:lol: You need the Fuji 14mm, it is brilliant for IR as well as normal landscapes.

I'm in a similar position to you regarding lens selection but I have the Fuji v Nikon FX/DX dilemna.


I find 18mm wide enough for IR. If you go too wide, you can lose some of the impact of the IR effect.

I got a holiday lens for the D500: 18-140mm AF-S f3.5-5.6 DX VR. Very copmact compared to my old 18-200 I had on my much loved and travelled D300. Every bit as sharp as with 140 long enough and edge to edge sharpness with full range and only light stopping down. Down side modest barrel distortion easy to correct in post. Got an as new at barging 2nd hand price!

Also for holiday use with my bird interest will be the very compact 80-400mm I keep on about with the x1.4. Look at my recent Owl pix this combo is so sharp!!!

Haven't used it (the 70-300) since I got rid of the D7000.

You are welcome to borrow it and do your own evaluation.


Gosh! Just got in from a hard day humping a lathe into my shed, wasn't expecting that.

Thanks, I have planned to go down to Cadwell Park next weekend but apparently we only have one car entered, Michael tells me he may not be needed. I had intended to call round if you were home...

That would be good, thanks for the offer, lets see what this weekend brings.

Bloody predictive text, it could start a war one day.

Still waiting for a sensible answer from Michael, in all probability yes, will see you on Friday. Will confirm later.
