Nikon D750 & D780

So much for picking my lens up today. After the crap service i received from TNT on Thursday, I've experienced even more today. Arrived the Nottingham depot at 9am as instructed by the CS advisor i spoke with and it was all locked up. Closed until Monday.

Brilliant.
 
How can they (couriers) be so awful yet remain in business? Of course I am generalising but most of us would be out of business /a job if we worked like they seem to.
Hopefully the drive to and from the collection point wasn't too long..

That's pretty bad
Nothing worse than getting faffed around like that, well maybe knowing your new toy is under lock and key in there unnecessarily adds to your pain
At least we have TP to get it off our chest :D
 
This was after they falsely stated that they tried to deliver the item (knocked on the door, no answer) on NYE which they didn't as the wife, kids, mother in law and sister in law, nephew and niece were all sat in the front room.

Luckily the forecast tomorrow looks rubbish anyway so it wouldn't have been used anyway but it just means the missus faces another day waiting in. This could cost me another trip to the shops which is bad news.

Meh.

TNT are burgers for doing this!
 
I thought it was just because the driver wanted to clock off early with it being NYE. Did a bit of googling and found that the internet is littered with the exact same complaint. In future i shall request for a different courier to be used. Awful service as a whole although you do get a few good CS assistants.
 
Did someone mention TNT? :eek:

Okay, so I've had a week with the camera now and I can honestly say that I love it. The ergonomics, the IQ, the WiFi, AF - everything is awesome.

EDIT: Anyone who knows me will understand how big a deal this is. ;)

Most couriers are the same. Mostly because of s***e drivers wanting to knock off early.

popped out this morning, and managed to snag a robin. First time any birds have been about for a while. Pretty happy with this :)

WB issue ... replaced now

"Cracking" shot Paul, great comp' & detail, and spot on exposure.(y)

George.
 
I have a Meike grip for mine that came with a remote. The remote stopped working ( no green led when you press the shutter release, and no shutter release) so I was sent another one....which is exactly the same. I'm beginning to think I am doing something wrong. Both are set at channel 00, and neither work.
Anybody else had any problems with their Meike remote?

New batteries? I find mine can stop working even when the battery indicator shows 1/4 left.
 
Another "Cracking" shot from you Paul, great detail, exposure, and comp'.(y)

Nice pics Paulie and Simon. My new toy has finally been delivered and is waiting for me at home! Hurrah! Downside is that it's dark when i get home and the weather forecast shows no signs of letting up anytime soon. I have the dock coming this week also and I'm contemplating ordering a set of covers for the lens.

I've recently got the sport version but not had time to use it with chrimbo and the weather. Will be interested in the benefit of the dock
 
I want a 50mm f1.8g back in my life!

..and I can't wait to hear how both you and minnnt get on with the different versions - I am leaning towards the 'C' version for its lighter weight, smaller size and cheaper price. By selling off my Sigma 35mm f1.4 which I am going to get little use from I can cover a large part of the cost which helps, especially at this time of year..
