It's the one genuine bargain in photography. Bang for buck it's by far the best thing you could ever buy in my opinion. I love mine, it's the one lens I can happily spend a day with and not worry about not having the rest of my kit with me.

Hardly worth comparing any figures until next year, this Christmas will be interesting. Pointless looking at a console that has been out a week (PS3), a console that still sells out instantly pretty much worldwide (Wii) and a console that has been out a long time (X360). My guess? Biggest...

50mm 1.8 is cheap and a bit special, probably not worth spending extra on the 1.4. The 1.8 is about £80 usually.

1.5kg looking at the spec, that's a bit lighter than my 80-200 which I can cope with for a whole day at the Zoo or Circuit, and I barely weigh 1.5kg!

The Canon PowerShot A560 Digital Camera on that site for near enough the same price will serve you much better.

Thinking about a new career then? ;)

In my (very limited) experience having 2.8 at your disposal is massively helpful, with an F4 there is always that scope to upgrade, but jump straight in with the 2.8 if you can afford it you can be satisfied with years of service from a great lens, and it also opens up the possibility of useable...

If it's anything like the the Nikkor 80-200 f2.8 AF-S then I imagine it's a bit special. On a general note (as obviously I can't comment on the Canon version) I find the range to be perfect, especially as it's borderline prime lens quality at most focal lengths, I just wonder if 200mm might be a...

The 'Ring sits in that awkward no-mans land, road, track? Insurance companies certainly can't make their mind up. With normal track-days at normal circuits it's accepted that photographers may be there, and therefore it's up to the driver to cover his plates if he doesn't want the plate...

Gorgeous, seen one on track at Castle Combe last year, the pics don't do the colour justice, stunning.

Seen that one on track last year, didn't make it round a corner without spinning :) Fair play for having the balls but reliability doesn't seem to be great, a £100k Evo built specifically for racing at Castle Combe was beaten by an MG ZR 1.8 over the course of last season.

How were the results compared to the Janspeed ones last year Mark?

Love this car, surprises me everytime when you accelerate, after a relatively normal start it just picks up speed at a scary rate. Bringing it to the airfield again soon?

Absolutely, both will hold the shutter open for however long you want.

Had a go at this last night, happened across a bridge over the M4 near a hotel I was staying in so I had a walk down there around 8pm. Unfortunately didn't have my remote shutter release with me so was restricted to 30 seconds, and rush hour had long gone so it was pretty quiet...

I was interested in the RS until I clicked this link... http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/207420/pagani_zonda.html Stunning.

pmsl, I wondered what she was going on about but she has never been wrong before, always spots interesting things on her way home from work.

This seems a bit weird but she has never been wrong with a spot up until now (even seeing a Clio V6 Trophy Rally Car on the road!), the other half spotted this yesterday... A large white van moving at a rapido pace on the outskirts of Chippenham fully stickered up with Cliosport logos (and...

http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/events.asp That gives you a good idea, all the Club Days are free iirc (although I think the RS one costs a few quid), these are the weekend ones... Saturday 24th March – Porsche Club Day Saturday 14th April – Alfaholics Club Day Saturday 28th April –...

A few more...

Track days are free for spectators, it's just Race Days and Action Days that you have to pay at.

They were pretty much all 'of a certain age', I can only hope I'm in a position to enjoy myself like that in 40+ years time!

When do you notice it though? I've had huge prints made and they've been amazing. It's only when I view a file at 100% on a monitor that it's ever remotely noticeable, and I hardly ever do that.

ISO200, original image cropped approx 25%. It was very murky this morning so I did chuck them all through Elements to boost the colours and reduce the haziness a bit, probably didn't help in that respect.

I've always used up to 300mm until now but didn't really notice the drop in focal length as much as I expected. Only thing I can't do is get some nice head-on shots as I would need nearer 400mm for that, good thing is a 2x teleconvertor would still only take me down to f5.6 so I might try that...

Have to admit I was reluctant to go at first as I've never "got" the 911 (or Porsche, for that matter), only went for some practice really. However, seeing the GT3 take Quarry completely flat like it's the easiest corner in the world converted me instantly, stunning cars. The noise was...

No white ones unfortunately, just a few in silver and black, can't remember seeing any white ones apart from the GT3. Yes I will be there on the 21st, then the Airfield the day after!

I wouldn't know a 996 from any other 911 to be honest, is this one..?

Sad to report that the white GT3 hit a tyre wall after a spin, relatively quiet day apart from that.

Immense day at Castle Combe today, some insanely fast cars lapping all day long. The GT3 things (i'm awful at identifying 911s, most look the same to me!) were probably the fastest road cars I've ever seen on the circuit. Friendly bunch of people as well, considering how much money these...
