Advice Required for 300mm Prime
Oh yeah, I can just see him getting into a major public sporting event with a rifle stock
I'll also be taking my kit to the MotoGP in June.
I will be taking my 50-135 and my 55-300, I also fancy having a go with the 1.7x adapter, but have no idea what the results would be like for this kind of shooting, I can but try!
Good idea to talk to SRS though, I had thought about mentioning it at their open day, but never got round to it - too busy fending off the desire to buy more lenses!
Good luck!
Plenty of stuff - not enough time....
Apart from some PF in extreme circumstances (black suits against white water in bright sunlight when photographing surfers) we think it does a good job and certinly good value for money if you can find one.

We have a manual Tamron SP300 f5.6 that I picked up with adapter a few years ago at LCE for less than £100 - I think less than £50. (KIV not the much pricer / bigger better 2.8.)

I'd come across this one recently while surfing the tinternet for a few ideas and by all accounts it has received very positive reviews, but they don't seem to crop up very often, defintely one to consider though, thanks for the input.

I'm off to the MotoGP in June at Silverstone, I've got Granstand tickets so I'm after a 300mm prime mainly for grid and pit shots. Any suggestions with a limited budget? I'm quite fond of manual so I'm not adverse to the older primes and no I'm not in the market for a DA *300mm.
I've seen the Tair 300mm for about £90 and realistically this is around my budget.
Cheers
