Hi there,

I know it is a long shot, but I will try anyway.

I am going to Silverstone in September. I usually shoot landscapes but really want to try motorsport. So far, for my needs, a kit lens was sufficient, but I do realize that there is not much I can do with it in terms of motorsport photography. So I thought that maybe there is someone on TP who would trust me enough to lend me his lens for 2-3 days? I have a Pentax K100D, and anything over 200mm would do. I have a few filters (ND and ND grads) that I could borrow in exchange.

I live in Glasgow and would rather meet this person (for their benefit).

Please, let me know if you are ok with this.
Thanks

Pawel
 
Another option could be Lens For Hire an advertiser on these forums! Although I'm not sure if they supply Pentax :shrug:
 
You thought about buying a 2nd hand one and reselling after using it? Will cost alot less than hiring one in the long run (just incase nobody has one they are willing to lend out).
 
Thanks for responses and suggestions. I haven't tried all of them yet, just the better known ones. Buying and re-selling is not a bad idea, although I don't think my wife would apperciate spending any more mone on camera equipment (fact that I would sell it few days after would simply not work!!!) :)
Thanks
