the MPB forum shows an error now. Will it be available? It’s important that people can see other people’s experiences with them - good and bad.

If you think you’ll use the iPad as your main editing machine and you can afford it, go for the 12.9 inch version. The extra screen size will make a big difference. Start at the M1 12.9 version, that will give you at least another 5 years of support and updates and be able to handle RAW edits...

I think I’d put up with a delay if the work was free. I guess at least we know any repairs are done to a good standard when being done by the manufacturer. Although I used to say that about Mercedes…

Contains images of broken kit that could be distressing . I did go to A&E after a couple of days, they found a brain which is about as much as could be expected.

Thought people might be interested in the Nikon repair service. Took the 3 week old, brand new Z7 out for the first time in late August . Slipped on some rocks but thought I’d been able to hold it up in the air enough to save it. Bashed my head, few minutes unconscious but only a little blood...

For future reference when you get a new apple device they boost your iCloud storage for 30 days to allow a backup and restore. Storage on the old device (not memory) is ok unless there’s less than 1gb free - if you’re at less than 1gb free space it’ll cause glitches.

That’s excellent value, they cost more than that on eBay!

Don’t think I’ve seen Gary Gough mentioned in this thread. A mix of Heaton-esque out and about with tutorial.

And just to bring this to a close, my z 7 and 24-70 lens arrived this morning. Massive overkill for now but will hopefully serve me well for years. The car also needed about a grands worth of maintenance on it this week so I'm going to lock my cards away in the loft now.

Green Flag. Their prices are often cheaper than the others and you can ask them to mark you as vulnerable so you will (in theory) be prioritised should you call them. My wife works for an insurance company so sees the complaints metrics which are low. She also gets Green Flag cover discounted...
