Comment by Oggy posted on Lens Hood for Pentax 55-300 DAL at 05/08/2010 - 13:00
I have to admit I am having a bit of a wobble here. My principle photo enthusiasm is aircraft.
Please do not take this the wrong people but although there are some very good pictures of aircraft posted here, if you have a look at UKAR we simply lack the long lenses and fast autofocus compared with the opposition.
As such, I feel a C***n coming on. N***n probably have the better lens, but the price is outside my budget.
I will almost certainly keep my K20 as I would find it hard to be without my DA*50=135 or my DFA100.

I think there are occasions where the seller genuinely makes a mistake with the price. In this case, it is doing them a favour pointing out their error. Maybe a PM would be more appropriate though.

Why is dyslexia so hard to spell?

Anyone interested in Auroras might be interested in this. Lancaster University have a free email Aurora alert service.

Hmmm. Seems he still has the killer instinct after his attempt to put Barrichello in the wall as he came past.As Schumaker did to Hill in Australia.

Maybe the Stig bunged Michael a few quid.

I do like the pictures John.
The little chap(ess) in the seventh one should be shown in dictionaries under "being resigned to".

Anyone going might want to have a look here. Half way down on the left hand side is an offer which may be of interest as it gives VIP access and some time airside so you can get closer to the planes.
There are no stand alone VIP tickets left, so if interested, this is the only way you will get one.

I'm no airshow expert, but it strikes me that manual focus might be easier than AF. Especially as the subjects are at some distance, so the amount of focus travel needed will be quite small.
Failing that, what about using trap focus with a manual focus lens?
