Thanks for the comments Steve & Brian. Regarding a tripod collar, I found this thread: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/2888491 recommending "a Lens Collar for Canon EF 70-200mm/F4L from ebay. They also come in black. I bought a couple of the black ones that I am using for some other purpose.

Re: Enablement: Tamron SP 300mm f5.6 model 54B

A flat field 300 is kind of rare. Given its 5.6 I'm surprised its not apochromatic as well. I would really love to acquire one of these as well as a pentax M 300/4 and compare. Either one would fit the bill for the relative limited use I would get out of the focal length. Especially with a good TC.

PESO -- Unmarked Police Car

By way of explanation, Police cars in the US at one time were known as Black and Whites, because of their distinctive paint scheme, which fell out of favor for a while but has made comeback recently. There's no particular art involved in this image, just a grab shot, that should be filed under
