That's all I need to know. I've requested a refund (although I note on their website that said refund is based on the item not being as described - it does have a couple of scuffs I was hoping not to see) and based on what others have said I am hoping they won't resist. Them picking it up for...

Cheers lads, I really appreciate the reassurance. I will calm down and just enjoy the lens I paid nearly 10 grand for!

It didn't mention the instructions and I don't really care about that - they don't tend to mention straps on any of their cameras but I assumed that's cos it's like not including the lens hood or something - like it's an essential part of the camera. Or is not including a strap pretty normal...

I bought a lens from MPB and it arrived yesterday. An expensive lens - £9750 for a Canon rf 600mm f4 prime. I don't love that it didn't come with the box but it also didn't come with a strap (pretty essential I would have thought), the filters that come as standard or instructions. The strap in...

Hi all, I am seeing a number of these online and trying to decide which to go for. My priority is to get something with the thickest and most rubbery feel, preferably not a super thin film which looks neat but doesn't offer sufficient protection. Some I see in hides look a bit flimsy and others...

Hello all, I have ordered a 600mm f4 lens for my Canon and am very excited to try it out. I am currently using a 100-500mm lens which is much smaller and one thing that annoys me about the strap it comes with is how poor / non existent the padding is for my shoulder. I imagine the same will be...

Chuffed or choughed?!

No insight to add I'm afraid but just wanted to share my chough pics! _P8A3095 by Brian Sheehy, on Flickr _P8A2627 by Brian Sheehy, on Flickr _P8A9177 by Brian Sheehy, on Flickr _P8A9180 by Brian Sheehy, on Flickr

So basically, I would see a clear benefit in the R7 in prime conditions when iso kept low but keep the R5 in the bag for when light is rubbish?

Hi Tim, this is what I will eventually go for I think. I am going to rent one for an upcoming trip to Utah and wait until a 600 f4 with a built in extender comes out in a couple of years time (hopefully). It's really weird but I keep seeing folk post pictures from their r7s which clearly looks...

Hunny monster: you say: The difference between 500mm & 600mm focal length possibly isn't as pronounced you'd hope, especially when compared to between 400mm & 500mm Can you explain this to me in basic terms? I.e. what sort of difference is the 500-600mm focal range gap in actual metres in the...

Birds.

You're welcome to borrow mine if you live near London!

Hello all, I have a canon r5 mark ii (well, two of them!) and a 70-200mm 2.8, a 100-500mm and a 200-800mm. I started off with a 200-800 and was quite happy with it until I got the 100-500. Since then I've carried both with me on outings but can't seem to get anything decent out of the 200-800...

For landscapes on hikes absolutely phone. For birds, only a top end camera with amazing autofocus will do!
