Mine relates to a nickname I was given by work colleagues back in the 1970s when I was twenty something. I was very keen on hill walking and rock climbing and, in those days, I had a very good power to weight ratio as I was short (I still am!) and very light (sadly no longer!). I have in recent...

I have just returned from a photographic trip to Svalbard where I had to make the same decisions. While the advice given above is absolutely correct I would counsel great caution about the danger of over compensating and ending up with burnt out snow. I would rather come back with slightly...

Thanks Dave - I think it is working but doesn't show if you use "quick reply". However the one you created was much prettier than mine!

Ok , got it now thanks. It was the copy and paste that didn't seem to work once the hyperlink had been highlighted. By typing the link in manually it worked fine.

I tried too and couldn't get it to work. I have for some time displayed the URL of my flickr but have never known how to create a hyperlink.

Thank goodness we don't have to worry about rabies in this country. In many countries this sort of attack could be the sign of an infected animal.

Thanks for posting this. What fantastic pictures.

I too find that both the 1.4TC and the 1.7TC will autofocus perfectly satisfactorily with the 500 F4 although I agree with Martyn that it does take a bit of practice to find the subject. I do find that the 1.7TC does slow down the autofocus noticeably but it usualy succeeds in locking on.

I agree as well. To support this I took a picture of a bus once in Sweden and it only showed part of the display despite me seeing the full area. In this case my shutter speed must have been faster than the display rate on the bus.

LR2.6 is working fine on my pc running W7 64, in fact it really flies compared to when I had XP. However mine was a new computer with a clean install so it seems likely that the problem has something to do with the upgrade from your previous OS.

Thanks you for all your replies. I must confess I am still a bit confused. If you consider a full frame camera then it seems that a lens of about 5 to 8 mm will produce a circular image giving an angle of view approaching 180 degrees; that is what I called a fisheye image (rightly or wrongly)...

Can anyone enlighten me as to why the Nikkor 16mm is called a fish eye lens when the wider 14mm is called a super wide angle lens? As far as I can see they both fill a FF sensor.

Hint. Parking at Birmingham International station is £5 per day with a covered walkway and travellators into NEC. You never need to pay NEC parking fees. Station is no furtheraway.

:plusone: As with Dod, I haven't used the 28-70 but can say the 24-70 is brilliant.
