My Christmas gift to me ... courtesy of that awfully nice TP member commonly known here as Kerso ... or Ian ... has arrived ... ;)

My photographic motivation has been dwindling to non-existence lately ... and to try and retrieve it ... I was 'watching' a number of new ... and as new bits and bobs on fleaBay when I came across a 'Kerso' thread on these forums ... ;)

Short story long ... dropped Ian a line and the prices he gave me for two of these items beat even the 'seconds' on final bid price ... :cuckoo:

I have just now received my Nikon MB-D200 Battery Grip ... and got the SB 800 Speedlight last Thursday ... just got to work them out and start the vertical learning curve for the Speedlight now ... :eek:

The items were very well packaged and received on the day as promised ... :thumbs:

Whilst I have to say ... Ian may not be the fastest in delivering/responding ... he is communicative and courteous and you would find it very hard to beat his prices ... :clap:

... and personally I would rather have best price and wait a little bit than pay more and have next day delivery ... impatient as I get (like anyone else) when awaiting new toys ... :naughty:

So ... many thanks to Ian ... :thumbs: ... and me ... for my seasonal gifts to me ... rock on motivation and inspiration ... where the hell are you ... :nuts:






:p
 
Nice one VEN, congrats......best way to test the speedlite and battery grip is take loads of the family opening their pressies!! :)
 
Niiiiice! The battery grip is the mutts nuts and really balances the camera well, I wouldn't be without mine.

Good luck with the SB800 manual, you'll need it! :thinking: :bonk:
 
HaHa... good luck with the speedlight :lol: I received one for my birthday - I think I may have learned the basics of it by the time my next birthday comes around. Complicated or what? :eek:
 
ooh I was looking to get get myself a flash for my D50, I'm guessing the SB800 would be a little over the top / complicated for me at the mo :(
 
Cheers guys 'n gals ... really looking forward to getting to grips (:shake:) with the new toys ... :D

I can see the Speedlight will be challenging although I did bung it straight on the D200 and fire a couple off ... just going to start a new thread with the results ... ;)

Haven't fitted the grip yet Col ... next jobby ... so will let you know ... :geek:








:p
 
Congratulations on the early Christmas, sounds like some good kit you got there :thumbs:

Really need a Speedlite myself (Canon variety of course) :D

Cheers for that Colin ... :thumbs: ... grip certainly 'feels' good m8 ... :D ... we :nikon:

I got hold of one of these > D200 Guide ... explains stuff like the SB 800 in more simplistic terms than the guns manual ... ;) ... and also an excellent read for other D200 stuff too ... highly recommended ... :clap:

Thanx WS ... gotta go for it don't you ... :naughty: ... early xmas pressie for yourself too then ... :D

Maybe ;)

I'm jealous. I want a grip for my KM5D but they don't make one and I don't fancy a DIY job coz me and wiggly amps don't go well together.
 
Could always get a Nikon one Kev ... :naughty: ... ready for the inevitable day you join the Darkside ... :D

Nice one Ven.. That speedlight brings out some excellent images when you get used to it, I am still learning..:D

Glad kerso served you well (if you will pardon the expression)..:nuts:
 
Thanx BB ... I guess we never really stop learning do we ... :shrug:

Just get used to a new bit of kit and lo ... another one comes along and interrupts the learning curve again ... knocking it all for six ... :D


Unlike a certain nations cricketers ... :eek:
