It arrived Saturday, had a first play today......Love it! Was minty from WEX

@Sky Thanks for the link. I wonder if the lens will have the latest firmware... That or its another 40 quid for a Sigma dock :rolleyes:. Can you check on camera??

Thanks for the advice, didn't want to go to the full 850 so grabbed the used (9) from. WEX. One Sigma 150-600 Contemporary winging it's way to me :cool:

I have a Nikon D750 and have a Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 E ED VR (as well as some wide angle tele-zooms) I want to get in to wildlife and bird photography more, so don't know whether to bite the bullet and buy a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary or save a few quid and get a 1.4 or 2x tele...

Does anyone have one of these: Firecrest 85mm Holder and CPL? I currently use a Cokin P holder with Cokin CPL and Hitech Grads. The Grads are fine, but don't like the Coking Holder and the CPL is just awkward to use. Was thinking of the Firecrest Holder with CPL for about £112 but have found...

Ask the section manager, you never know.

I'm going to the Opening Ceremony, and only taking my Lumix TZ, though I shall hopefully remember and post back here what I see other people snapping with. Also if I see plenty of DLRS's being used I'll be taking mine to the Basketball and Athletics. But I'm not going to risk the OC for anything.

3rd Floor John Lewis. London 2012 shop has viewing gallery over the whole Park. Though unfortunately behind glass :(

I have a Hens Tooth, I mean an Opening Ceremony ticket. You cannot believe the hours camped out online i had t do to get one (without selling my cars) I have a 60d which I would love to take, but it's staying at home and I'm taking my Panny Lumix TZ. Imagine my tears after the hours of effort...

Whilst doing a deal with Chris, CBA100, I was sadly informed by his girlfriend that Chris has been involved in a serious road collision and was in hospital.(Last week) Just thought I'd inform his fellow TP forum mates and I'd just like to say get well soon Chris, hope everything turns out ok...

It wasn't all bad :naughty::naughty:

The week wasn't so good for me, the weather was about on par with a Scottish Mountain peak, with some absolute 18 hr plus downpours on Mon and Thur. One of my kids came down with Chicken Pox, so really didn't get to do much togging. However following the suggestion on here, the Pasty from...

Resolution to this: Amazon have admitted in shipping from Germany and therefore falling foul of Sigma UK's extended warranty conditions, so will only have a standard 1 year warranty. Due to me "bringing this to their attention", they have now removed the "3 Year UK warranty" from the...
