Nikon D750 & D780

Oh f*** forgot about filter think I've a few 77mm kicking about hope it 77
 
So @rookies spends about 3 years deciding what lens to buy ranging from £180 used item, then goes and buy a £1500 top of the range lens.

Hope you don't have any complaints as they don't come sweeter than that.

And no, I'm not jealous...at all....honest...

Yep though it through and i though b****r it I go for the full whack and then it less faffing about it will stay with me as long as it live.. I am going to get Proper lens and keep to the same system and just upgrade the body when a nice one appear.. D820 swings to mind..

Never use the pop up. Used the SB700 on camera but bounced.

I bought one for mine, but don't use it now tbh as the lens hood is good protection. YMMV

Flash sync speed is 1/200 or 1/250 so can't use shutter speed faster than this. The SB700 has HSS.

As I said, the SB700 has HSS (high speed sync) ;) The dog pic is actually 1/1000.

It's weather sealed so doesn't matter about the weather :p
 
There are different opinions about using a filter. I never use a filter for three reasons - 1. I use the hood as a protection 2 - See no point in buying an expensive glass with all those coatings and then stick another glass in front of it and degrade the image. 3. The front element of most lenses and specially the pro ones are more durable and can take a lot of beating than most people think. Non photographic Filters are also seen as a marketing gimmick by stores to make good money.

It says the promotion starts from 17/03/16, today is the 16th. Does that mean you bought your 70-200mm VRII a day too early? ;) lol
