Has anyone got a Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 on a Nikon D7100. If so would you recommend for main lens for wedding photography. If not, has anyone got any better suggestions in the same price range?

Managed to drop a new Cannon PowerShot G12. Display and pictures now unuseable. Can anyone recommend reliable (and cheap) camera repair service in Midlands (pref Coventry)?

You may well laugh, but I have a £9.99 tripod from Aldi and a £14.99 from Lidl. Both work perfectly well with my D7000

I am trying to set up some lighting equipment on the cheap. I have a couple of SB600 speedlights which can sit on a tripod each. I can buy a couple of 90cm white brollies for £4.99 each, but now need a clamp to attach them to my tripods. Anyone found cheap versions of these or even something...

Just tweaked some (not all) using Picasa.

Have you tried taking picture using a speedlight and set on auto ISO?

I think I just about got away with it. http://www.coventrypeople.com/portfolio194404.html Altough I found myself constantly swapping between A and M modes. I also use the 'party' scene mode when it started to get really dark, which also helped with the autfocus. I'm still a bit perplexed...

Not that I can see.

Thanks - Whilst there is light, I will go manual or even stick to AP. Once it is dark and the disco is in full swing, I may cheat and go to the 'Party' scene mode. Any reason why that won't work?

Going to shoot prom tonight in full manual mode, will let you know how I get on. Bit nervous, since so use to shotting AP. Thanks for help.

Yes, you quessed - live in Coventry!

Has anyone cracked this D7000 auto ISO issue. Despite having a SB600 the ISO defaults to 3200 / 6400 giving very noisy pictures. The ISO sensitivity has a min ISO and shutter speed, but these seemed to get ignored when using the speedlight. Given that I know my flash will give me ample...

Back to hating my D7000! Just when I thought I'd cracked it, I find that despite setting a minimum shutter speed on the DSO sensitivity, when using the SB600 it gets totally ignored, therefore I get very slow shutter speeds. Even using the ISO auto and setting a minimum shutter speed, I find...

Thank you to all who gave their advice. I thought I'd give you an update; Auto focus - I'll come back to this. ISO - Well I think I've had a eureka moment on this. Someone mentioned 'Easy' ISO, which I didn't know existed. With the auto ISO off and the easy ISO on, it all now makes perfect...

Does U1 / U2 default the priority (aperture/shutter) to however you set it. I assume you can still change the F-stop as you go along? By the way Danny - thanks so far for your advice. You will be pleased to know that I'm booked on a course - unfortunately not until July.
