hi guys,

i know this isn't fishy related, but alot of you guys seem to know your cameras and equipment, so i thought i would ask.

i went to round 2 of the British drifting championships yesterday, and took my camera along with me,

snapped up a few shots:

i want to get mack into my photograpy, and for the next round am going to try and get a media pass, as i'm there all day anyway as a mechanic to the black car above.

as you can see from the pics in the album i need a better lens to get closer pics, what can you guys recommend to me.
the camera is a Nikon D50

:thanks:

Matt.

I was looking at lenses for my Canon yesterday. I was quite impressed with the Sigma 70-300mm for around £160.

They do a Nikon fit:)
