Hi, Looking for some advice. Im contemplating buying a Nikon AF-S 500mm f/4G ED VR Lens. However, I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on the NIKON AF-S 200-400MM F4 G II ED N VR. My main interest is wildlife photography with a little bit of sport thrown in. My main question is, do you...

It just does'nt seem sharp front to back. I'm finding it quite soft around the edges. I like the focal length though. I already have a 11 - 16mm wide angled lens

I'm not bother if it is a Nikon, It just needs to be a Nikon Fit and budget wise, with my trade in items included I think it might be around the £700 mark. My current camera is a Nikon d7100.

I was wondering if someone can help me. I'm looking to upgrade my current landscape lens which is a Nikon 16-85mm 3.5-5.6 G ED DX lens. I can trade in this lens, together with a good condition Nikon D90 and its supplied 18 - 105mm kit lens. Can somebody give me a recommendation what I...

I ordered a nikon d7100 and paid by bt. No problems at all.

Hi All, I'm looking to buy a Nikon D7100 body.....where is the best place or shop to buy one from at the moment? I would be happy to buy a "Grey" import..............Thanks in advance. :)

Hi, thanks for all your responses. Budget wise, I'm looking around the £120 mark.

Hi, hope you can all give me some advice. I need to purchase good quality tripod and head to take with me to the USA however, I also need to be able to use it for landscape photography. So it needs to be both compact but very stable. :tumbleweed: I've had a look at the Manfrotto Befree and the...

Okay, thanks David, i'll look into them :)

Hi again, I managed to pick up the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. Thanks for your advice. It will arrive tomorrow so looking forward to putting it through its paces. Now, I've a bit of a dilemma, I want to get a good quality tripod to take with me to the states however, I also need to be able to use it...

Okay. Great advice. Thanks MPE. The UWL seems to be the way forward and I'll look into the other lenses and go from there.

Fair Point! However....you don't know my wife (good job she wont read this otherwise i'd need the money for my camera upgrade for a divorce solicitor!!LOL !)

Thanks. I'm glad I found the forum. I thought about a UWL and I think it would be a wise investment. It's a shame about not being able to access the classifieds. I feel a little wary buying from Ebay etc. I'll look at your links and see where I go from there. :) My mother has a 200mm lens that...
