Hi there,
My name is Darren and this is my first post on the forum (sorry in advance if it's in the wrong spot).
Ive recently gotten back into photography and have purchased my own DSLR, an EOS 30D (after pilfering my Dads 450D for sometime now). Ive currently got the F1.8 50mm prime and the 18-55 kit lens.
Im looking forward to doing some motorsport photography next year and am looking to buy a more suitable lens for the job. Im happy to pay the money for a professional lens like the Canon 70-200mm F4 IS but cant stretch to the IS or 2.8 versions. So am looking around the £500 or less mark (£500 being the absolute limit). I dont mind buying second hand either if that helps.
Ill be doing motorsport photography as a hobby initially but am quite interested in pursuing it as a possible career path.
I was just wondering if anyone here would be able to make some recommendations based on equipment they have or have used? (if anyone has anything suitable for sale Id also be very interested).
Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,
Great forum folks,
Darren
