    Change of Management at Gilfach

    Does any one know if the rumour is true, a friend has informed me that Pip is no longer at Gilfach and the incoming manager has banned tripods and monopods, affecting birders and photographers, seems a bit odd?

    D700 replacement????

    So Nikon Rumours have a leak that at Photokina 2014 the next FX camera will be launched. Seems its classified as an "Action" camera so can we assume 8fps+ same AF as the D4S & 810 and a 20Mpx + sensor? Might be worth a look especially if its priced between 810 and 610.

    Sigma 150/2.8 vs Nikon 200/4

    I have a Nikon 105vr micro and now as I shoot FX I want to get a longer focal length macro lens, my short list is the renowned Nikon 200/4 or the modern os version of the Sigma 150/2.8 Discounted the new 180 sigma as the stupidly large filter thread stops me from using the excellent Nikon...

    Uniqball heads

    Has anyone got their hands on the Uniqball head as advertised by Andy Rouse. I like the idea of the self levelling outer ball but not wholly convinced it would keep lens upright unless licked down or the tension set to high.

    Firmware update

    I see Nikon has announced a firmware update for D300 D700's to cater for the 800/5.6, not sure they'll be a lot of call for that one lol

    D800e or D4

    Simple question if you had the choice which would you buy? Save money on the 800e get a superb sensor and slower frame rate or the D4 with excellent noise management higher frame rate and bomb proof build. Keen to hear from owners of either and why they made a decision Thanks

    Best VFM lens

    All a friend of mine with a Canon 7D has a Sigma 150-500os lens but finds that at 500 the quality drops off. Would she be better off with a Canon 400/5.6 or a 100 - 400 or is there an alternative out their without going to the big guns? Budget wont allow for a 300/2.8 and TC's Any suggestions...

    Pixels vs noise management

    Wonder if anyone has been able to compare a d800 the d3x and the d3s? Ignoring the obvious differences all are FX but all have different sensors. If you were to balance quality / noise which one would offer the best compromise? My initial thought would be to the d3x ad it's a balance of pixels...

    Disheartend with Nikon spare costs

    Thought I'd treat my TC14e-II to a new lens mount, a simple pressed / milled piece of chromed brass. So contacted Nikon UK and after a couple of calls, they had to call me back as too busy, I was told that the lens plate also comes with the sprung steel washers that fit behind it, a cost inc VAT...

    All assume that this is a 1st year male Crossbill as I can just start to see red patches appearing, at first glance I wasn't sure, white balance looks okay judging by the surroundings Thanks in advance

    AF sticking issue
