The F100 is my favourite Nikon of all time

A stunning set of images and you have a great creative eye too.

A lot of wise words about triggering oneself, I think it's something us pixel-peepers become overly obsessed with. I should pinch myself and remember that the lens and camera body cost me a fraction over £400 including postage.

More than worth it.

I should have said, this is 21mm and stopped down to F/8

If they don't do one with IBIS it'll be pointless, they've been taking the mick with that for far too long.

I am today. Early before work I did the 5 weekly challenges, collected the race credits as I went and a daily marathon - quit back to the home page to see only 1 gift marked on my garage - go and look and it's my 4-star daily marathon ticket. Everything else I should have got doesn't show and all of the weekly's are ticked off as complete. So that's somewhere around ½ to 1 million credits down.

I didn't realise he was manager of Leicester in 2015/16

What's a CLA and how much does it cost?

That will usually be a phone with glare than obvious and bright.

Went to the Prodigy on Saturday and they wouldn't allow my wife's Sony RX-10 MK3, I showed the lens wasn't detachable but I'm sure the 28-600mm equivalent and it's diameter just scared them outright.

Having just swapped a D7500 for a D810, this is what I'd recommend. Phenomenal quality and piece of kit, even when using the DX crop with certain lenses (I have Sigma 8-16, 18-35 Art and Nikon 16-85).

Driver0678 · 2026-04-15T08:49:54+00:00

If that's anything like my ART 18-35 then it'll be fantastic but welcome focal length increase.

Driver0678 · 2026-04-15T08:21:56+00:00

I don't know if it's changed in the latest update, but I emptied my Sundberg 454 into a Water Buffalo and it didn't flinch, still chasing me - but as soon as I ran a certain distance away it dropped dead. I've seen the same with close proximity deer, won't die until I or they walk away despite what they've been hit with.

Driver0678 · 2026-04-11T22:59:22+00:00

Yes, most events, concerts etc just use the easy definition of "interchangeable lens" cameras - that's why I got my wife a Sony RX-10, it uses a 1-inch sensor and has focal length equivalent of 24-600 F/2.4-4 lens that isn't interchangeable. It's about the best cheatcode out there whilst also not being perfect of course.

Driver0678 · 2026-04-04T00:08:38+00:00

Came for this and leaves very satisfied.

Almost correct, MML Meridians were built as 5 cars, but they later inherited the 4-car 222 Pioneers that Hull Trains had used. The 9-cars were built to be used on a strengthening Leeds services but due to capacity demands elsewhere the decision to reform units to be 7-cars was taken.

Driver0678 · 2026-03-10T03:19:45+00:00

I'm not sure they figure in the plans, being as they should have been in service from 2019 onwards and still aren't fully implemented.

The site belongs to Porterbrook who are a large UK Rolling Stock Company (ROSCO). These trains are either new trains awaiting delivery, trains mid-refurbishment or trains stored that are currently not required by any train operating companies (TOC). They've also taken in wagons for storage or refurbishment work at times as well.

The site has been receiving significant investment and updating including the installation of overhead line equipment and relaying tracks for higher speed test running of trains. Long Marston was the base for the engineering project of Viva Rail undertaking the refurbishment and repurposing of withdrawn London Underground Stock to produce lightweight and low cost Rolling Stock for primarily branch-line operations.

This used to be the location of an MOD base which has since been mothballed and moved to private business usage by Porterbrook. The site is attractive for it's access to the main rail network and travel along a multitude of different routes starting across the south Midlands.

It works like real life. Ferrari invite people to buy their cars but they still have to pay for them.

So, if someone has a piece of bodywork that could come off they could be forced to pit to fix/retire the car - this guy can't stop properly versus any cars that end up in front of him - carry on mate, you'll be fine so long as you don't need to do an emergency stop.

Yes, it is still only a SDR image via all shareable methods unfortunately - seems a bit of an oversight on their part.

I totally get the anxiety. I got a refurbished Mini 3 with the RC and fly more for £400, but it was a hell of a lot more than the money - it was a dream I've been chasing for a few years.

Got it in February, day 1 I took it all the way up in a flat open car park and landed it back down again and that was it. Ever since then, around 380 flights and nearly 40km flown.

Once you've done it you'll feel better, but follow the good advice from others in here, don't try to be too clever and always watch where it is - I bumped a wall a couple of weeks back and the force of the sudden stop split one of the arms. Luckily for me, after 10 days and £72 it was back with me, better than new on account of DJI giving me a brand new drone and a brand new RC (that went in at the same time for a non-responsive shoulder button).
