Anyone here tried Samyang 50mm f1.2 for portraits. I have a XE1 and waiting for XT2 and any opinion welcome. Thanks

Ask a friend over here in UK to buy for you and then collect from here in person, problem solved...;)

Recieved mail from Nikon;) "Dear Customer, Our records show that you are a registered owner of a D3 Digital SLR camera. We would like to inform you that there is a new firmware update available for your camera. ------ ------NIKON EUROPE"

I have used it last year. It is a good and heavy head built well and should last. Since then changed to RRS head and carbon fibre tripod due to weight issues..;)

Value for money - RSH12 Ballhead and its not bad...you get a decent head for cheap ofcourse it is not RRS stuff.;)

there you go... 309 Euros http://www.feisoleurope.com/feisol-tournament-tripod-ct3342-rapid-p-30.html :thumbs:

I bought it from UK stockist in December. definitely would suggest Rapid version, have you tried EU site?

me too, received NPU card yesterday after almost a year...:D

I have recently bought CT-3342 Rapid version and use it with RRS Ballhead. Very light and strong setup for my D3 and primes, highly recommend it for the price...:thumbs:

Not cheap but excellent value for money... compared to gitzo 1 series. Traveller Tripods - CT-3441SB - Traveller I use their Tournament CT-3342 Tripod with RRS BH-30 head, very light combination for travel and hiking... Kemp

Have just bought a Feisol CT3342 and a RRS ball head, very light set up. Will be using this overseas in December and I recommend feisol tripods to anyone who wants to save a little over gitso but almost same permanence...;)

Was going to order Q3 head and pleasantly price is down to 255 Euros compared to 283 yesterday...;) https://www.photoproshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/602

That is fantastic price compared to UK dealers;)

I own 25mm and 35mm Zeiss lenses. They are different to Nikon primes if not better. Have tried a 21mm and its in a different league if you can afford. I didn't like the focal length and am happy with other wides I have. Just visit FM forums (search) and there are many threads on 21mm...:D

Has any one heard about this model: Giottos MT 8223-50 Carbon Fibre Tripod. I can't find in their website and this one is on ..bay and not sure about it's details. I was actually looking into MT 8240B for travel as my Redsnapper is not that light to go on a two week trip... Cheers.;)
