    Jacobs filters

    They need to update their advert - saying that the price is almost once tenth of the original £75.99 would put the new price at close to £7.60 not £14.99. It just shows how the prices have gone up. Plus the advert links out to the now defunct Jacobs site in many places. At least put a modicum...

    D7000 or D7100?

    I only purchased my D7000 4 months ago, I was nervous in case it's replacement would blow it out of the water. When the D7100 arrived i did not feel let down by my D7000 and was confident that the huge price difference for the d7100 right now is not worth it. In my opinion current D7000 prices...

    Nikon D7xxx owners thread

    In my opinion i don't think they will drop considerably further (when you include the cashback). If I were in the market for one I would be purchasing now from someone reputable like Amazon. The price may go down a few quid further, but not enough to outweigh the risk of them selling out and...

    Old Tamron lens

    You can get a Nikon mount for £14 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamron-Adaptall-2-Lens-to-Nikon-AI-Mount-Adapter-for-D7000-D5000-D300-D90-D5100-/251049458079 and have a play.

    Shutter counts

    As a non professional - that sounds like a lot. Are you using the camera all day every day? However, even if you continue to shoot at that rate it is still 3 years before you hit the 100K mark. You will effect the resale value - but on a D3100 that resale value is quite low anyway, so the...

    Light Stands and Soft Boxes

    Ditto here - the Konig stand is great value for money. I live in Warwick if you want to see any for yourself.

    Next step. What lens?

    The 35mm is a cracker of a lens at a bargain price and I would argue every Nikon crop sensor user should have one. I would also argue that 18mm should be wide enough for most images, I have rarely felt the need to go wider than 18mm (although a certain Tokina lens keep winking at me).

    pano-stitching

    One tip I found for Panoramas is to shoot in portrait orientation rather than landscape, even if your final image will be in landscape. It gives you far more leeway for cropping afterwards.

    Thanks for the heads up - just got the landscape one.

    Cheap Chinese Flashgun??? Grrr!!

    The earlier Yongnuo flashes certainly had some quality issues, but from what I gather the last year or two has seen a massive improvement. I certainly have had no issue with my two units. I do however have a TTL sync cable that the camera refuses to recognise as have a flash attached, although...

    Procamerashop.co.uk - anyone recommend?

    I got my Tamron 17-50 from them a few months ago, communication was a little poor and it took far longer to arrive than a body from HK via Panamoz, but it did arrive in perfect condition and was the cheapest price. When I checked the serial number it is stock from Italy and the Tamron Italy...

    Nikon D7xxx owners thread

    Tethering is fine for me, also on Windows 7 64bit. I use NKRemote now as I found Lghtroom a bit lacking.

    Laptop advice.

    There was me thinking that Phil was headed for a falling out with his wife for 'forcing' her onto a Windows platform when her heart was set on Apple, it turns out the forum members are the ones falling out. I should have realised that this forum is the same as all others and the topics of...
