Had one...won't buy another. Mounting screw managed to undo itself and camera dropped...dead!

I have the same pairing on a Nikon D7000 and agree with the sentiments above. Very happy with both the lens and the teleconverter. Neil

Aha....i stand corrected...apologies.:oops:

The modelling flash as its known in Nikon terminology can be turned off in the menu....wife has the camera so cant tell you the exact menu..but can definitely be done. Neil

I've just taken punt on one of these from the states....will try and remember to post up some results when it arrives.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370942364208?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I purchased a cover for my Siggy 70-200 2.8 from rainydays2008...excellent quality materials and the owner, Tony, IIRC, is extremely helpful and very quick to despatch. LINK: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/rainydays2008/m.html Highly recommended Neil

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8....its what I have and is a fantastically sharp lens at all apertures. I know for landscape 2.8 is not relevant but for indoor shots, churches etc it makes a huge difference. Built like an aircraft carrier too....dropped mine when it was on my old D300....camera smashed but...

I have the Nikon 17-55 on a D7000 body and its a fantastic piece of glass indeed! Still have the 16-85VR that needs selling now. The 17-55 is sooo sharp it almost hurts, especially around F4...F2.8 is also very sharp too. I also have the Tokina 11-16 which is also a stellar piece of engineering...

Its to do with the actual quality of the signal received and sent....something called 'jitter' and 'packet loss'.....less is obviously better!:D

all good here too!!

One One of the 'holy trinity'....Nikon 24-70 f2.8 VR.....for full frame cameras. EDIT...my mistake.no VR! Sorry....

Nice surprise today....needed two new rubber grips for the zoom and focus rings so called Nikon UK. Only £4.88 each....amazed they were so cheap! Even the non-Nikon ones on fleabay are more than this! Anyone needs spares...call Nikon...cheaper than you might imagine! :nikon::banana: Neil...

Wow! Simply breathtaking. Iceland seems to be full of awesome sights......and I mean the true meaning of awesome...stunning video. My son has recently returned from a school trip there....determined to visit now. Neil

I used these http://homeavdirect.co.uk/shop/index.php?page=home guys a couple of months back when i needed to purchase a new amp and blu-ray player. I had pretty much made up my mind what to get anyway, but they were extremely helpful in answering my questions to them...very...

Agree totally with the 18-70...it's a brilliant little lens...I've had two of them...last one got smashed with my D300! I now have the replacement which is the 16-85 VR.. again a really good lens with a few mm extra each end and the vr. Perhaps another one to think about...they go for around...
