    Screen protectors

    Nikon use to put clip on screen protector on their cameras from the factory but they've stopped doing that. I have a screen protector and its a tempered glass one, very hard and strong. Worth getting for the price and easily replaceable if required. Make sure you get a tempered glass one as...

    Excellent service from MPB

    Ive used them a few times for selling and buying over the years and they've always been top notch. Their quotes are always reasonable and probably better than selling in ebay when you factor in the fees. Would happily recommend them

    Scammers on Amazon (shocker!)

    If you'd bought from a scammer through Amazon, don't they offer you buyers protection though, much like eBay?

    Nikkor 200-500?

    Recently got myself one of these bad boys (after a long debate against the sigma 150-600 sport). Initial impressions is that it's sharp and very handholdable (which I struggled with the sigma). One question, do you normally leave vr on all the time? I previously read somewhere you should turn...

    Wide angle lens options for a Nikon..

    I have the Nikon 18-35 for use with my d750. I compared this with the Nikon 16-35 at the time and went with the 18-35 as its much lighter and cheaper. Supposedly it's sharper on the wide end too. There's no vr but normally as these focal lengths, vr doesn't add much.

    Sigma 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM SPORTS owners thread

    With regards to the weight, I see that the standard hood weighs close to 300g as its made of metal. Has anyone tried any lighter alternatives? The Nikon hk-30 hood is meant to fit and lighter as it's made of carbon fibre but it's around £200!

    The Red Arrows.

    Great shots. Always love the red arrows when they had the air show at leuchars.

    Sports day

    My daughter recently had a sports day at her nursery. I asked the nursery beforehand if I can take photos and they said no. Then a few days before the event they asked me to be the days photographer but on the agreement I had to delete all my images after giving them a copy! On the day there...

    Goodwood FoS Friday

    Excellent set which has almost convinced me the Nikon 200-500 is the lens to get.

    2016 British GP. (Hamilton alert!)

    Excellent set of images. Been to a few races but my images are mediocre compared to yours. Never been to British gp but might consider it.

    Killer Whales

    always wanted to see orcas. Are they up in Shetland quite often? It's only a ferry ride from here (aberdeen)

    How loud is your camera?

    I've found my D750 and the d7200, d7100 and D90 before all has fairly loud shutter 'slap'. Recently tried a D810 and found the shutter noise very dampened.

    Buying a secondhand lens

    With regards to warranty you should check if it's been previously registered with Nikon as i believe it's not transferable. If not, it's uk sourced and they are happy to provide you with proof of purchase, then you should have a better chance for a warranty claim. I have bought used lenses...
