great series and some fantastic results on film..

really nice set, with number 1 and 4 the favourites for me

lovely shot Peter - seems to work well on the K1

I was lucky enough to head down to Goodwood for the revival on Saturday...although the pentax K3 stayed at home - as an experiment I have just purchased a secondhand fuji X-E1 to use with all my SMC-K / SMC-M lenses and also my collection of m42 mount lenses.

the idea is to have something a bit smaller to take and and about and encourage myself to carry a camera more often. i was worried how the little fuji would cope, but apart from missing the speed/autofocus of my normal K3 & 70-200 f2.8 for the moving stuff, around the paddock the X-E1 delivered the goods...

here is a sample of the day and a link to the Flickr album - these were all taken with either a Cosinon 55mm f1.4 or SMC-K 28mm f3.5. C&C welcome..

great series of shots..I recognise quite a few of those cars from the FIA Masters meeting earlier in the year at brands Hatch. The 2nd shot of the BMW v Ford battle is especially nice

nice selection of shots (and also got a sneak preview of them via fb... )

I really rate the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 with the K3 and it's become my 'go to' lens for motorsport, but it's also suited to many other uses such as portraits and even it's macro capabilities are not to shabby...here are a few of the best I have had with it....

Some great shots in this series, the long exposures work so well in mono

And it is..?

yes, this is the TSR-2 at RAF Cosford - a great museum to have a wander around...
