    Spec me a lens / mic

    I have the Rode Filmaker Kit: http://cvp.com/index.php?t=product/rode_rodelink-filmmaker-kit - In budget and superb. Ah... just noticed it's £250 + VAT.

    Upgrade to FX

    You are of course factually correct. However, from my "real world" position, FX means wider than DX. I know it doesn't, I know you can buy a 10mm lens for a DX camera, really I do... but to me that isn't the issue. Please just accept that '1' stands as a valid reason for me.

    Upgrade to FX

    There are some good reasons for moving from DX to FX (and vice-versa), but none of them are "because my images will improve". For me, I shoot FX for two reasons: 1 - Because I can always crop but I can't add what I didn't shoot. 2 - I came from 35mm and the focal lengths are ingrained in me.

    Nikon Help needed.

    Nikon Help needed.

    I don't think the D750 is a dog (whatever that means) but when I tried one it felt like a toy. The flippy-out screen was asking to get smashed, and the lack of "AF-ON" for almost £1500 is a joke.

    Wide angle lens options for a Nikon..

    Couldn't agree more with the above post. I have the 18-35mm and it is astonishingly good considering the price it can be had for. The lightness is an added bonus. The only thing that might have tempted me to the 16-35 would be if I were using a DX body as well as my FX one, because that extra...

    Latest Nikon 80-400 or 200-500 for Airshows on D750?

    My limited experience of the 200-500 is that I wouldn't want to hand hold it at all. I use mine for golf and cricket, so a monopod works well and weight isn't much of an issue. Autofocus is reasonably quick, but by no means fast IMHO. I chose the Nikon over the other two because I think that...
