My guess would be that the Sony is better specs wise, but if you're investing in a system that you will take further I'd go for the Canon. It's a safe choice basically, a lot of people go for Canon so there's lots of resources and forums to do with it too should you need any help/advice. I'm...

My new camera arrived today, and I already love it, despite not even having a lens for it yet (that'll be Saturday). The big pro body ergonomics are really refreshing after the D7000's smaller grip, it just feels incredibly comfortable to hold and the grip moulds to your hand nicely. The...

Cheers, Dan!

Any reasonable interpretation is valid, Tom :) So yes

Thanks, Ash :)

Cheers, Jamie!

I could do that yeah, it’s not a huge issue though really so I’ve never taken the time to do it. I’ll consider it for my future stuff though.

The new camera is set to arrive on wednesday, so I need a sale on my 50mm F1.4 in order to fund a 50 for the 5D, I’m having to borrow one for a few days to try it out as it stands. So all you Nikon shooters or people who know Nikon shooters get in touch for a fantastic fast 50 :)

Cheers, I find the ‘windscreen crops’ to suit the movement of the car personally but it’s one of those subjective things :) Yours look great so far!

That’d be an awesome personalised Reg for this car.

I saw that, I was stood right there behind the fence. Riad had gone back to the media centre at that point unfortunately :/

Haha, I do go overboard with it sometimes, I resisted the temptation this time and only did one :p I can't help but feel that some of the shots lose some impact without it, the backgrounds look distracting and strange, that might change when I get the 5D, the photos look good enough to leave...

Thanks all, I wish I could get a media pass, that'd get me some shots I've tried to get from the boundaries of the spectator areas but I couldn't. Oh well, in a few years eh! And Nick, I might send it to the team's Facebook page or something :)

Cheers guys. I look like a lobster with sunburn now though haha.

Mine from the BTCC today in the General Automotive & Motorsport Section- http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?702366-Niall-s-BTCC-Oulton-Park-pics&p=9616914#post9616914

So here are my pics from this weekend- Clio 200 EDC Cup Car by Niall97, on Flickr Insignia Touring Car by Niall97, on Flickr Kicking up the dust by Niall97, on Flickr No smoke, no poke by Niall97, on Flickr Civic Touring Car by Niall97, on Flickr Racing on the limit by Niall97, on...

Love that shot, Yanoo!

Well you could try Nikon’s 70-300 VR? Mid-size, lightweight, good reach.

You could even set it to auto ISO in aperture priority and then it’s just automatic with you controlling the aperture alone. That’d suit that lens, the way I see it is that if you get a fast prime shoot it wide open whenever possible, as that’s the whole point. Good to see you’re enjoying it...

That shot would have looked great at f1.8, John. If it makes it easier for you put the camera in aperture priority at f1.8 and let the camera expose the image for you :)

Looks like it, James. Good shots, Tom. I can’t wait to get all my gear sorted from jumping ship and then try it for more car stuff.

Sounds good! I can’t wait to get a 50 on full frame, I’ve used the exact combo I’m buying before and loved it. I bet 35 is quite wide on FF though isn’t it? 50 on FF isn’t long at all.

Have you got it yet, Matt? I’m going to get a Sigma 50mm f1.4 for the 5D2 like I had for my D7000, but I’m hesitant just incase they bring out a new 50 F1.4 :/

Nice shot A_Cro! I’m not sure I’ll be able to get an entry in for my own theme lol, but I’ll try, all depends on wether I get the new camera in time.

Looks fantastic. I’d love a macro lens but I have other priorities for lenses and limited funds :/ What camera are you using?

Yeah it could be a challenge and make me think about the image more. Besides, long term I’ll be back on my feet with my lenses with a nice full frame sensor behind them! Thanks, Brazo :)

The 10-20 is only 2 months old, and the 50 is 10 months old. So they’re in pretty good condition apart from the odd very tiny signs of use that I’m only listing as a sort of disclaimer if I get a very particular buyer, that’s how small the marks/signs of wear are.

It's looking hopeful, thanks for the post on Facebook too! It's a great help, I had a guy message me about the 50 but the price was too high, unfortunately I can't budge on price due to the amount I need for the 5D :/

Ah right, it’s been a right faf for some people this new Flickr. Everybody is very stubborn when it comes to change lol :P

Well I decided on the 5D due to having used one, I love the images it produces and they do have a rather distinctive look to them. Also, I know people who shoot Canon that while I’m raising funds for my own lenses can lend me lenses from time to time for motorsport etc, and seems as I’d have to...
