no risk of getting hit with any import/VAT bill and it's morally satisfying to support British retail.

There's no risk with VAT etc, morals on the other hand........

Panamoz says on their website Includes VAT which is good enough for me and I got mine with 3 year warranty, all UK plugs etc exactly as I could have picked up from WEX Cameraworld etc etc.and with the kit lens and a spare battery it was about £500 cheaper.

even if you use a third party to buy, i'm still liable as the "importer"? I don't fancy the risk of handing in my tax return to HMRC next year and they ask for more details...

I managed to hold of a d750 from London Camera Exchange on Monday (new), they were showing 4 in stock, but they may have gone now.

Companies like Digital Rev pay it all upfront I believe, HDEW have stock already in the UK, and Panamoz take full responsibility of any duties. How HMRC look at this I've no idea.
Away to London tmr for 4 days so hopefully will get some use of my camera and hopefully it doesn't go totally tits up on the trip as the shutter hanging and black images is becoming more frequent. 
Taking my 24-70 and 35 i think. though I'm not sure if i should switch the 35 for the 85 or if i should take my tripod..its mainly a family trip.

Tripods may not be allowed in many places in London even out in the some streets or parks. If its a family trip I'd be tempted with either only taking the 24-70 or just take the two primes (35 and 85).Away to London tmr for 4 days so hopefully will get some use of my camera and hopefully it doesn't go totally tits up on the trip as the shutter hanging and black images is becoming more frequent.

Wasn't for me for me - he went and got a 6D instead. Now got to help choose his lenses for 'us'

That should be a laugh, you don't know which lenses to get for yourself let alone some other poor sod.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone!
Could be worse... I could have got myself a thread ban
As required. Mostly Auto though.

Agree as certain shots may require a certain mode. However, I have been shooting in manual for a couple of years now and somehow got used to it. I guess part of it is due to doing a lot of flash photography at some point where manual mode is almost mandatory unless using HSS.
Yup, thats also when I use manual most.

I shoot sunsets in full manual mode without auto ISO. As the sun gets lower its the only way to keep the actual colour of the sun realistic as it is a difficult situation for the camera to get it right.

Whatever works for each us.
It's funny few years ago a tog friend of mine told me to practice manual mode with spot metering. It was such a pain initially and he knew that it would be pain, but slowly I started understanding the power of manual and spot metering and eventually fiddling with the camera light meter didn't matter anymore. There is a great article to spot meter with different types of skin tones. It was a hard learning process, but I enjoyed it.
Having said that with digital sensors these days, I have to say Aperture priority is perhaps the most efficient mode (one less parameter to worry about). Shooting manual and with auto ISO and record button mapped to ISO, I particularly find manual mode on the D750 very quick compared to Aperture priority. But, that is how my brain is wired now.

I use manual mode with auto ISO a lot. I use it instead of shutter priority as I always want control of aperture no matter what.
As in full auto?
As above, I use manual with auto ISO so I can control aperture as well. There's no way I want aperture stopping down to f5.6 when using my 70-200mm f2.8
As in full auto?
Yeah, didnt you know, green means pro.

You're mixing the green camera with the P.
I can't comment on use with that lens but the Kenko DG tubes I have worked with all functions with all the lenses I've used them with.
