I have been doing some headshots and environmental portrits of some friends and family. I have a Godox AD200 and a Lecarta EZ-Pro 80cm softbox. I have been using a light stand that a griend gave me but it's really not stable. It'sa very cheap Neewer one and I think would be fine for a speedlight...

How does the 180-600mm compare to the 200-500mm f5.6? I'm leaning towards the 180-600mm now as it will be more useful going forwards. I have a Z6 and a D750 but in Time I am hoping to replace the D750 with a later Z series camera.

I have just ordered this one from Essential Photo. I'll let you know what it's like. https://www.essentialphoto.co.uk/products/pixapro-anti-crease-dual-sided-blackwhite-collapsible-background?_pos=1&_sid=199cdcf77&_ss=r

I was wondering if these workshops give improved access. I have shot British Touring Cars at Thruxton as a spectator.

Does anyone here run or know of anyone that runs motorsport photography workshops. I found these guys online but would prefer a personal recommendation from a group member. Ideally someone who runs workshops at Thruxton as that's my nearest track. https://www.tracksidefocus.com/

Ah, OK. I guess I'll just have to wait until i have posted enough.

OK. So maybe I go back to Plan A which was the 200-400mm f4 which zooms internally and being a more 'pro' lens I assum has better weather sealing?

I am looking to buy a used Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 lens. I have looked in MPB and most of the ones they have listed have a disclaimer that "The internal optics have a small amount of moisture, but this doesn't affect functionality." Is this a common problem with this lens? If so doesn't that...

Since the original post the 180-600mm Z mount lens has started sneaking into my budget. Any thoughts on this one?

I have been asked to do some headshots for a friends company and was considering a collapsible back drop. I have seen some double sided ones on Amazon and Essential Photo but would love to hear if anyone has any experience or opinions on these. There seems to be quite a range of prices ranging...

I can' access the classifieds either and I have posted fairly recently. The nature of my work means that I can't always post regularly but tend to post in bursts when I have the time and headspace for photography. I am now looking to purchase some extra kit and would prefer to buy within the...

I have just lookedin the for sale section and can't see any items listed in the Nikon section.

I have a sigma 70-200mm f2.8

I have 2 Nikon cameras a D750 and a Z6. Last year I sold my old Sigma 100-300mm f4 and now I'd like to get another long lens for sports and wildlife. I liked the look of the Z mount 100-400mm f4.5/5.6 but I don't really have the budget. Realistically I have abudget of £1000 and have been looking...

I have been offered a Yashica 6x6 TLR on long term loan and I would like to try developing & printing my own prints. I have a small room at the back of my garage which i plan to covert to a darkroom. I have been looking on Marketplace for a secondhand enlarger but I’m not sure what I am looking...
