It’s an excellent forum and I hope it continues in some form, thank you for your commitment and work on it over the years, and to all the mods who keep it running smoothly.

Thanks Cuchulainn, sounds about right now I’ve tried it, pretty good but not the fastest, that’s fine for me though, quality over speed anytime.

Picked up a Primefilm 7250u on my travels for scanning negs. Anyone used one?

Probably my first SLR in the 80s, a Zenit B, being all manual and pretty basic meant you couldn’t leave any decisions up to the camera, excellent for learning. Also weighed a tonne so good for fitness :)

Thanks. Good to know.

Hi, can I ask what kind of issues you had with the Neewer batteries in your D500? Thanks

Welcome. Greetings from Ayrshire!

Thanks, both very helpful and backing up my thoughts that the Nikon is the one to go for. Cheers.

Having bought Nick's D500 on here I'm wanting to upgrade my main walkabout zoom lens soon, currently using a Nikon 16-85 f3.5/5.6 VR. Has anyone compared the Nikon 16-80 f2.8/4 ED VR with the Sigma 17-50 f2.8 OS EX DC HSM ? The Sigma is tempting due to the constant 2.8 aperture and lower price...

Thanks everyone, that's giving me confidence to order from them.

Has anyone bought from e-infinity? Price for a D500 seems very good but I don't know the company at all. Hong Kong HQ but with UK warehouse it seems. https://www.e-infin.com/uk/item/2954/nikon_d500_digital_slr_camera_body_(kit_box)

I use it for sport etc but not otherwise. Takes a bit of getting used to but well worth persevering with it.

Welcome Callum. Ayrshire here too!

Too slow for the OM4Ti :(
