Why are the hides so expensive? And could you get away with normal tent and a wildlife pattern tarp? In Ireland there are not many fixed hides available at least where I am (interested in capturing birds of prey)

Picked up first big lens from this crowd and very responsive with appropriate emails sent when dispatched etc. I had a query which was dealt with in quick time. Plus one from me.

Hi Mij, I bought this package last month from eBay. They had a 5% off offer at the time. Sometimes you will get lucky and get 10% upto a max of £75. The packages are usually £850 for lens and TC. (I saved 43 in the end) If you are willing to wait then you could put in your basket or set up an...

Did not realise that about 7100. Will be eventually looking at a D500 once I practice with current set up

I am looking forward to the long weekend to get out and take it all in. Lots to learn. Having the reach means I am not frustrated at a spec in distance.

Received this on Saturday. This is my first "new" buy after buying all my gear second hand. I am amazed at the quality. The weight was something I was not expecting (Can only imagine the 'Sport' version) as it dwarfs my D7100. Super sharp images and shots in focus handheld at 600mm makes me...

Being new to this means that I get to ask stupid questions I guess. Thanks to everyone for the advice

Secondhand think-tank Retrospective 30. Minimalist with good features. I keep a shelf in the wardrobe that I use when I am leaving lens/ accessories behind. I am currently trying to show my five year the camera in video mode for his YouTube videos

I am using a crop sensor DSLR -Nikon D7100 unsure what the effect will be at full focal lenght (apart from being very close the birds). I am looking forward to adding the teleconverter (1.4x) to see the effect!

I think from the suggestions above I will leave the filter for the moment and use the hood full time. I have a lenscover for the full lens on order. I can save toward the sigma and buy at some point in future. It was an expensive purchase and will probably cost me my marriage but hey ho...

Hi All, After purchasing the Sigma (150-600mm contemporary) and looking at accessories I am looking to purchase a UV filter to protect the lens. Sigma 95mm is approx £95 pounds. Is there a cheaper equivalent? I have used Amazon basics so far which have been fine. It is purely to protect the...

I purchased my first DSLR in February - Nikon D7100 and ally gear has been second hand Camera Bag Lens etc. Since lockdown have been toying with idea of getting a super zoom. So tonight - pulled trigger on the Sigma 150-600 "C" plus Tele for £800 not grey import. Thank you eBay 5% off so...

Pulled trigger on the Sigma 150-600 "C" plus Tele for £800 not grey import. Thank you eBay cannot wait

Nothing wrong with that Fresh grind and use a mokka pot every morning. At least now I can enjoy the ritual

I was looking at the same - c version. 750 new. Some one also mentioned the 300mm f4 on as mother forum. Prices seem okay but if adding teleconverter then can bring in line with the variable zooms. My other half won't let me buy the sigma I will have to sneak it past her
