    Just picked up A Nikon D700 and went out to get to grips with it in my local town of Wigan.

    Up on the hill

    Local road running over winter hill between Belmont and Rivington in the NW, it's an old haunt of Top Gear and a favourite with local bikers, I try to get up there when I have spare time and it's a good place to try new stuff. A few from this Sunday. Was being lazy and just shot with a 50 / 1.8

    Lens suitable for D2X

    I use a D2x and yep, Any Nikon compatible lens works fine including the latest ones.

Mine has the...
