    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 :-)

    Hmm, time to dump flickr and finally build my own website?

    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...

    Nikon AF-S 200–500mm f/5.6E ED VR

    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 :)

    Nikon AF-S 200–500mm f/5.6E ED VR

    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)

    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 :-)

    Nikon AF-S 200–500mm f/5.6E ED VR

    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...

    Nikon AF-S 200–500mm f/5.6E ED VR

    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...
