steveic & andyp - i can't seem to find any photos of your motors... where abouts were you parked on the zone stand? front end pointing towards strip? or rear end?

[dazleeds]

like me they were mainly on the strip

[E30BeemerLad]

Olz, were you wearing a purple coloured t-shirt?

[Steviec]

I wasnt parked in the zone bit for long (sorry guys!) I was parked in show & shine.

[andyp]

i was first of all parked facing the strip where we came in then was on the strip with zaust and daz most of the time in a black cab

[slowlysideways]

Lee - god no! LOL why?

Cool, I recently invested in a D50 with the standard nikor 18-55mm lens. Hopefully santa will bring me a flash unit. Umming and errring about a new lens but not sure what I should go for..... any input gratefully received.

[E30BeemerLad]

Olz, i clocked a guy with a nice bit of kit photographing the drifting and belatedly I thought it could have been you. Sorry I never got in touch as I did store your mobile number too

Blatantarrogance, we're in exactly the same boat as you, D50 in silver with 18-55 lens, missus wants a powerful zoom though and a wide angle too for landscapes.

I'll stop spamming this thread now

[slowlysideways]

Blantant & Lee... You both already have an 18-55mm which is great for day to day, but for motorsport, wildlife etc obviously you'll need a longer zoom.

I have a 28-300mm, but obviously you guys don't need one quite so wide (the range I mean, as you both already have a lens going upto 55mm). Nikon do a nice 70-300mm which is a fraction of the price of the 28-300mm. Sigma also do some nice equivilants, but the build quality isn't as good, and the focusing ring is quite abit noisier due to it being external, as opposed to the Nikon focusing ring being encased.

Hope this helps, you'll struggle to find a decent zoom beyond 300mm without going into the realms of Ԛ£1k+.

Just becareful for the cheaper rip-offs on ebay, that do not tell you about the VAT, and the import tax as they're unwilling to class them as "gifts".

Hope this helps a little, both.

SS.

[slowlysideways]

Lee, your "misses" wants a wide angle lens for landscapes, the 18mm you already have is wider than your "point and shoot camera" (at 35mm). Now, I have a 12-24mm Nikkor, but any wider than that and you have to be careful of Barrel distortion, 12mm is just on the verge of going that way.

Barrel distortion is basically the photo distorting at the edges due to the "fish bowl affect", and it will lack quality for sure.

For the cost of what a 12-24mm is, I'd personally stick with your starting lens, starting at 18mm.

Again, hope this helps.

[REEDY]

Hello mate, cool pics, i didn`t know you was there!! Did you see my motor there?

[slowlysideways]

Yo Reedo,

Only saw you were there, when I got home saw a pic of your car on another thread! doh! otherwise i would have snapped up some more shots since your front end tidy up.

Your sig is still look fresh mate ;)

[slowlysideways]

If anyone would like full resolution images, please just contact me and I'll be more than happy to email them to you.

Thanks.

[Cotty]

If you provide me with your reg number (or just a part of it) then I can let you kno and post what I have.

Did you get any of my car. Silver tourer in the background of this pic (reg no. in pic

[slowlysideways]

Just had a look through, and I'm annoyed that I didnt get everyones cars in

I mainly got the people whose boots were pointing towards the strip, as the sun wasn't in the right place to get a good shot for those that were parked facing the strip

[Cotty]

So you didnt get a shot of the Zone cafe either



Dont worry I got one myself. I have a little 2m pixel digital camera, pic looks better full size but not a scratch on your pics

[dazleeds]

never did get my cuppa

[Cotty]

never did get my cuppa

You only had to ask . We wondered around for a bit to look at the other E30's and the strip, but was around most of the time. I had my E30Zone.co.uk cap on so I wasnt hard to miss

[dazleeds]

i was right next to the cafe for a while but grabbed ant and flung him under the bonnet for some prob solving lol
my fault was busy on the strip and tired as hell didnt have much energy felt like crap all day

[Cotty]

Cup of tea would have sorted you right out.
