I have retained this lens as I moved to the mirrorless set up and still use it on occasion. I took it to RIAT last July and the extra reach over my 70-200 was very welcome. Autofocus wasn’t an issue and I was pleased to have it with me for the day.

Sometimes the places on your doorstep are often overlooked. I had this a few years' back and challenged myself to visit some parks around my town, the ones that I'd never go to as different towns and places held more mystique and potential. What I found was that there was more than enough...

I have a Mini 3 Pro and Air 2S, but neither have been flown much in the last 12 months. As with all forum posts for help you may get a variety of opinions, so when I'm researching some items I usually go toYouTube and hunt out Geeksvana for the legal / compliance aspect, then Ian in London for...

I have bought both those lenses from Cotswold. Haven't tried Panamoz as Cotswold have been quick to respond to my emails and the shipping has always been fast (c. 1 week from order to delivery). The difference in price can pay for a nice weekend away to get some shots from a new location...

Yes, it grabbed some amazingly sharp shots in France last month. One won me a monthly award at my local club so it's defo a keeper

Just shoot raw with a decent sized memory card. I have 128gb and 512gb but they're both absolutely fine for a day's work and then editing. I work on the basis that it's best to have the highest resolution / file size then you don't suffer with any issues in processing.

I moved from the Z6 to the Z8 a few months ago. The difference in autofocus performance and animal / bird / car / eye detection is night and day. I haven’t had any issues tracking cars for panning or birds bobbing around branches etc. I bought from a grey importer as it enabled me to get...

Just a quick one to say that I've completed my third purchase from Cotswold. Ordered 70-200 on the evening of 5 July and delivered by DPD on the morning of the 11th. Add in the fact I've saved about £650 from the other retailer pricing and I'm pretty chuffed. They've always been responsive if...

I just use Adobe Bridge 2024 to select the photos I want to edit and then hit enter to open them in Affinity. An additional step, but no real issues with it and feels a natural step in my editing process now.

I got a few decent ones at an event I attended in Nimes, but I don't have a Flickr account so don't end up posting any photos on here. Few on my website and a few on Instagram instead.

Don’t forget that any lithium batteries need to be with you in hand luggage as they can’t travel in the hold. Driving could be fun, more convenient for you and ultimately less stress. I had a weekend in Switzerland in March and drove there and back with all my kit in the boot. No issues with...

Thanks for the tip, yes I did check that one beforehand but it was still at the preliminary stage. All sorted now though

Thanks all for the replies. I found their live chat option yesterday morning and the chap could see that my lens was received on the 24th but nothing had been done with it since. He sent a note to the checking team to prod them and that worked as I had an offer email later that day. They’ve...

Thanks both. Been a week since their last update so I’ll find an address and drop them a line

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing delays with MPB at the moment. A lens I’m selling was collected on 23 April and marked as received pretty soon after, but it’s been sitting and waiting to be checked ever since. MPB just apologising and stating higher than usual volumes at the...
