Nod Yeah the button has to be pressed and then rotated, sounds like im just being paranoid ;) although I have been thining about hooking something from the lens to the body like a chain, cheers. Teshi 70-200, normally without the TC i just use the Nikon strap and hang it from my shoulder but...

Call me paranoid but I always worry when I'm walking with my TC attached that the lens is going to fall off (well the body as the lens is attached to a Black rapid strap by the tripod plate). I'm using a Kenko TC and it seems quite easy that the switch can be pressed in and it all come apart...

Don't have a Pro but found a lot of nice info in this 'roundup' seems to be updated fairly regularly http://www.scoop.it/t/fuji-x-pro1

Doesn't seem it will AF or Meter http://www.nikonians.org/nikon/slr-lens.html

Hey Jim, wide open aperture on the f2.8 lens with the TC is f5.6, I just figured f8 would be around the sharpest aperture following the normal step it down a couple from wide open. Re corner sharpness, haven't really tested it I may have one of the rear end of an Elephant filling the frame so I...

Quite pleased with the Kenko 2x TC, I couldn't justify something more as it's only really for occasional trips to the Zoo, so I stuck it on my Nikon 70-200mm. Learnt a few things on my first trip about keeping up the shutter speed and keeping down the ISO, a little more thinking to do when...

strangely I was having a similar conversation just now with my wife about the 90/10 statement, agree the Tamron isn't 90% (just a number I had heard touted around). also saying image quality is 90% is a bit misleading, how many shots do you take to get those images that are 90% as good as the...

I see this touted around a lot. "the Tamron is 90% the Nikon but for 1/2 of the price" Having had a Tamron 70-200mm before and now in my hands is the Nikon, I can honestly say that 10% is a much bigger percentage than it seems. If I had listened to people in the first place I would have...

Personally with all those lenses you have and not knowing whats for what I would stop buying anything new and work out why you're not getting what you need from what you have. Might sound a bit arsey but it's such a vague question, all of those lenses you currently have could 'do' fashion shots...

haha you could be right! gonna feel like a right goon if it is ;)

Just seen this, I'm guessing because it's recessed that it's not going to be the modern day Sunpak 120J that some people search hi and lo for? http://www.lightingrumours.com/monolight-meets-speedlight-in-new-falcon-eyes-strobe-gun-1090
