    Camera bag for hill walking/ Mountaineering

    You could use a Carabiner to connect the Black Rapid clip to your belt loop as per the Black Rapid Tether kit (see near the end of this View: https://youtu.be/ofRvEHr0w4I ). I use one and stops the camera swinging around but easily unclipped when needed.

    Sensor Cleaning by Post?

    If a blower or suitable dry brush won't shift the dirt/dust or there is oil on it then I suggest 'Sensor Swab's and 'Eclipse' fluid. I've remove oil spots with this combo on my D800E, took a couple of goes to get it spotless but was a simple 5 minute job. 'Eclipse' fluid is apparently what the...

    Nikkor 200-500?

    Thanks for that, I pulled the trigger on it after seeing that price although there is a slight delay in dispatch (they were kind enough to let me know) I should get it at the end of next week. From all the reviews and images I've studied (in the most part thanks to this thread) then it looks to...

    Adding a Tele converter

    Ignoring Autofocus issues, the limitation on the use of the Nikon TCs is a physical limitation. On all three Nikon TCs (x1.4, x1.7 & x2.0) the front element protrudes outside the body so if your main lens has an element close to the rear then physically they won't attach together....unless you...

    SD or Compact flash

    The Nikon D800 series (D800/D800E/D810) only support up to UHS1 SD cards. UHS11 SD cards have a different connection layout which basically adds a second row of contacts which are used to potentially double the throughput. Unfortunately if the camera doesn't have the ability to use those other...

    Travel tripod

    The Mefoto Roadtrip looks almost identical to the 3Legged Thing other than the centre section on the 3LT is split into two sections making it slightly shorter when collapsed. As you are best off using the tripod without extending the centre section it becomes of bit of moot point. I went for the...

    Nikon 28-70mm f2.8 af-s d making squeaky noises?

    It is fairly common on aging Nikon lenses, I've had a few that have done it. If it squeaks in Auto and Manual the focusing system lubrication has dried up or is no longer effective. If it just squeaks in Auto then it could be the autofocus motor on the way out, slightly more of an issue. On some...
