    A few of us chipped in and bought a Puch pedal motorbike in the 70's and used it on the Ash playing fields at our local school. The days of using pedals for using a motorbike. !! The photo @justpix posted seems to be a lot older bike.?

    I would also consider the Sony 20-70mm f4. As you post a lot of seascapes would the wide end of 20mm be better for your use and reduce your stitching of panoramas?

    I have used the Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 on Nikon Z and my copy wasn't great wide open, so I bought the Z 70-200mm f2.8 which was a brilliant lens and highly rated. Since moving over to Sony earlier in the year, I have bought the Sony 70-200mm F4 Macro and I'm really impressed so far and it takes...

    I thought I read somewhere the remotes would be different for the two cameras. I will give the Creators App a go next week as I have loaded both cameras into the App and it seems fine using it around the home. Any problems and I will manually set the cameras like @woof woof mentioned in his...

    The Hawkchurch Resort which I mentioned earlier could be more suitable. It's set in the Country side and is tree lined on the road leading to the properties and there's plenty of countryside around the resort. Also, it's close to the Jurassic Coast which I also like photographing. Finally it's...

    The usual things with lens, Distortion, CA, Vignetting etc... I should have made myself more clear. My main concern would have been the Viltrox 16mm

    It's a Sony App for controlling your camera. It's free to download from the App Store. We stay a couples of miles out of Wadebridge/Padstow area. We stay at the Retallack Resort in one of their Barns. It's our third visit this year. We are then going to Hawkchurch Resort in November and New...

    Some advice please. We're off to Cornwall for ten days on Monday and I have bought a NISI 82mm Long Exposure Kit for some photos I have in mind, (estuaries) this is all new to me as my favourite Genre of photography is Birds/Wildlife. I have been playing around with the Creators App at home...

    I'm not going to buy anything until next spring and hopefully the Sony 600mm f6.3 will have plenty of user reviews by then. On the Nikon Z version I'm sure I have read that the lens can be a bit hit and miss in regard to sharpness, so the hopefully there isn't any major sample variations on the...

    IIRC you bought one after I did from FFordes when I was recommended one on here. Not sure if it should make much of a difference but haven't you recently changed your camera body :thinking:

    Thanks for the reply. I had the Nikon 400mm f4.5 lens and 1.4TC when I had my Nikon Z8 & ZF along with the 180-600mm lens. I nearly always had the 1.4TC bolted onto the 400mm lens but I wasn't super wowed with the performance even after trying three 1.4 TC. As a 400mm prime on it's own it was...

    Anyone using the 300mm f2.8 lens and 2.0TC combo and if so, could you share thoughts on the setup please?
