I'm the opposite i would much prefer the d500/ 810 body. i think that would be the idea camera, dare i say the d700 replacement that everyone wanted.

I got the D700 replacement I wanted, and more with the D750 :D U1/U2 banks FTW!
 
Just stuck up some of our favourite pics from our weddings and engagements in 2015. All D750. Full Blog post is here.

Thanks David. Now sell sell sell ;). What is the coma like on stars with the 14mm (or haven't you got round to seeing any with this weather). I'm currently using the Tokina 11-16mm DX at 16mm and the coma on the edges is terrible. The stars look like bats not pinpricks of light.
 
Now that the type of screen protector to buy has been determined:) What spare batteries are people using, Nikon or copies from Amazon etc Cheers

I have a Robin who nests in one of our trees and for the last year I have been trying to get him to land on one of my perches, the little s*** always goes on the ground for food, but today he surprised me and landed on a perch and I managed to grab a few shots. I thought they were usually timid birds, this ones not, he hates the site of the camera or me, probably the latter.:(

Shame it was raining, but managed to get some detail even shooting through the double glazed door.

Best capture on ground so far:

Two "Cracking" shots Simon, I'm liking both of these very much.(y)

George.
 
In other news I just cleaned the sensor on the D750, remarkably easy. Never done it before, panic over. [emoji3]

Nikon got spares from digital rev for 30 odd quid with free postage
 
RE: the cleaning, if anyone is struggling with a greyed out 'lock mirror up' option in the Nikon menu, the camera won't let you do it when the battery is low on charge (y)

Took me ages to work that one out!
 
DTSE (or something like that) batteries ad Nikon for me.

The idea of cleaning the sensor myself scares the c$"p out of me......

Vignette is a bit of a none issue really as with lens corrections in post it's an easy fix. And I'm also quite a fan of a little vignette. :D

Seen a few vids etc and focus looks good, anyone have any issues with it?

The only issue I ever had was the size of it (long n skinny). Probably not much shorter than the 150-600 you had. VR works well, and focus locks on like a rabid dog ;)
 
Looks like Ex pro or DSTE then, bit cheaper than Nikon - though can understand why people stick with Nikon batteries. Thanks all

I notice you picked up a VR1, stunning lens it really is, had one for a year or so and was amazing on my 700. I only sold it due to the size/weight but kind of regret it, saying that was a bit much doing street stuff and travelling lol. Enjoy
 
Trying to upload a photo and I thought that the maximum size was 1000 pixels along the long edge. I have exported the photo in Lightroom 6 down to 700 pixels and it is still saying that the file is too large. Am I doing anything wrong. The file size is only 384KB as well.

Been fiddling with the menu settings tonight to program buttons and generally playing with the various settings. Got to Colour Space and I had initially set this to 'Adobe' but the wondered if that was the right way to go. What colour space do you all use and why please?
 
I use adobe too because my monitor can handle the wider gamut so might as well use it.

sRGB for me. Especially if it's for the web.
Keep it to the same space all the way through LR/PS or whatever you use for processing, and output to sRGB.

If you're shooting in RAW it makes no difference afaik, you set the Colour Space after processing when you save.

Set it to Adobe RGB if shooting in Jpeg, but make sure you convert to sRGB after editing, or printing or posting online.

There is the school of thought that says keep it sRGB all the way through. Up to you to decide which is best.
