Oh yea! Just the right shutter speed to show motion on the tires but stop the race car Nice shot. John Power Racehorse in the desert

I've just spent a day down at Laguna Seca, getting a few shots at the Monterey Historics. Imagine my astonishment to run into another *ist-D user (amongst the flood of Canon and Nikon gear). The other guy also had a DA 16-45 in his camera bag, so I got to try it for a couple of shots. Unfortunately it was really too wide for where we happened to be, but my first impressions of the lens were quite favourable. The one-touch manual focus on the *ist-D is definitely a nice feature, although I found the focus ring a little narrow for my taste. I guess this was karma in operation - earlier on I'd given another Pentax user (with a SF-X) a chance to play with the FA* 80-200/2.8 while I was using the 28-105. Here's a shot from the afternoon (taken with the 80-200): <http://panix.com/~johnf/temp/mh2004.jpg> OK - strictly speaking it's not really a 'historic' candidate. But Ferrari are the featured marque, and they brought some nice toys.
