Thread: Treated myself also...

Right, just to add to the shakiness of using a non VR lens , I bought a Kenko 1.4 tele today (ordered through DWI).

So now the wait... wait... wait...

Also, I have decided to use the tripod with the lens in the first instance, only taking off tripod for more difficult shots. If this proves to be a winner ill look at a monopod.

Here's a recommendation to fix the tripod head issue:

Better collar and foot: - LC-A10 Package: Collar and foot package - Kit Configuration Page
Better Ball Head and plate: - BH-40 LR: Mid-sized ballhead with LR - Kit Configuration Page

Also have a look at Kirk or Markin.

Christmas is upon us ... I treated myself to the last of the Trinity - Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f2.8.
And with that, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all

It never happened without pictures! Congrats on the new gear and a merry Christmas to you all.

Join the club On an FX sensor that 14-24 is brilliant.

How do you find the LensCoat? I've considered getting these but I'm worried about dust getting underneath them.

I think the idea of the pattern is that you don't

Yes, I noticed he has the digital camo pattern. They do come in other patterns as well as plain black.

- LensCoat

The idea of camo ... to be discreet and hidden ... fails miserably in this case. These digicam lenscoats attract far more attention than I bargained for, and more than naked gear.
Don't have a problem with dust so far, and the extra bit of protection against knocks and bumps gives me some reassurance, whether real or imagined.
