I took my 150-600 in for repair, first class and quick service. I’ve no complaints at all.

Silly question but is the battery fully charged?

@snerkler I use the Nikon 80-400mm (early version) and Tamron 150-600mm and get sharp photos throughout the range. I posted a photo further up the page which was Tamron with the Tamron G1 at 600mm – hope that is of some help Oops should have read taken with the Tamron

If it’s any help, I use a Tamron 150-600 on my D300S and get reasonable results – attached for example (hand held) DSC_9337 Red Kite by Paul Judge, on Flickr

Oh come on, it’s only the first 40 years that’s the worst ;)

Oops I’ll pop back into my shell

What! You chickened out?

A quick google of Jessops turned up:- Nikon Coolpix A10 £59.00 Canon IXUS 175 £77.00 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W800 £69.00 Reasonable starter/pocket cameras hope that is of help.

Only had my 750 a month – brilliant camera but of course I don’t have to remind you. Haven’t seen any small birds in the garden for months, so today a couple arrived and naturally I had the wrong lens attached, Sigma 105 macro. No time to change lenses as they had gone within five minutes...

I think I am out of my depth oh well....

Did you include us Nikon users in that message?::razz:lol: Merry Christmas everyone:)

I have used flash on several occasions and never had a problem. The last time I was there it wasn’t very busy and they didn’t object to me using a tripod. Typical for a museum, everything is crammed in tightly but still well worth a visit or two.

The second one is sacrilege. :razz: You should be ashamed!!:lol:

What a happy little girl. (We spent the next hour teaching her to go "yay" when we said "Nikon" and "bluhh" when we said "Canon". ) So nice to see parents bringing children up the right way. :clap:

I used an Epson Perfection V500 to scan about 5 thousand B&W and colour negs and transparencies both 35mm & medium format. I also scanned a few hundred prints. They came out very well considering a lot of the pictures were rubbish in the first place.:) It took a long time but doing it a couple...
