How many times do we have to hear comments like "I'm allowed to do 60 here" or "But, I had the right of way". Best I experienced personally was overhead by me from a panel van driver who shunted into a line of cars (including me) on the M25. "But you were all stopped". Yes mate, it's the M25!

Coor! - That'll be the day. The equipment exists (CVRS) but pilots' unions have fought its installation for years and years. Might be used in the military though?

I've used Focal since March 2013 after I bought an early D800 and appeared to have focussing problems. It had to go back to Nikon twice before it was fixed. Since then I've used it on three bodies and quite a few lenses. I find version 2 more consistent than earlier versions - Rarely less than...

Same here. I'm working on getting the best from what I have instead of going for the "quick fix"

I'd guess that this is an operating system problem - Or rather an incompatibility between Lightroom and the OS - Perhaps where the EOF marker gets misplaced? I assume you're using the official Insider Program version? If I were you and wished to persist with Win10 I'd move the images in the OS...

I've worn glasses since I was six years old - And that was a long time ago! Initially purely for short-sightedness. I became long-sighted in my forties and briefly went on to bi-focals until varifocals were introduced in the 1980's. I use two sets, one for day to day use and the other for...

Mine is now back from Nikon at at the retailer through whom I returned it. Off to pick it up later. I was one of those who rejected my D750 early just before Christmas when it was obvious there was an unusual and unacceptable flare problem, despite Nikon UK still describing it as a "feature" at...

I'm was aware last week of at least one multi - store retailer where all stock is to be collected by Nikon and exchanged. I'm not sure if action was requested by retailer or initiated by Nikon.

Both Nikon Camera Control and ControlMyNikon incorporate tethered live view, focusing, control of aperture, shutter speed, ISO and a whole lot more. Their respective Web sites will tell you all you need to know.

Nikon Camera Control Pro 2.19 does support the D750 - and the D5200. I've owned and upgraded it (freely) since version 2.0 and Nikon have always been pretty prompt in updating for recently introduced cameras. It is of course somewhat costly at around £135.95 from WEX. A good alternative which...

It's pretty invisible once fitted - Unless you get the alignment wrong of course! - I fitted one from the same supplier to a D5300 last year but removed it a few weeks later as its slight thickness prevented the articulated screen latching when folded back against the body. It was pretty easy to...

I bought this one - Fits perfectly and I'd say very similar to the CGS protectors.

I wonder if that's the same nice guy who told me on the 23rd December, "It's a characteristic of the D750, not a defect". "We had a few in a while back, but it can't be fixed so there's no point in attempting to rectify yours".

I was on the Farne Islands last year where a mob of togs were machine gunning a Puffin which was posing nicely with a beak full of sand eels. Dozens of images of essentially the same static subject. Why? BTW what is the term for a group of togs? Sorry for off-topic

I think anyone is quite entitled to pass comments on images whether they own the camera that took it or not, and yes, I believe you are absolutely correct; The "dark band" is not the problem except insofar as it illustrates the hard cut-off of the "flare". Whether the flare should be there in...
