    Yes - I was meaning that it's even bigger than the zook.

    A bowflex won't make me any shorter (not that I'd want to be) - and besides that WT is ghey.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Not good - f8 - f16.

    Not to mention the ghastly chromatic aberration on one of these.

    Only worth the bragging rights really...

    I used to envy photographers who could afford (or had them paid for by their employer) long lenses like this but the truth is, you can live without them! I took great motorsport shots (that were published in Kiwi Rider and daily papers) using a Nikon F301 camera with a 75-150mm F4 lens, backed up by a 400mm F5.6 telephoto.

    I'd turn up at Manfeild and some of the photographers (not Euan Cameron, he's lovely) would look down their noses at my gear, but it did the job.

    I upgraded to a Nikon F5 and 24-120mm and 70-300mm lenses but it didn't change the quality of my photos - I was just able to zoom in closer.

    I've just bought a Nikon D200 digital with the 18-200mm zoom so I'm looking forward to giving that a test at a race meeting or at Wanganui this year. The conversion factor means the 70-300mm lens will effectively give me a 105-450mm so that should cover me for everything!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    I liked my Konica - but Sony corp liked it so much they bought the company.

    Most professionals use Cannon bodies. Anything up to $20,000.
