Hey all

I bought a D7000 recently, it has a 18-105 lens, but I would like to go beyond this range for when i do Trackdays and the like

i was thinking about the Sigma 120-400 F4.5-5.6 lens @ £650


suggestions?

Not a bad lens, better than the nikon 80-400mm and reasonably fast enough to cope with standard conditions that the UK weather will throw at you, alternatives are the larger sigma zoom's 50-500mm and 150-500mm, extra reach, but slower lenses (f6.3 @ 500mm) or a prime like the nikon 300mm f4 with or without a 1.4x or 1.7x TC. Depends which side of the fence you are and whether you're close to the action or shooting through safety fences

Most race circuits nowadays 400mm minimum unless your accredited and can get on the inside of the track.
 
Problem with circuits is you need both long length along with a wide aperture. Which escalates the price significantly :(

If the budget can stretch a Sigma 120-300 f2.8 would be a good bet?

Already have it, I bought one when i had a D40 with the kit lens (18-55) so it was ideal
but now the new lens is capable of 100mm, i belive the 70-300 one is a bit of a waste
