That's really useful - thanks very much for your advice! I'll look for a different filter but will keep in mind your comments. I've always used a lens hood and a filter on the advice of a number of people so it's quite refreshing to hear that filters are not always necessary and in some cases...

Lens made an early arrival yesterday and from a quick test of it last night (albeit in the dark/indoor lighting) it seems incredibly sharp with no calibration! Really impressed with it and can't wait to get out at the weekend and use it properly. Just one slightly odd question for you - I...

Thanks for the heads up - I'll see how it is when it arrives which should be either tomorrow or Wednesday. My current lens is a 28-300 3.5, which has been great. It belongs to my dad though and apparently after six months, it's time to hand it back over :( I've also got a Nikkor 50mm 1.4 from...

Fortunately it's slightly lighter than my current main lens so I've hopefully developed the strength to cart it around a bit!

I've bitten the bullet and bought one! Waiting for it to arrive but Jessops were offering £50 off and I was a bit too apprehensive about ordering second hand and not being able to return/make use of a warranty. Looking forward to its arrival!

Well, if you ever fancy selling it... ;)

Thanks for your help and advice everyone - think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get one... then probably come crawling back on here if I have any focusing issues! ;)

It is a Nikon d750 :)

Hello all, Looking for a bit of advice (and some reassurance to just go for it!). After a fair bit of research I think I'd like to invest in a Sigma 35mm f1.4 (Nikon). I've seen a lot of mention of calibrating the lens however, and was wondering what the best way to do this would be/if it's...

Thanks - bit limited with editing right now as I only have my phone with me. Also with my old Olympus I wasn’t able to transfer RAW files (or even view them on the camera, come to think of it) but have just realised that I can do so with the d750.

One day! For now will have to make do with GoPro for underwater fun. New camera has just had its first outing, still a lot to learn with this so please be nice [emoji6]

Actually we do have that booked... will have to put down the Nikon for that though!

Thank you! Off to South Africa for a bit of Cape Town, wine, and Safari!

In that case, hold tight - I’m sure it won’t be long before my next hilarious question [emoji6]

Thanks! Beginning to wonder if I really was ready to upgrade after being so thick there [emoji23] will have to spend the flight reading the manual now to avoid any other silly posts
