At least you’ve now got a portable stool to sit on!!

It’s a lens that’s been coming across my radar (for the same motorsport purposes), enjoy it and we all look forward to seeing the results

No pressure then :) I'm looking forward to the results too. Nots sure I'm looking forward to the upper body work out to get there!

It's a heavy beast alright, should be worth it though.
 
We were enjoying coffee and cake at the Serpentine Lido cafe and got mobbed by the local starling population, I took a few photos of them but lost interest placing my X-T4 on the table in front of me. One of the little reprobates came and stood on the table for long enough that I could turn on the camera and press the shutter release, all unsighted as the rear screen was folded away.
After a slight crop...

Lucky or what?

Edit: It was the 18 -55 lens at 18mm.

Well its rare that I experiment with photoshop, but @snerkler got me thinking, with his radial blur shot......its definitely a bit marmite

and the original here (panning near head on cars with shallow (ish) DOF, a new experiment for me)

Nice, I do think I prefer the original too though. I think maybe the transition of the blur is too abrupt?

Yes, I think Toby might have nailed it. I was just looking at a similar shot I did (with much smaller cars, and by manually zooming rather than Photoshop), and virtually none of it is blur-free:

All great photos but love this one. Lots of time spent on the river there in my fitter days!

"Find relief from stress" could be the wine shop's sales pitch.
 
I popped over to Hylands Park in Chelmsford on Saturday to see if I could catch the planes for the Trooping of the Colour flypast. I saw (and shot) everything, but most of the shots were highly underwhelming; I think it was a combination of heat haze and being out of practice at panning. This is about the best of the bunch, but I can see it's not brilliant. X-T4 and XF 100-400mm, 1/640sec, F/8 ISO 160:
