Hi All, I have located a lovely herd of young deer near me who feed at dusk in a local field. I would love to try and get some shots of these animals but am really struggling with the low light at this time of the evening. As there is a fallen oak tree in the hedge I can get reasonably...

Hi Chris, I will try and answer this as best as I can but please keep in mind that I am no expert and reasonably new to this game.... I bought the RS283 tripod, Prior to this I had been using a 'cheap' tripod which although very light and compact it wasn't very stable. I have been doing...

A quick note to tell you all about my very positive purchase from Redsnapper through this site... From recommendation I have just bought a tripod, monopod and car window mount from Redsnapper. buying it through here I got a discount for being a TP member and I ordered them on Tuesday night...

Just found this link with listings to Nikon lenses and compatible TCs... http://blog.nikonians.org/archives/Nikonians%20Teleconverter%20Table.pdf Enjoy...

Thanks guys, I thought it would be easy to find a TC for this lens...apparently not! I really love this lens so don't want to get rid it unless I have to...

If it helps I shoot with a D90 and currently use old AF ED 80-200mm F2.8D & AF 35-70mm f2.8D lenses, I haven't found anything in my price range to match the performance of these two yet!!...

Hello All, Firstly many thanks to all who had an input on this thread, all your views were appreciated and carefully considered.... Here is the what I have decided to do... Just ordered a Nikon D90! Couldn't afford a D300 as suggested and to keep the price down I've gone for a D90 which has...

Apologies actually a 80-200mm! (As said new to all this!) Exact Model is: AF Zoom-Nikkor ED 80-200mm f/2.8D

Wow - £7-900!...Thanks Tom I do actually really like this lens and despite it being quite heavy it balances with the current camera quite nicely. This is actually really important as most of the shooting I have been doing recently is birds in flight which I generally use the camera hand...

Thanks guys that is appreciated. I'm happy to take all the advice I can get on this one. if I'm going to spend a good wedge then I want to make the correct choice and therefore all views will be considered. The idea that I could get between £500-£700 for the 70-200mm f2.8 lens is very...
