That's a great resource thanks. Well a lot of options have come out of this thread so thanks all. I will report back with whatever I go for. -Lew

That's some useful feedback, thanks. I was originally wanting a bag small enough to fit in the plane when I go flying somewhere, hence my Lowepro 150. But then the more I think about it, I also need to take clothes and stuff if I stay somewhere so your point becomes very valid and rather than...

Thanks all for the recommendations, the Flipside option is looking good! Is it still practical enough to take places as well though, ie. not OTT? I have a bulky tripod to lug around as well sometimes and I disliked carrying that in my hands last time, so the idea of bolting it onto the bag is...

Hey all, I received my Nikon 200-500 at the weekend and discovered how it just isn't going to fit my current Lowepro 150 whatsoever... So I'm going to need to get another bag, I had a quick search but most were people looking for bags to hold a 200mm tops. It's not essential to fit the lens...

Managed to sell my Audi the other week, and I'd promised myself a telephoto lens when it had gone, so I went and bought the Nikon 200-500 after a lot of reading. Really happy with it so far (this morning). A mate of mine is a TUI pilot and told me he was jetting off to Detroit this morning so I...

I did my training on a C150/152 so I can technically get checked out on those again, and yes they do have nicer views because of the high wings. But I now fly the Piper because it's just a better deal at my school, and that matters when it comes to paying afterwards lol. I will have a watch of...

Yeah that's similar to what I'd read somewhere. I think I'm leaning towards the Nikon lens ever so slightly, even though I was quite prepared to go for the Sigma initially. Another outcome was that although the Nikon is slightly slower to focus, it's much more accurate than the Sigma at moving...

Right well if I had a quid for every article or thread I have read on the Nikon 200-500 vs Sigma/Tamron 150-600 I'd have... like a tenner or something. But seriously, it seems like a really difficult choice to make, all three lenses have pro's/cons. The Nikon appears to have some soft edges...

Hi all, I wasn't sure what section to put this in. Whilst I wait for the world to reopen I thought I'd start playing around with my new D750 and I loved the idea of learning light painting so I had a go tonight, I'm fairly happy with the outcome. I was down some incredibly dodgy road and...

Well I'm getting slightly carried away with buying stuff at the moment. I've gone and bought a Nikkon 50mm 1.8G because it was a really good price on MPB. Instantly love that lens but I've only had chance to mess about at my desk so far. Unfortunately with lock down and work I've not had any...

I want to play around with all sorts tbh. Light painting, bracketing, Astro stuff. Unfortunately i can’t enjoy any flying stuff atm so I may as well mess around with other stuff I can do.

Loving the camera so far but there’s an incredible amount to learn. Blasted my way through some of the recommended D750 books to uncover some tricks. Instantly realising that I need to get a tripod sorted For the landscape shots. A little reading suggests the Manfrotto 055 is a good range to...

Well after weeks of reading, and the days chatting in here I have ordered some parts. I've gone for a second hand D750 from Jessops as it only had 16k on it and condition looked outstanding, and also second hand 24-120mm lens from MPB, again I went for the best condition one described "as new"...

Yeah, basically. Even though the plane I fly is from the 1980's, once it's in level flight and trimmed correctly, you can pretty much let go and let it do it's thing. Unlike a car that would veer off and hit something.

Nothing is commercial unless I'm paid to do it, but what I tend to do is fly to another air field and back, I might fly there, my mate might fly us home. Both qualified so it means I get one leg where I am not flying at all and can take photos as I please. It's complicated what you can and...
