I've a D810 and the Z7 since it was released. I can hand on heart say that the D810 has never been out of my bag since I got the Z. I absolutely love the size and I find the performance is dead on for what I do - certainly the focusing is every bit as fast as the D810. That said I know the D850...

Hi all, I'm big into rc planes and helicopters and want to get much better video of the flying this year and so have begun looking very seriously at a gimbal head. I'd looked initially at the Benro GH2 at the lower end and the Gitzo at my top end but then found the Benro GH5C and like the look...

I see Panamoz claim to have stock but that would be going down the grey route.

I must admit I'm getting tired of waiting. Checked LCE but they are out again. I understand that Park only got a few of their pre-orders this week and WEX told me they are expecting stock in November but no idea when. As I see it it is very bad for the dealers if that is the way the...

I spoke to Park Cameras today and they thought they may have stock at the end of the week but that you applied to Nikon for the XQD card. Since I don't have any I don't want that. I also spoke to WEX as my order is with them and they say they hope to have the stock in the next few weeks. They...

Rang them there to see. They have just got some bodies in but no adapters or even Z mount lenses as I would have gone that route either unfortunately. Will put my pre-order in and hope I don't have to wait long. Thanks

I thought the release date was at the end of September there and the initial stock was gone. Maybe you are right and I'm jumping the gun. I thought the like of LCE did a hands on already. I'm in NI so not many camera shops to look in! Stevie

Hi all, I want to buy a Nikon Z7 and the ZTF adapter as quickly as possible. I think I've tried all the usual online shops but does anyone know if there is stock anywhere in the UK for immediate delivery? I could even be talked into the 24-70 if it speeded things up. Unfortunately I waited...

Had heard of the Laowa but discounted it on price. In fairness it has been a good year for ultra wide! Just a bit away from round in that sample alright.

I see that Irix do an 11mm as well - pity they are manual focus but for the quality of the lens they appear to be great value. You could be very right on 12mm distorting the boat interiors way to much - I've noticed 16mm doing that a lot especially the way further away objects narrow. Tricky to...

Hi Graham, I'll be honest and say I never even considered it. Will look into it. Stevie

Hi Nod, Thanks very much for the reply - appreciate it. How do you find the 12-24 from a sharpness point of view? Tbh I would expect any of the Sigma Art's to be good if the primes are anything to go by! You are definitely right that you can't expect to go that wide and not have some strange...

Hi guys, I use a D810 and for my ultra wide angle jobs I use the Nikkor 16-35 f/4. The 16-35 is ok for the interior type photography I do but just not great in the corners. At the weekend I used it at a dinner to take photographs of people who wanted their whole (round) table in the picture and...

Hi folks, Have any of you bought the new Yonguo 968 (especially if you are a Nikon shooter) yet? My current Speedlite needs replaced (a two plus year old Meike) and I'm thinking of going to a Yongnuo this time as I'm intrigued by the LED panel on the front and some of the other features. Any...

Thanks Jemima and ST4. Appreciate the comments. The last shot really was that foggy - was unreal that morning. Needless to say we didn't go out in the boat!!
