Had one...won't buy another. Mounting screw managed to undo itself and camera dropped...dead!

I have the same pairing on a Nikon D7000 and agree with the sentiments above. Very happy with both the lens and the teleconverter. Neil

Aha....i stand corrected...apologies.:oops:

The modelling flash as its known in Nikon terminology can be turned off in the menu....wife has the camera so cant tell you the exact menu..but can definitely be done. Neil

I've just taken punt on one of these from the states....will try and remember to post up some results when it arrives.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370942364208?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I purchased a cover for my Siggy 70-200 2.8 from rainydays2008...excellent quality materials and the owner, Tony, IIRC, is extremely helpful and very quick to despatch. LINK: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/rainydays2008/m.html Highly recommended Neil

Foggy day? ;-) Cant see picture either!

Wow....my Dad used to be the Estates Manager for the Wildfowl Trust and was based at Slimbridge. He worked closely with Sir Peter Scott during the 80's. Must go back again...used to go all the time when i was a kid but must have changed beyond recognition now I guess. Neil

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8....its what I have and is a fantastically sharp lens at all apertures. I know for landscape 2.8 is not relevant but for indoor shots, churches etc it makes a huge difference. Built like an aircraft carrier too....dropped mine when it was on my old D300....camera smashed but...

I have the Nikon 17-55 on a D7000 body and its a fantastic piece of glass indeed! Still have the 16-85VR that needs selling now. The 17-55 is sooo sharp it almost hurts, especially around F4...F2.8 is also very sharp too. I also have the Tokina 11-16 which is also a stellar piece of engineering...

Its to do with the actual quality of the signal received and sent....something called 'jitter' and 'packet loss'.....less is obviously better!:D

all good here too!!

Excellent pictures Andy.....takes me back to our honeymoon when we did the exact same trip. Went over Tioga Pass too.....down to Mono Lake then Death Valley to Vegas etc etc. Your pics are way better than mine though!!

I like these a lot....especially #3...it has an almost Christmassy feel to it. Very nice.

One One of the 'holy trinity'....Nikon 24-70 f2.8 VR.....for full frame cameras. EDIT...my mistake.no VR! Sorry....
