I hear you. When I had the 7D I bought two cheap lenses and that was for a while. Even went on a couple of photography courses. But I simply really enjoy taking photographs which I view very much like golf, all it takes is 2 good shots in 100 and it's enough to keep you coming back
Re the cost, I'm a man of few vices with a father who drilled into him at an early age "buy right, buy once" ... Except as we all know with tech the 2017 version is "buy right and keep updating every 3 years"
Will take a look at those lenses you recommend snerkler. Are there companies that hire out? Just thinking for the outlay would be great to rent 10 over a week then make a decision
Ahh right, sorry didn't realise you'd have a DSLR before, just you said you were a Newbie and had an RX100 data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
But yes, I learnt the hard way. Bought more budget to be sensible and lost money when I sold to buy what I should have done in the first place //static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/facepalm.gif
Have you seen how much lenses are to hire for a week? You'll be talking £100for most
Aye carumba. Will rely on research and this forum then!
Seen some odd quotes on the D850 pricing... Usd3300 and £3500....surely if USD correct then UK price should be around £2600
You’re forgetting VAT.That accounts for an additional 20%. But yes Nikon are charging more for it in Europe than they are in USA.
I'll wait for those grey imports for £2000
Welcome to rip off Britain. You could actually order it from the states, pay all relevant taxes and imports and it'll still be a few hundred quid cheaper. Quite ridiculous really.
im still sat on the fence, but my arse is knacking. waiting for the Canon swiss army knife. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 something like a 5dsr mk2 with 4k video and 50mp(ish) stills.
Sorry Damien, but I'm not intending to sell my D810 just yet.
