Managed to catch this having missed it last time around. Definitely worth setting up a camelcamelcamel alert.

Definitely option 1! If you had longer than 4 days for the road trip I would go with option 2 but with the time you've got it's just too much driving for the amount of time you actually get to spent seeing things!

The Nikon VR2 is my favourite lens of all time :) Plus if you buy second hand it should hold its value very well.

Received the Scotland and wildlife books after ordering earlier this week. The books look amazing, can't wait to visit some of these places. Thanks for your help with ordering Mick.

The Nikon every time, you won't regret it!

Not quite the £82 of the OP but it's gone down to £99.99 (from £119.99) if you need to buy now.

And now out of stock :(

According to Nikon Rumours the Euro price is €3,799, so not much difference to the UK price.

My answer is based on some assumptions, so apologies in advance if I've added 2+2 and made 5! Assumptions are (i) if this is for a D500 then you're not pro and (ii) if you were originally looking at the tamron then you're not pushing the boundaries of the lens' performance for sports / action...

The ISO shouldn't have been an issue - the focussing is what has let the shot down and together with exposure settings. Are you using single point focus? If not, try it out, takes a bit of getting used to - try it on large slow moving objects first, then move to birds/planes etc. to get used to...

Depending on where you are in London, you could try Forest Photographic? My dad used to use them for slide processing and they were reasonably priced. http://www.forestphotographic.co.uk/about/filmprocessintro
