Yes - I know. I know that you can crop. I was simply saying that with the OP wanting both motorsport and plane shots that the extra length is more beneficial than the speed. Cropping a 200mm shot is never going to give the same result as a 400mm.. 400mm Cropped 200mm And both...

Yes... but again.... animals 3m away aren't the same thing as aeroplanes at 4,000 feet ;)

I assume the 2014 model will have the vinyl replaced with gold leaf lol

Yeah we did some back to back tests against the 70-200 2.8 in a studio. They are both sharp but the 135mm f2L is ever so slightly sharper. The AF is insanely fast and .... this is difficult to word but the 135mm gives a very pleasing silky bokeh that just makes me feel warm inside lol It's on...

I think that rule applies to all the L lenses lol

Other thing to look at mate is the 135mm f2 If you want pin sharp with an amazing DOF - it's £400 cheaper than even the non-IS 70-200 ;) I spend way too much time renting and borrowing lenses - so much so that I can never decide what to actually buy lol

Thing is though - comparing the mega resolution of a 1DX to a 6D isn't really fair lol Also he stated he wants to do planes and action - I still don't think a 70-200 is right. You can't just choose to walk onto a runway to get closer I loved the 70-200 2.8 non-IS I had... it was the best...

There's a massive difference between motorsport and aeroplane shots... Even low flying at shows I stick to my opinion that you need the extra range of the 100-400mm over the speed of the 70-200 2.8 If you were shooting indoors or wanting to do a fair bit of closer/studio work I'd say the...

In THEORY (and a few people have tested them) - the longer inlet length should bring the torque curve a bit lower down the revs - so there's a bit more mid-end grunt I figure as renaultsport designed the original inlet to go all the way up and over the engine to get the longest length...

Have a look at the 70D coming out next month - it's got much improved ISO capability, an insane AF system, in built wi-fi. It's what I'm going to be buying Personally I'd buy that and upgrade your glass, the lenses you have aren't brilliant. I'd always go for good glass over a body

Minor update... Swapped my 90mm trumpets for 120mm ones Sorry for the crap instagram pic Also found one of my injectors was missing - which was causing a bit of a missfire and apparently ruining my MPG quite a bit Had 8 injectors so played around till I found a good set - car feels...

Yep I shot Waddington air show at the weekend with a 70-200 2.8 IS on a crop and it wasn't long enough. It's also not quite long enough for some of the shots I'd like from track side It's my mates that I'm using for now - but I'm looking at the 70-300 in a few months as I want a bit more...

Well ok yeah - but unless you're on the edge of the track (like cadwell) it's too short :P

Right... 70-200mm on full frame is too short for motorsport stuff. You would definitely need the extender. You wont get a 70-200 2.8 + extender for £1k - or if you do it will be the non IS version and the IS is VERY nice IMO go straight for the 100-400 or the 70-300 as both have IS, both...

Are you definitely wanting full frame? What lenses have you got?

As said - my last 2 exhaust systems after 2-3 years all the internals had burnt out and they were deafening anyway. So unless you have an openable silencer and you can replace the internals it's pointless buying a "lifetime" exhaust

Also my understanding of the last ruling was that the Wednesday test days are excluded from the 92 days anyway - residents are just trying to restrict the noisy weekend sessions.

I have to say though Mallory brought it on themselves Driven there a few times and the noise test is a fat guy waving a mic somewhere around the back while you do 2k They don't take it as seriously as other places and the circuit is very close to housing.

LOL I never said the rust was the cause - I said the rust made me think it was older than 18months ;) Yep - which is exactly why the K-Tec built exhausts have those gussets on ;)

A) It's very rusty compared to mine (the welds, the rust on the pipes) - yes it would metal polish up but mines 3 years old and neither me nor the previous owner cleaned it - so it still looks older than 18months to me B) Yes - it's a stress fracture and it's not the first to do it. There are...

You know seriously I don't want to start calling people liars - but i'll get pics of mine when I get home. There's NO WAY that's 18 months old. The rust on it is insane!

Loads of orecas sold - I've seen them 3 or 4 years old and fine. Mine is well over 3 years old and polishes up like a mirror Either it's dropped and been hit at some point or it's been bouncing around on knackered rubbers - but somethings caused that to split No offense - I realise chopping...

That's weird - mines way older than 2 years and still shines up like new!

This IMO They do it everywhere - even at Donington which is at the end of a f*cking runway LOL If you don't want to live near a race track then don't. It's not rocket surgery. There's a fair few of us that would love to live near a track so the houses wouldn't be difficult to sell!

Beta 3 finally added back in "your number" at the top of the contacts page. Thank god I can never remember my own number lol

I'm guessing they didn't torque up the 2 strut bolts enough and the camber bolt spun round. Possibly caused by jumping kerbs and spinning off lol

Hahah you must have had a cheeky grin passing that racer.... I bet they wish they could have bodies lol

^^ This. I'm gobsmacked but fair play to the guy

Was gonna say - don't see any harm at hooning about in a car park, he wasn't causing any public damage.
