I must be one of the lucky ones, had no issues so far with all apps working (Lightroom, Vegas Pro, Reason, Office 2013 etc). Loving the refreshed feel and hybrid start menu. So far i have to say i'm impressed, even Edge felt quick!!

Ive not long returned from safari and used the Tamron 70 - 300m https://flic.kr/s/aHsk9oLz1Q Image quality is great and VC is amazing... though is definitely noisy!! It did hunt abit @300mm but that may have been down to the light conditions etc for the price its a great lens and i read a ton...

Hi, can anyone recommend anywhere that does camera cleaning. Theres nothing on the sensor but my camera is a few years old, been on many holidays most recently a safari trip which has covered the camera in dust so really just want it to have a good clean inside and out. Is there any online...

Excellent, that 50% sale makes it just about feasible as well!! Guess thats decided then, now just need to pick a lens and figure out what im going to use to support it!!

We have our own private jeep so dont need to worry about fighting others for space to take photos, and yeh if anything like our last africa trip the jeeps stop to allow taking pictures. Im going to take another look at hiring a lens, any good sites??

Im away for 22 days so hiring would be quite costly.

Jessops had the Tamron for £239 just after xmas and was so close to buying it just hadnt done my home work... regret not getting it now but still £290 is a bargain!!

Yeh i'll be doing abit of cropping for sure, unfortunately the 500mm may just be out of reach!! Thats what i keep reading, Tamrons VC works really well!! Im almost sold lol.

Thanks Andrew, i agree the Nikon does have the edge, but for over a £100 less the Tamron does just a good of job for a lot cheaper. I noticed someone is selling a used Nikon 18-200mm i know id lose abit or range but IQ looks great!

The Tammy is tempting for the price and from reading reviews not that far off the Nikon 300mm. Should cope well with the big animals and have no interest in birds so probably dont need anything longer / quicker..??? Though extra reach always helps. Im more interest in IQ. I did wonder about...

Have a Nikon 35mm 1.8 and a Sigma 105mm macro. Leaving the Sigma at home but taking the 35mm. Thanks.

Off to India next month on a tiger safari, however dont own a telephoto lens. Got £400 - £500 to spend anything more and it eats into our spending money and if the mrs cant afford any cocktails she'll blame it all on me!!! So, been looking around and so far its between the Tamron 70 - 300mm and...

I've had a quick search through some topics and yeh some people have had the same thing, sounds like nothing to worry about!! I was just concerned there may be more or hatching eggs they might ruin camera... but by the sounds of it i'll (camera) will be fine.

So, was taking some pictures the other day and noticed a black dot moving around the view finder. Thought it may have been a bug on the lens but nothing was there so had another look through and was still moving around. Removed the lens and could see a tiny white bug on the plastic thing just...

Thanks, im on android though... went with an app called 'mobile observatory' in the end... seems to do the job and gives me all the info im after so happy days. Thanks for the info though.
