Hey guys, Well I've finally got my first assignment nearly complete, just need to touch up the blog entry itself, but the images are there. If you'd like a look and have any thoughts, tips or advice about the blog itself. I've probably waffled too much again. My Tutor wanted it on the blog and...

I take the fact that there are hundreds of others on this board alone who have done a BT to Panamoz and had nothing but excellent comments about them as a sign they won't scarper with mine.

That looks like a landscape and studio dream.

Anyone looking at this thread from jessops must cry lol.

ah, in that case the 50mm or the 35mm will both be possible options for you. 35mm will be better indoors as it's a bit wider. Difficult to go wrong with either really.

It would be much cheaper to use an HDMI lead from your macbook and then an HDMI to DVI on the other end. Should be about a fiver.

More walkies today, this time in and around Greenwich.

DVI is digital, VGA is analogue. Longer cables and higher resolutions will show the difference more readily. If you have a DVI cable then use it.

Not only that. When I got my D750 from them they gave me £60 off what everyone else paid because a) they couldn't promise a UK manual and plug(£50 and it did have them) and b) it was delayed a few days (£10). It's a bit crazy. But then they can be more expensive on some lenses, like the 85mm...

Oh sure, they won't touch stuff otherwise, but there are places who will, and the likes of Panamoz will deal with it for 3 years too. As for the warranty on used gear, I thought Nikon warranty cards were non transferable? Not sure anyone's going to care where the camera came from in 3 years...

For what it's worth with the D750 at least, Nikon UK are repairing them all regardless of where you got it and those that bought from Panamoz have been offered all the help they might need as far as I can remember. Most don't and you have to be a bit special looking to get snagged at customs...

The Nikon 50mm 1.8 is a great lens and cheap too, but I'm not sure it's going to be very useful for wildlife. What kind of things are you thinking about? Or have I misunderstood and you just want a lens for non wildlife close stuff and filming? In which case, consider the 35mm 1.8. Another...

I got my D750 from Panamoz for £1200 rather than paying I think £1700, so grey.

Why is that Mark?

Up at 5:30 to get some shots for my assignment. Needed a quiet bus so that demanded it really. Got a few more I was happy with to use too. More tomorrow! Also ordered myself a Neewer timing remote release.
