    Nikon D5100 to D5300 or D7100

    I would go for the d7100. It would be a big improvment over the d5300. The autofocus system on the 7100 is fantastic. As for the commebt above about the 7000. I upgraded from a 7000 to a 7100 and I have to say tgere is a big difference all round. From iso noise performance to autofocus...

    Calibration driving me nuts

    This may seem like a long shot but when you export the images for posting in the Web. You do export them with the srgb colour Profile?

    Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 DI IF VC USD

    Hi Simon, Not from the loop but heres a few i took at RAF Coningsby. Ive got to say it was absolutely brilliant for jet photography, especially with the extra length over say a 300. It didnt struggle in the bad light either on my D7100 as you can see it was very miserable weather in some shots...

    Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 DI IF VC USD

    I quite frequently get the focus freezing issue on my d7100. Not had any issues on my d810 though.

    Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 DI IF VC USD

    Had this lens a few week now. Mainly use it for birding. Starting to get the hang of it and I must say it's a cracking lens for the money. Thought I'd leave some shots here I took yesterday. They are high-ish res images so you can see the detail this lens can produce. Jay Grey Wagtail...

    HSS Or Long Tail Flash Question

    Ive tried my yongnuo triggers on both a set of cheap interfit studio flashes and a portable quantuum flash head. Using both a nikon d7100 and d810 I can Sync up to 1/8000. Hope this helps.

    What Macro?

    I've got the latest sigma 105 and I couldn't recommend it any higher. It produces lovely sharp and contrasty images. If you can stretch to the budget of it, I paid 370 I think, then I would go for it.

    Pleasant EBay experience

    It must be common on this lens as I have bought 2 examples from ebay and both have cracked focus switch rings and loose lens body.

    Sensor cleaning recommendations (Bedfordshire if possible)

    Jessops did my partners d3 sensor. Charged £50 for a 1 hour service.You can have a 2 day turn around for £30. He cleaned the view finder and pentaprism also. They are also insured against scratching the sensor. I have to say he did a great job and I was happy with the service.

    tamron 150-600 soft at 600mm.

    With such a large zoom range on that lens, I would expect some softness at the longer end. I've had a few 500mm sigmas in the past and they are the same. Just pull it back to about 550-575 and they will sharpen right up. I know it's bought for its 600mm capability but it's just one of those...

    nikon service cost

    Hello, Does anyone know roughly what nikon would charge to service and clean my 80-200 f2.8 two touch? It's got a fair bit of internal dust and I'd just like it it to be clean like when new. Thanks

    Hello from sunny hartlepool

    Hello all, I've been snooping on this forum for a few weeks and thought I would finally sign up. I've been into photography for probably the last 15 years. I've only really took a massive interest in it over the last 5 years. I mainly do it as a hobby but have done a few small paid jobs. Im...
