Can be an issue done up really tight, but mine was secure enough while hanging out the side of a safari jeep
Do you like it?
Yeah, I got the pack with the Slide and the Clutch, always have the Clutch on the camera. Doesn't need tightened right up to feel secure, but when fully tight, I'd struggle to use the BBF button.
Just noticed one of these in LCE in Nottingham. Quite cheap!
Is it the 180mm you are talking about?
It's not a particularly expensive lens, but thinking it will make a nice addition to my portrait collection !
It should compliment the 85 and the 135, as I got rid of my zooms, so the 80-200 has gone.
If you didn't have the heavy Art lenses then you wouldn't need support...
Handled the 16-35 today. It's a niiiice lens.
Yes. Was £350. No idea if that's cheap but i thought so? They had a 60mm f2.8 d in also for £140!
Had a wander out at 3am with the camera as you do...

Didn't really know what i was doing but figured it out in the end.
65 shots, 20 seconds, f4.5, iso 1000.
I think using a lighter lens would have been preferable as it was quite windy and on the side of the road so when a car came past i think the tripod wobbled a little. Need to find a better location but i didn't want to drive for a hour only to get there and not really know what i was doing. This was 5 minutes away from home so I'm quite happy with it as a test run.

You need to get out to the middle of nowhere really.
Hey guys I'm a bit late to the party, and apologies if this had been asked in one of the previous 7976 posts!
I currently use a D810 and am looking for a second body for use at weddings. I have a D600 which is my current second body, but the button layout really pees me off when I'm so used to the D810.
For example, two features I use all the time on the D810 which I can't on the 600 are 100% zoom in the centre joypad button, and ISO control on the movie record button.
Can someone tell me if the D750 is able to do these functions, or is it still the same as the D600?
Also are there many other ergonomic differences that might hinder a seamless transition between both the 810 and 750?
TIA
It does have these functions. I went from a D700/D800 to a D750 and was fine. Some complain about the location of the "AF on button" if you BBF. The D750 imo offers a lot of useful features over the other D7/8xx series. Best bet is to try the camera if youre very concerned about ergonomics.
I'd be interested to know what you feel are the "lot of useful features over the D7/8xx series.
Genuine question, as I am coming from a D700, which I will keep as a backup, but I am having a hard time deciding between D750 or D810.
I've used them both, and they are both amazing upgrades from the D700.
However, the ergonomics of the D750 didn't feel quite right for me, so instead of buying the 750, I'm saving for the D810, even though I don't need all those pixels.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
Gary.
U1 / U2 presets on mode dial, wifi, flippy screen, weight/size, deep grip, image colour / tones straight out of camera, lower light AF system, faster fps, better low light SOOC, 24MP is also more than enough for me. So quite a bit.
You're quite right, these are all features not available on the D810, but I don't see them all as advantages.
U1/U2 presets, yes, they are brilliant.
wifi - no interest to me
flippy screen - maybe, but can live without it (although I agree it could be something I get used to?)
weight/size - I am the opposite on this one. I quite like bigger camera bodies, I've got big hands !
deep grip - agree, comfortable to hold, but I always have a grip attached anyway. no BBF button is a minus IMHO
image colour SOOC - I shoot raw, so they can be tweaked in LR.
Lower light AF - true, it is better on the 750, but TBH I have never had a problem with low light focus even on the D700. If I did, I used my SU- 800 on the camera.
That lets me Focus in pitch black then !
fps - I don't need speed, if I do, I can use the 700. But for people, not needed.
Better low light - agreed, 750 is brilliant, but the 810 isn't too shabby either.
As I said, I realise others will disagree, and that's fine too.
Each to their own and all.
I really wanted the D750 to be the one for me, as I have the cash for that now.
And no, I really am not trying to be argumentative here, just highlighting the fact that with all of the choices/features/technology available to us with these cameras, sometimes the actual choice is down to something not as easily defined.
Plus, I'm cr@p at making a decision !!!

Thanks for that. So there is no exposure lock available if you use the button for focusing?
I think you are right, i need to try one really.
Don't suppose there are any Swindon or west Oxfordshire based owners in here that would allow me to have a play with one?
i'm in the same quandary, currently using a D7000 which I've had since the day it was launched and just don't know which to get D750 or D810, how does the buffers compare - with my D7000 I am often waiting for it to write to the card after the dozen or show raw shots have filled the buffer.

What are peoples thoughts on the 16-35mm f4 and 85mm f1.8 as a landscape combo?
Thanks.
TBF there has been a few 24-70's and D750's aswell...

The 16-35 is a good lens. I think the problem is it's a very wide focal length to wide focal length so for landscapes you need another longer lens in the bag. The problem then is its likely to be a 24-something lens so your gaining 8mm. It depends on your usage. There does seem to be several recent but before that it's not that often I've seen them. It's 77mm so takes filters well compared to the 14-24mm lens.I see a lot of 16-35 being sold and bought via the classifieds. That means its either poor or popular, depending on when you look. hth
There also seems to be several D750s for sale recently too for some reason.
