I'd also look to first knock the aperture back to F/2.8 and practise getiing everything in focus then, and gradually go back up to F/1.8 if needs be. Is it the AF-S version you got mate, so it'll AF automatically? Never underestimate the power of manually adjusting the ring after initially...
Thanks mate, yep, just playing really as I've never used one before. Had to crop as where I'd shot with a stacked ND8 Grad too it was vignetting a little too much.
Hopefully there will be a few clouds in Dubai to play with, but hopefully not too many ;)
ND filter arrived! Sorted for my flight on sunday. Go to test it out and my remote shutter doesn't work; assume batteries have gone. Go out to get batteries, still doesn't work.
So tomorrow I need to hunt down a photo shop that sells remote shutters. Grrrr, is nothing ever simple?!
The for sale section here is good; buying cars from forums tends to be a good things as it's easier to track the history.
If you were willing to compromise on colour, there is a lovely Flame Red one for sale currently on here for a smidge over £2k.
No one is suggesting that you should. It's just seems that for something as specific as what you're looking for, you may need to either a) broaden your horizons a little and search further afield, or b) up your budget.
So you've been waiting a week for a low milage Monaco to come up locally for under £2k? Right oh.
One thing with these cars, buy on condition over milage, always.
Haha, excellent! I need mine mapped to be essesse pace tbh, it's not slow but feels a tad wheezy occasionally.
I'm not sure on the wheels tbh Jay, if I keep the car I'll possibly look to buy some PR 1.2's like in my PS a few pages back.
Was a lovely looking car, wish I would have kept it for sunny days but it wasn't ideal as a daily.
I believe it has since been written off with flood damage. Shame :dapprove:
There's no denying it'll be a good car. I'm sure it'll be be great. The 5 door thing doesn't bother me. Neither does the turbo'd engine, I prefer N/A but as I realist I know that that's not a viable option anymore.
I, however, don't like flappy paddle gearboxes. It's not that they're not...
Looks miles better in the photoshop.
I'm still not a fan, but won't list my reasons as I can't be arsed justifying them to the high horses in this thread.
