Ooh, thanks for that. That is an interesting idea - hadn't thought I could do anything about it myself. Might give that a go and report back.

I know that there are only three and have seen somewhere that Nikon UK farms out the repair of some equipment to some of these. I was wondering if anyone had any experience that might suggest one was better (or worse) than the others.

I seem to have a problem with my Nikon D600. I found that the lens mount was stiff in mounting lenses, the camera was not opening up the aperture to full for focusing and my 24mm D and 50mm non-G primes showed an fEE error for the aperture. I bit of investigation showed that the lens mount was...

Been having a bit of a clear out and have just come across half a dozen rolls of Fuji Sensia slide film. It has just been sitting in a box, not a fridge or anything. I have not shot film for probably ten years. Is it likely to be of any use for anything other than the bin? I think some of them...

First, this might be better in the business forum. Mods, feel free to move if that is the case. I Need to put together a small album of wedding pictures. Probably about 40 sides. I would like to produce something that has an air of quality so would ideally like a white leather binding. A search...

Those F-Stop bags look pretty nice and I like the idea of being able swap between ICUs depending on whether I wanted all my kit or just some of it with some extra space. It looks like the Loka is now discontinued and has been replaced by the Ajna which is a little bigger. Although either is a...

Thanks all. Budget-wise, provided it is not ridiculous then I am reasonably flexible. Would rather spend a bit more if I have to and get something that is comfortable and does the job rather than getting something cheaper that gets left at home.

Need a new camera bag and would like to try a backpack style. So looking for any recommendations for a backpack that will take a single body with several additional lenses, a flash and a light-weight tripod. But I would also like something that will take at least some of the additional items...

I have been asked to do some simple product shots by my employer for some new brochures. Product in question is basic electronic boxes so nothing complicated and the product will be cut out of the background before use. The problem that I am having is that I am using flash, a Nikon SB800 on...

Thanks Richard, that's useful. We only have two days in Cairo unfortunately and one of those is a Friday so it will probably be the Museum. The hotel is near Giza so should be able to get to the pyramids first thing in the morning. But unlikely to be any chance of getting to the others...

Thanks all. I will keep my eye on the political situation and enquire about the Cipro-what-ever-it-is. Some of our time will be spent on a boat on the Nile which is why I was thinking about the telephoto. To get some shots of river life in places where we are not going to get a chance to...

Oh how things have changed. When spent a year travelling in 1994/5 I took prepaid Fuji Sensia with me. shot six rolls then pacakged them up in two packs of three with alternate rolls and sent them back for processing. That way if a package got lost I did not loose a continuous 100 shots...
