Number 7 is fabulous with knobs on - it has a 3D look about it. The image quality on the subject is really excellent (just don't like the bokeh in the likes of 2 which is a shame otherwise I'd buy the lens in a heartbeat).
Number 7 is my favourite from the set, I know what you mean about the bokeh in No 2, it seems a bit harsh with 'messy' backgrounds. For the zoom range to me its something I can live with. Still have the DA*300 and 1.4 TC so may have to compare both of them side by side at somepoint.Number 7 is fabulous with knobs on - it has a 3D look about it.

Hi Pete,
No media pass but I was fortunate enough to get access to the grid walk before a race.

Do you have a media pass George? The grid and pit shots certainly look like you do
I think I've got about as good as I'm likely to get at panning shots, need to work on diversity now which I guess also comes from knowing the tracks better
I see you found the Team Hard comp on FB along with John Beardon there's some good Pentax shots entered there, lets show the Canikon masses how it's done

You've stuck some impressive panning shots on your FB page, I always find the qualifying day an easier option for getting round the track and tacking pictures. Race days are generally rammed and make taking pics harder work.Do you have a media pass George? The grid and pit shots certainly look like you do

Few shots from Sunday (including some for Drew and David !), I don't tend to take too many on race day if I've been to qualifying most shots from the pit walk and paddock area.

Nice set George, thought I might run into you on Sunday but no luck. I spent the morning by the chicane and the afternoon watching the racing from Hollywood.
The 1/80th pan at 250mm is a tough ask, were you using a monopod?
Thanks Pete, I was looking out for another Pentax but didn't see one. We may have passed each other during the pitwalk as I believe you were there for that ? I watched the racing from Hollywood as well other than the last race which was from Redgate. Nice set George, thought I might run into you on Sunday but no luck.

We were probably very close to each other at some points of the day lol.
For panning shots I prefer handheld and try and get a smooth action following the cars round, just started using the monopod for head on shots, no 14 above where you're waiting for the cars to come through and it allowed me to push the camera lens right up to the mesh fencing as well.
