choffer Posted July 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2013 Any suggestions for where to hawk some old kit? Been asked by a friend to see if I can get a decent price for a mint original Nikon F with a tonne of accessories, lenses and other bits and bobs. He needs a fair price but don't really want to do down the ebay route.If it really ia a mint Nikon F then Grays of Westminster are the people you want to deal with.I've sold quite a bit of gear through them and always found them fair with their grading and price, though you'd obviously get more through a private sale, they will probably give you the best second hand through a dealer price Cheers Bicks. Looks just the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMFy Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I done gone bought the wrong **** lens from Value Basket for my trip to France at the end of June. It took them three weeks to deliver it, and when I eventually got it, I found the Auto Focus is not compatible with my Nikon D5100. Now the bastards are ignoring my emails when I try to contact them about returning it. It's been out of the box for about an hour, and I assume it will work fine with a compatible body. Anyone interested in making me an offer for it? Otherwise it's going on eBay this week. I'm going to get either the 35 or 50mm AF-S f/1.8G instead... ^ Photo taken with my phone. My photography is better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarjei Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Nice.. I made the same mistake way back when and got that one. It's not that it is not compatible, your camera doesn't have a focus motor, which is built into to higher end cameras. So in example that lens would have auto focus with the D90/D7000-series. It's good, but if you can afford it the f1.4 is worth the money in my opinion (and has built in SWM so will auto focus) and will also cover and be even better on FX-sensor.

Risso Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Agreed, the 1.4 if you can stretch to it, is amazing. Best lens you'll ever own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I've started to go gig photography and stuff for events as I'm working for a friends company. I'm not being paid at the moment as I'm still learning and my images aren't exactly great at the moment. Anyway, I got some pictures at the Liverpool Music Awards on Sunday. Take a look at the pictures on my Flickr page if you fancy it: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjHKQBWL I've also started a new account on Twitter that I'll be using purely for photography in the future. If any of you fancy following me on there then my Twitter name is @Matt84_Creative Any feedback and tips would be much appreciated. I'm already aware that the images I took at the Liverpool Music Awards are far from perfect, yet I'm happy with some of them. The noise on a lot of them is annoying but I'll try to work on that in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
