Let's have a show of appreciation for those lenses whose quality belies the price. Yes, we'd all like G and CZ in our bag, but what about the glass that cost nowt (bit of english there! Nothing to our friends across the pond :) ) but gives great results?

My two choices are...

Tamron 70-300mm Di Macro. Stunning performance for macro shots, fine for short range wildlife too.

Cosina/vivitar/phoenix 100mm macro. Sharper than a really sharp knife, sharpened by a samurai sword sharpener (you get the idea!). Plastic Fantastic loved by everyone and the stepping stone to macro shooting...

Hi all,

Continuing on with the car theme I decided to post some images of Porsche 911 GT3s racing. All of the images were taken at Silverstone raceway using a Minolta 5D and Minolta 70-210 beercan. All images hosted on my flickr site (www.flickr.com/photos/woodyjnr). C+C welcome.
