Sorry, missed this reply. Yes the bits you have will all go together and work. I received the FA/FM eyepiece today but it cannot be used with the magnifying eyepiece. I should have just bought the one from ebay mentioned earlier in the thread! The magnifying eyepiece does what it says on the...

Well, what a waste of a weekend. Stayed in fawlty towers Telford branch Sat night, baby woken by slamming doors and screeching women at regular intervals throughout the night. All of us woken up at 6am by the fire alarm. Grr. It didn't stop raining at Cosford, we left soon after the announcement...

I'm dragging this thread back up, I ordered and finally received the Nikon parts: DK22 eyepiece adaptor DK17 magnifying eyepiece DK19 rubber eyecup Bad news is, they don't go together. The 'female' thread that the eyepiece should screw into is too small. Doing a bit more research, another...

I have a D300 and 70-300 AFS VR lens for an airshow but I'm thinking I may need more reach. I've found a teleconvertor for around £80, the full title is:Kenko N-AFD 1.5x Teleplus SHQ. Would this tc work properly with the lens? Also is it priced reasonably as I'll probably sell it on after...

I'll be there, I haven't been back since my trade training in 2002 so looking forward to it.

Even better :thumbs:

These look very interesting, thanks for the link. Does anyone have any first hand experience of them?

I've got a star 63 and had no troubles with it so far. Its been solid enough for my needs although I don't tend to take camera kit out in any gales. It has a bag hook to stabilise it if needed and it's light enough to carry around all day. It is plasticky but treated with care it should last...

M4:3 format are ideal for using these old lens, lots of bodies to choose from starting at just over £100 for a Panasonic G1. I use FD lens on my GF1 when im in the mood but i have no pics to hand sorry.

I wish you all the best Dave.

Cheers for all the input, some conflicting opinins so i think i'll have to get to a shop and try a d300 for size.

I thought that the D300 would be heavier being a metal construction but I was hoping it would be a bigger 'handfull'. Seems not then, cheers Andy.

I've been using a D90 for a couple of months now and an initial niggle is starting to snowball into frustration. The body doesn't fit comfortably in my large hands so after a short while of shooting I find myself juggling the camera around to prevent cramp in my fingers. I bought a grip in the...

There's a fuji S2 pro body on Ffordes for £99, Nikon F lens mount. The condition is described 'as seen', it could be worth an enquiry?

D50 would be the cheapest option I reckon, Fforbes had a used one for around £150 last time I looked.
