    Sigma 150-500 f5 or Nikon 300f4?

    I have a Sigma 150-500, it was left to me in a relatives kit bag, which is quite sad. But as a lens I use it as a door stop for my office, I tried it once and it was giving my camera a catteract. I would buy the Nikon/Canon lens that suits your preffered body and not Sigma, Tamron, Tokina etc...

    Best places in the world for a photography trip?

    I would fly to Phoenix, then head north on I 17 towards Cotton wood and stay in Sedona, use this stunning place as a base, from here Grand Canyon, Monument valley, LA, Vegas etc are all within a days drive at most. J

    Unable to get decent print

    every picture I have taken to Costco and had great service, if you feel there is a cast they will adjust there and then while you watch and advise then print again and only charge for the final image (Haydock store) great service J

    Canon 100-400 dust specks

    I have the same lens with three large dust specs on the inside of the front element, unless I stop well down they do not show in my images, but I have enquired at Lehmans to have the lens serviced and the cost is £130! Might be worth asking fleabay man for some money back towards this cost.

    Well used 70-200, worth a gamble?

    I bought a well used 100-400mm, it too has scratches on the body and three bits of debris inside the front element, however it is a good lens and the only time I notice the debris inside the elements is when it is stopped down to f22. I can get the lens serviced and cleaned by Lehmans for...

    Tempest School Photography

    it is ok if you want to print them and give them out but not good if you want to print a large frameable job for over the fireplace. Book some time in a studio and have a go yourself! tis quite easy with a little tuition.
