I think you will find it's your image stabilisation kicking in when you depress the shutter button carmot :-)

Thank you for the heads up Peter, an interesting piece of software, I will be able to improve the shots of my departed parents taken digitally at a time RAW wasn't an option :-)

It was the bro-in-law's car that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it lol :-)

I didn't realise TP gave you free storage, cheers for the heads up Ill look into it (y)

It would seem that a lot of folk are up in arms because a business is cutting it's FREE accounts limits, a Pro account even after the price rise is less than a pound a week as far as I'm aware, I shoot with a £1400 camera, £1300 lens, £75 shoulder strap, on top of that I have tripods, older...

A few ideas. these shots are from when I first started and wanted to learn, I have others in a "Novelty Shot" album on Flickr, I learnt most though from the Fuji forum before they closed it, the members had a weekly challenge were the winner picked the following weeks contest and judged it, it...

It could well be gramps unfortunatly it will still have the same idiot on the end of it lol :D I did manage to get out with it today,I've not re-calibrated it for the body since it came back and it seems fine, funnily enough I've missed it more for it's close up capabilities than the reach :)

I thought I'd better update the progress of my 200-500mm after I sent it back to Nikon, as you know I received and accepted my quote on the 05-09-18, the status then changed to awaiting repair, it was still at this status until the 02-10-18 when I got an email saying my lens was ready for...

Sorry Barry I did say I'd not noticed a pattern on the age that's why I was confused, I think you may have misread or misinterpreted it (y)

? o_O

Sorry for the late reply gramps we have been away for a few days, I've not noticed a pattern on the age when I've read the reports, but the majority stick at 400mm :-)

There are a few reports out there of the 200-500 mm locking up yours is the first I've heard of not not doing it at 400mm, as for your quote that was what mine was the first time around as I said so I'm happy at £ 160 :-)

I've just had my quote for repair from Nikon, the fault this time is exactly the same as last time, but no mention of the slide mechanism being rplaced this time as there was last time it was repaired at over £300, the quote this time is for £160 a much more reasonable price :) I sent them...

I didn't think it was as long ago as that gramps until I checked when you asked , so I think your right, no harm in asking though lol :-)

I got the lens back June 2016 the last time gramps, I must stress the lengthily repair wasn't Nikons fault, it was a combination of BeValued (the insures assessors and repairers) and Fixation who they sent the lens to, at the time Nikon didn't release parts for the 200-500 mm even to their...
