly interested in landscape and a bit of architecture my question is, should I invest in a...

Just wondering how useful vibration reduction is in landscape work when using a tripod most of the time. I am faced with a Nikon 70-300 lens without VR sub £100, or £3-400 with. Any opinions would be valued. If I stick to non-VR I can buy a bag of lenses for the price of one or two with it...

Thank you, I will have a play with that.

Thanks everyone who helped with this - much appreciated.

I have to get this off my chest: I have just spent an enjoyable day at the Branch Line Weekend run by the excellent Bluebell Railway in Sussex. The event was superb with everything beautifully laid on and the volunteer staff faultless in the welcome they gave and their sense of commitment...

I'm a little curious about these panoramic heads. I have not seen one in the flesh but only seen them in magazines. I understand how you set the sliders up so that the camera pivots around the front lens, but does it also do this when you pan vertically? It is difficult to tell from the pictures...

I would appreciate any views on the best devices for cutting photo paper up to A2 size. I have looked on Ebay and in other places at guillotines as well as trimmers. You can spend a little or a lot of money. Any pointers would be very welcome. I am not talking a large volume of work but I do...

Ah yes, Kinder downfall. I climbed down that in brogues a few years ago, and received a filthy look from a 'serious' climber dressed in all the gear. almost as though I was letting the side down...
