Just caught this one! I saw an absolutely wonderful green fireball that lasted for at least a second, would have been a tremendous trail...but was JUST OUT OF FRAME!!! Nooooooooo. Lots of them tonight but it's getting the clouds to stay out of the damn way! Exciting, but tired now. :(

The Siggy is absolutely stunning. I have it for my D7000 and it's on my camera 90% of the time.

Hi all. You can get both the Camidox and the SRB ND filters from the link below if you want to avoid eBay for any reason. Both are equally cheap and apparently (so these guys say) the SRB's are good.. http://srb-griturn.co.uk/nd1000---camdiox-1069-c.asp EDIT: I mean really, I should read...

Feisol CT-3301 Carbon Tripod, Cullmann Magnesit MB6, Novoflex Q=Mount, a Peak Performance Capture Pro v2 with Arca Plate and a box of chocolates for the missus as thanks....start the fans please!

Mounted on the tripod it's just perfect the way it's worked out. The diameter of the ballhead pefectly fits the diameter of the Feisol CT-3301 platform. A quick twist on and the ballhead is secure. I made sure the panning knob was suitably locked and boy does it lock tight without much...

Just a wee update - I decided to try the long spikes to see just how difficult a process it was, and it wasn't. I locked off the smallest section and with a little bit of a push, the rubber end cap was removed. This revealed another metal cap with a threaded hole on the end, on to which the...

Hi Jan, How do I do that? I tried initially to put it there but I ain't got them privilages!

Thanks antc. The weather has delayed the ball-head arriving which is bums, but hey ho. Can't wait to get out on some hills with this bad boy!

In Use This is an initial review to get initial thoughts out there before I use it in the field. However it's a total cinch to set up, extending legs is effortless with the rapid versions, one hand can undo both leg locks and then extending them out is simple. Quick half to full turn to lock...

Hi Here's some samples of my D7k with Sigma 50mm f/1.4, no PP and with -4 AF fine tune. Shot at f/5, 1/800 with -0.7EV ISO400 and 100% crop I can't want for any more sharpness straight from this camera and lens combo. Magical! :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Hi all I'm back after over 3 years away from DSLR's. I used to have a Canon 450D and used a few lenses in my time including L's and a lot of Sigmas. Anyway I ended up selling most of my lenses due to lack of funds and ended up with the 450D body sitting in the cupboard...so I sold...
