I'm sure this topic has been covered before and I've been reading some old posts but looking for up to date opinions. My D7100 has always frustrated me for its few weaknesses which I have always felt undermined its many strengths. Mainly the slowish fps and extremely small buffer. I also feel...

Hi Folks, It has been a very long time since I posted on here and the main reason is because I haven't been doing much photography. However my sister has decided to get married during the pandemic and has asked me to take pictures during the ceremony. Now wedding photography is something I...

I'm going to be travelling for a year or so from June and have pretty much decided that taking my DSLR kit will be too cumbersome, expensive to ensure and generally a bit risky with the type of travelling I'll be doing. Photography is not the primary purpose and I don't expect to want to sell...

Hi folks, I'm going to be taking a year long, more like 14 months, career break travelling around New Zealand and also spending a short time in New Zealand. I'd love to take the following gear with me but fear it will be too expensive to insure: D7100 200-500mm + 11-16mm and maybe one other...

So it looks like my most recent purchase, a used Kenko 1.4X Teleplus Pro 300 has been stolen or is at least lost in transit. I ordered it last Thursday from London Camera Exchange Lincoln branch and arranged UPS next day delivery (£7) to my local store in Newcastle. I could have ordered it to my...

and probably beyond it! A fantastic evening spent in and around Tivendens National Park, Sweden on a "Moose Safari". After a walk with our guide to see Black and Red Throated Loons/divers we went to his camp in the forest for a campfire meal, a few drinks and an informal presentation on moose...

I've just reluctantly sold a couple of family heirlooms that see no use and would like to put the £270 towards a wide angle lens for my D7100 but also potentially for my/wifes D3200 too. My overall budget is around £350 and I've all but made my mind up about getting a Tokina 11-16mm but which...

I'm hoping to be able to sell some prints online and I'm looking for the most cost effective, straightforward (for me and potential buyers) way of doing it. Currently I print my photos through PhotoBox.co.uk and I'm happy with the quality that I'm getting. Recently I noticed that they offer a...

On Monday I was lucky enough to spot 2 fox cubs as they ran back into their earth (the name for a fox den in case anyone was wondering). So I went back on Tuesday morning and found a good spot close to the earth and downwind, where I could set up a makeshift hide with some camo netting, ready...

I've been looking online at Lowepro bags, specifically the Flipside 200, 300 and 400 bags. I don't know for sure which one I want for sure as no bricks and mortar shops near me sell them (have they been discontinued?) so I can't look at one directly. In any case I can buy them from Amazon.co.uk...

Seems to outperform it's Canon rival comfortably, great autofocus results and very good IQ. It doesn't seem to be all that much ahead of the D7200 noise wise at higher Iso's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a6hWuPd74U

This has been said before but I wanted to share my experience with a Black Rapid copy failing. Last year I didn't heed warnings and bought this Focus strap from ebay Focus F-1 Quick Rapid Shoulder Sling Belt Neck Strap For Camera SLR DSLR Black | eBay. The quality actually seemed very good but...

Good deal or not?? So I was just looking at the Nikkor 200-500mm on Amazon UK and noticed that they offer 0% finance on qualifying orders on selected items. Now it states "cameras" as selected items but I think that may also include lenses, I'd need to check. 0% is 24 months for orders over...

I just picked up what I think is an awesome new camera bag for £29.99, a Goji Adventure. I bought it from PC World/Currys but hadn't seen it in store before and I can't find it listed anywhere online either which is curious. Anyway it has lots of room for gear, I just fit two bodies, one with...

I love my 55mm but for photographing insects like butterflies but it really isn't long enough. As a result I've been thinking about getting a Sigma 105mm or Tamron/Tokina equivalents. But is this one situation where I have a shortcut that will save me lots of money and not leave me disappointed...

Could an admin edit the title to read "Super sharp 55mm vs 70-300mm" please. Thanks I took some shots of a juvenile house sparrow today and it threw up an interesting comparison. It allowed me to get quite close and as the 55mm was on my D7100 I grabbed that and took a few shots before it...

Portrait photography isn't something I'm all that into, unless its taking a picture of my wife like this. So I don't practice much and don't really know what I'm trying achieve for the most part. So what is good about this shot and what do I need to work on? My only thought when taking this...

Sometimes my 70-300mm isn't enough reach, limiting my ability to get the shots I'm after. In a year or so after some serious saving I'll look to either buy a 300mm f/4 with 1.4 teleconvertor or a Tamron 150-600. The sigma 150-600 contemporary may also be an option but I'd need to find out some...

Hi folks, Just done a quick search on here but didn't find much about Nikon E series lenses, so I thought I'd start a thread to see what experiences people have had with them and general impressions and opinions about them. I'm aware that they were a cheaper option with a more plastically feel...
