I have several shoots to do over the next few months. The images here are from yesterdays visit. A preliminary test shoot to get a feel for the place. Hopefully on the next visit the bikes can be taken outside.




























Best regards

Maybe you should arrange to meet up!

They would probably compare the size against their 400 f/2.8's, 500 & 600 f/4's or were you thinking that they may be envious? We are talking about a fabulous lens in the 250-600 but sadly it's not readily available and turns up once in a blue moon.

Experience tells me Gary that yes, owners of 500 & 600 F4s are envious. Explaining the 250-600 zoom range, constant F5.6 and min focussing distance of less than 12ft gets them excited, especially when they have only just got a '280-560' f5.6 and it costs £12,000. Did you think they wouldn't be envious?

Silly me. They could jump ship to Pentax and buy a new 250-600mm where and for how much?

Looking forward to seeing some hand-held shots....

My one and only shot with it so far ... I always use this street lamp to test a lens, if it picks out the pattern on the plastic then I'm ok with the quality/sharpness.

600mm wide open @ f5.6 ... HAND-HELD

Uncropped, bit of contrast/sharpening added.

I doubt that you'll have any issues with this glass Mike. A Wimberly etc may be in order for the air shows?

Best regards
