Sold my Nikon gear to them this week. Perfect transaction from start to finish. OK I could probably have made a couple of quid more selling privately but for me the hassle of fending off daft offers and numerous trips to the Post Office was not something I was prepared to engage with.

I too have sold to MPB this week. Fabulous service from start to finish.

Not on my Nikon its not. Auto doesn't override BBF. Shame really. My workaround is to programme one of the user settings.

By way of an update. The 80-400 was very tempting but I could not justify the cost for what I do. The 70 - 200 F4 is still a contender but I went for the 70-300 P version on the basis that ; it retails at £519, with £90 cash back and £175 part ex for my old G version, all up cost to me...

Stewart. I think you might be on to something here. I have cropped heavily without even realising and have pushed the 300mm end more than usual.

I only got to thinking about the P version of the 70-300 when the price drop and cash back was mentioned on here. I cant justify the latest f2.8 E for the little use I will give it but I think I'm back on track for the f4 ( + teleconvertor). Cheers.

Thanks for your reply. The problem I have with my current 70-300 is a lack of sharpness although it was fine on the D7200. I have heard of others having similar issues. I like your idea of the 70 - 200 coming into play before the 24-120 maxes out. I also hadn't considered the teleconverter...

I was always happy with my Nikon 70 - 300 G lens on my D7200 but since moving to a D750 I've become disappointed with its capabilities. I was original considering replacing it with the 70 - 200 f4 but then thought I would miss the range through to 300mm (especially coming from a crop body (yes I...

Thought I had major shutter malfunction today. Took me 10 mins to realise I had it set to timer. Doh. Really should use this camera more.

I use one with a Think Tank holster with lens pouch (70-300) hanging off the side. Works a treat.

Tokina 11-16. Probably have to go a little more than £200 though.

The genuine Capture Clip will easily carry a DSLR and decent lens. Been using mine for a couple of years now without any problems whatsoever.

Have you looked at Peak Design products? They do a clip that would attach to the strap of your existing rucksack at the front.

Oops . Now edited, thanks
