Thanks for the replies everyone. Picked up a used M6 Mk2 from MPB. Came in great condition, like new as described. Also bought a used kit lens, the 15-45mm. Early shots are pleasing and I love the small compact size. Will maybe share some photos on the forum at some point.

Hi all, Well first off it's been quite a few years since I've posted on TP. Photography comes and goes, but my love for it thankfully remains. I've been using my trusty 80D and lenses for a good few years now but I'd really like something small and lightweight to take with me most times I'm in...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Setting up a focus point before hand is something I've done before with motorsport, so might very well work here. Will try again soon.

Bit late to the party with these, been in between a new PC build and find the motivation to edit from a fairly average set. Must admit I was stunned at how fast these riders are, much harder to shoot than the British GT/BTCC cars. Anyway, here are a few from the day including two from around the...

Hi all, First post in a long time for me. Have had a WCS for 4 months now, he is 6 months old. First visit to the beach today and thought I would try some shots. Don't think I have one shot in focus out of about 50 shots I took. I kep the photo below because I like the expression. I'm also...

Nice set. I can't really go below 1/100 myself, and even then the hit rate is pretty poor. Hoping to get to another British GT round this year if I can.

Hi all, First post from me in a very long time. Just back from a great day at Outlon Park for the first 2 rounds of the British GT series. I'll edit more over the coming days and add them here. Here is a quick edit of one of the many McLaren 720S GT3 cars that were running well today...

Hi all, Haven't posted for a long time.... I recently picked up the above lens. I always wanted to have another wide angle lens after owning the EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 USM a few years ago. I had read lots of reviews on this new budget wide angle lens and was keen to start using it. Okay, so the...

Hi all, I'm contemplating going for the 150-600mm S as my new tele lens. Would love the Canon 100-400mm Mk2, but can't afford the £700 premium right now. Is it fair to say that this big lens lacks the contrast of Canons L stuff? Sharpness seems decent, but most photos seem quite flat to me. I'd...

Hi all, Braved the damp conditions at Oulton Park on Easter Monday. Was a good race with plenty going on around the tight international circuit. Here are a few from the first GT race. Comments and critique welcome as always. It was my first outing at a motorsport event with my new 80D. Was...

Hi all, Wanted to try out the new camera (80D) at night handheld, to see how good the ISO was. Not bad as it turns out.... Monaghan Cathedral by Colin, on Flickr Certainly not my greatest photo, but impressive results from the camera. Cheers Col

Upgrading to the 80D.

Hi all, Early in the new year I plan to upgrade from my trusty old Canon 30D. I have been using it with a 70-200 f4, and various shorter range lenses. I do alot of aviation and motorsport photography and reach is a big problem. I've got a pretty extensive shortlist of lens, from the Sigma...

Cheers Mark :)

Ha, thanks minnit. Thanks for the feedback, can definitely see your points made.
