Nikon D750 & D780

As Toby says, the 70-200. Shot through mucky glass and iso 2000. Quite pleased with the dragon thingy. The snake hasn't got quite as much clarity but i was quite happy with the colourful background.
You've got a 70-200 why didn't you say. Haha
 
Nice captures David. I prefer the colour version of Iguana
 
Ha, cheers @anibap . Glad there is something for everyone!
I like the tonality on the color version compared to the relatively flat mono.

Glad to see that you are liking and using the 70-200 2.8. I am regretfully selling my fantastic but unused 70-200 F4 today :(.

The funds will help me to buy the most awesome screen protector :D
 
I feel a bit left out with all the screen protector talk so here's the one I put on when I first got the D750, no bubbles no marks and no 'leaking' when the camera got wet ;) I did try the anti-glare one first by the same manufacturer but it changed the brightness and colour so no good for reviewing images. These crystal clear ones are great though, no alteration to the screen and don't reflect too badly either.

I have a temporary iPad version cut out to size and applied on the screen, but need to get a proper one soon.

Only issue with those is you dont need 3 (I have experience, I have about 7000 additional cameras screen protectors in a drawer from buying packs like those), also, youve forgotten the top lcd screen protector :runaway:
 
Not sure if this appeals to you, but you can get the Sigma 24-35 F2 and have like three F2 primes (24, 28 and 35) in one lens for £699 only which is less than buying two separately. It is bit heavy, but a versatile brilliant lens covering 3 wide prime focal lengths at F2 with flexibility of not changing lenses. The lens is super sharp from reviews.

I'd have bought that one if it had OS as I need OS in certain scenarios. I am quite fascinated by this lens though as it covers all most used focal lengths in my travel photography.

Bought and tried three copies of that lens, have you ever had one?

All three copies had severe back focus issues at the wide end and slight front focus issues at the long end and couldn't be fixed using the Sigma dock. Not a lens I would recommend.

That, and why have 1 lens when you can have 3!

I usually make a mess of the first one so it's always good for me to buy in bulk :lol: Didn't those I link to come with the top screen protector? I do have one on, maybe that came with the anti glare ones I tried :confused:

Just checked the reviews, they do indeed come with the top screen protector too :)
 
Mine has started to peel off ...

I had one do the same on my second D750 after about six weeks use, on one corner. Amazon kindly sent me a replacement.

What I have always done is wipe the screen with some IPA to remove any grease etc.... and then blow the screen with a rocket blower and then fix. Only had the one problem over about ten different cameras. I suspect I had a faulty one, for the one failure?

Was due to go in for my shoulder and elbow operations tomorrow, but the Hospital phoned late yesterday afternoon to cancel, they have re-booked for February 23rd. A bit disappointed, as I had prepared for the op's and the sooner it was done, I would have been ready for spring time, if it ever arrives!

Anyway, I have bought a Nikon 1.4TC to go with my 300mm f4 prime and been trying it out over the last week or so. Managed below pic of a Coal Tit in poor weather and shot through double glazed door @ iso 2000, pleased with the performance of the combination and the AF doesn't seem to be suffering.
