    Camera skins/decals

    I have used the 3M type skins on my Cannon bodies for a while now, usually a plain black so its not noticeable once applied.They normally come pre cut to fit all the shapes of the camera body and fit perfect. When I have come to sell a body they peel off leaving no residue and you have a camera...

    Lightroom; is it just awful?

    Not tried CC in a while, it was terrible then and sound like not much better now. Classic is very good, but you need to be using it as a Catalog as well as an editing tool. One of its powers is keywords and catalog management. I can do about 95% of editing in Classic and then some in PS

    Nikon 500 F4 or 600 F4 in addition to 200-500mm

If your shooting style can stand support (mono pod best) then it may not be as big a factor. I shoot hand held 90% so it was no.1. Now it’s a few years...

    Nikon 500 F4 or 600 F4 in addition to 200-500mm

    I shot a 600/4 (albeit on canon) for a coupe of years, amazing experience. They are big and a bit unwieldy at times.

    Nikon 500 F4 or 600 F4 in addition to 200-500mm

    Having owned 3 200-500’s 1 x 500f4 And have a mate that shoots the 500pF All I can say is, once you shoot either of the other two you won’t use the the 200-500 again :) it’s not even in the same league. I would suspect the 600/4 wil be the same all though not shot the Nikon version. Had...
