Never mind, sorted

I lost my sb 600 for around a year, when it turned up the batteries had corroded and it wont even power up now with new batteries I have cleaned the terminals and applied wd40 but it still no good. Any ideas? Steve

Hehe, yes I loved them, along with Camel and Rush. Happy days. Steve

Happy new year all. After a long absence not only from this forum but from photography in general I have taken the bull by the horns and ordered a lovely new Nikon 24-70 2.8 lens to pair with the D700 I have had from new but hardly ever used. Myself and my wife started up a new charity a few...

great service in the past, not the quickest delivery, but just as described every time. Steve

Could not format the card in camera, as soon as it powered up, just got format message on top screen, no functions would work at all. Lce have managed to retrieve all the images, so all's well there, cost, £12, took 3 cd's. Excellent service by the boys there. I did try to use my own...

Can anyone advise about any possible options for a cf card that has been damaged. The cheap tesco card reader has damaged the contacts and I cant retrieve any images from it. Sods law it hapenned yesterday as I had just taken pics of our now dismantled conservatory, that is advertised on...

I have made my mind up to buy a Nikon 24-70 to match with my D700, question is, what is the best filter to use with it? I dont like the idea of spending a load of money on this lens, to use a filter that will affect the awesome optics it has. Any suggestions? oh and anyone know of a...

I want to start trying my hand at motorcycle racing photography and wondered what would be the best lens to look at getting. I only have the 70-300 vr that has any sort of length and realise that with ff I will need a good bit more. What choices have I got without breaking the bank? Wondered...

I bought a new sb600 last week, it had one included in the box along with a nice pouch. Both listed as 'items included' in manual. Steve

I know how you feel, I had a Pentax K10D, my first dslr. I loved it and have some great pictures from it. I moved to ff and got my D700, but I was sad to part with my first baby............things were simpler then too....lol. Steve

Bad luck. Still warranty should cover cost, its sods law that you needed it though! Hope all goes well. Steve

Mine came bundled with 24-120 vr, at jessops for £1995 nearly a year ago. I know its much maligned, but I think its ok, plus if you have no other Nikon lenses at least you can fire away straight away! To be honest I think its a good lens, Ive had some cracking results with it. It cost £599...

Just 'modded' my 700 to use the rear dial, brilliant! Just shows how well I read the manual , lol. Steve

£70 would be great if it was the Nikon, £99 posted from Kerso for mine. Best price on Amazon £96.95 + £3.45 P&P Steve
