Thanks again to everyone who replied to this, I appreciate it I decided to go for a D700 in the end, I managed to pick one up second hand for a price I was happy with so I'm now just waiting for it to arrive!

Thank you to everyone who has replied, there are certainly plenty of things in here to look into and consider! Hi Paul, thanks for your reply :) I should have probably mentioned in my OP, I currently have a Nikon D3000 and a D5100. The issue with the 35mm probably isn't too much of a...

Afternoon everyone Firstly, I apologies if there is already a post on this. I thought I remembered seeing a pinned post about it previously but I cannot find it anywhere! Maybe I was imagining it... Anyway, I've been working on my photography for a few years now, mainly automotive work for...

Hi guys, newbie to Rig Photography here! Just recently got my Car Camera Rig and i've been out using it this past week. The Clio was my first attempt and the Fiesta was my second attempt last night. For my first couple of go's I am really happy with them however i'm looking for some tips to...

I REALLY like those - Number 1 is my fav :)

That makes perfect sense now thank you both! :)

I see, so the lens I linked above would work perfectly fine with my camera it just doesn't have vibration control whereas the lens you linked does?

Thank you everyone - One more question (Last one, I promise :)) When I search for 'Tamron AF-S 70-300MM' I can't find any results that actually say 'AF-S' they just say 'AF' (Like this) I assume this does make a difference?

Sorry I should have said above, I have a D3000

Also, please could someone confirm I should be looking for an 'AF-S' lens? (As you can tell I'm still fairly new to all this)

Thanks for both of your posts. From what you've both said it sounds like the 55-300mm is not going to be idea for me then as I will mainly be using it for BTCC events and therefore would require a fast autofocus. It is handy to know that the Tamron lenses are as good as Nikon though - The...

As in the title just a quick one... After using (hiring) the Nikon AF-S 70-300mm last year for the BTCC at Snetterton I've wanted to buy the lens ever since ready for this year's season. After looking around online the lens is not really affordable for me at the moment (even secondhand)...

Unfortunately not, it's only a Manfrotto MKC3-H01 Compact. I'll only be using it the odd occasion when it's needed for nighttime car photography hence the reason I when for one of the cheaper tripods in the range. I haven't actually had chance to use it yet but first impressions are good...

My first tripod! It seems more than adequate for my needs -
