Going into London tomorrow, may have a look, but went to one his back at the Barbican years ago, he had the Nikon that took that bullet on show then....is that at the exhibition as well?

Rise above the snobbery, I was Nikon through and through for years. Spent an absolute fortune on lens from Macro to 600 f4 and 500 f4...F5 (Remember those old film things we used to use), I have just sold my D3X kit with a host of lenses to MPB about 2 months ago...I have bought an Olympus EM1...

Superb piece of glass....

Try the SRB Elite range....Had some great results with them, I was lucky enough to get some Lee filters from the classifieds a while ago, but had a a set of SRB's, a really good starter to be honest.

Off to Shingle Street next week, staying in Dovercourt (those light houses on my list) for 2 nights, purely photography based, thinking of Felixstowe as well (those curved Groynes), anywhere else that you would recommend ? simple/ minimalist shots are what Id be looking for....Groynes...

I take it you have checked out E6 blogs on You Tube with Craig Roberts, uses the Olympus Omd and Pen for all of his work now, supplies images to all, has no problems with quality issues, lots of his videos's explain the reasoning behind his switch to Mft....thinking about going down this route...

Personally, its all about the picture, the light, the composition everything else is secondary, I don't give a hoot about the technical side, as long as I can get the picture as I want it with a little PP. If I drive a Ferrari, why the hell do I need to know what the engine does and how it...

Can't go wrong with the Wastwater area....stunning.

Anyone!!!!:help:

Like a lot of people, having the confidence of showing your pics to other people is always a bit nerve racking, this is where I thought what the hell, bought a Mr Site and "played" around...I have had the site for a while now.. this is my first "Public" showing really.....I am not to bothered...

Tried other Non Vr lenses (17-55 dx, 10.5 Fisheye, and some other cheaper lenses) on the D3 and they seemed fine, it was just the Vr he had the problem with...........I have tried to phone him, but no answers at the mo.

Oooh, so many comments......Just to clarify, the Veiwfinder is dark all over, not in the corners......It's like the DoF button has been depressed, as to the 70-200, it works fine on the D200 and D300 and also a couple of film camera's we have, crystal clear viewfinder's.......So I really think...

Really strange now......the Guy came round with his D3 (still lovely-- the D3 that is), as he said, it was a dark veiwfinder (but pictures were clear on the back screen when taking a pic), but when I put it on my D300+D200 no problems whatsoever (70-200)...when sticking about 4 non VR lens on...

"My thought was also that somehow the lens is activating the DoF preview?! ".....so would that be the camera activating it or the lens.....I suppose it would be the lens thinking about, due to the fact the his other lens does not cause it.......repair bill, going to be????

Odd Question really, if anyone has come across this problem, I have just sold a 70-200 2.8 vr to a nice chap, he has a D3, (Lucky g*T)....He phoned me saying that he could barely see anything through the lens (dark)......when putting on another lens ...no problems....Last time I used the 70-200...
