Whats your best lens for like motorcycle action shots? maybe the 80-200 2.8?

I've not shot any motorcycles (I'm strictly a nature buff) but yeah, that'd be the first one I'd grab.

I am part of the Pentax club I have a K-5 with 18-55mm Sigma 3.5-5.6 and 70mm-300mm Sigma 4.5-5.6. Still waiting on the Pentax 18-135mm lens though :/ They reckon before xmas but I doubt it

Still coming to grips with it, it has sooooo many functions !!

What lens was this taken with? any advice on how to get such a nice crisp action shot?

That was taken with a cheepo 70-300mm Tamron (non-IS) on my Canon 1000d.... I pre focused on the spot where I expected the bike to be. Then tracked it through that point in continuous shooting mode.

We have nikon d5000 (friends have d3000 that is pretty much the same, except free rotation display and scene's presets) with 18-55 nikor it came out with, me and my misses are just starting to get into grips with it as we've got it late summer and didn't have that many chances to practice.
I'm sure we'll need polarization filter and 55-200mm lens or something similar.

Thanks for all the input. Finally got all my xmas gear together. Santa was good this year!!

Picked up two bags.. nice cleaning kit... some Eneloops.. and a few other goodies here and there.

Just got an additional lens in the mail yesterday. Tamron 18-200mm f3.5-6.3
I am still waiting for a used Pentax 50mm f2.0 coming in any day now.:BLAA:

Yep mate thats the one , I think it is still the longest focal range available :thumbup: And when matched to an APS-C camera like my Canon 500d it equates to approx 400mm :thumbup:

Forgive my ignorance, but how does your sensor size increase lens length? APS-C is used to describe the sensor size in relation to a APS film camera, no? If you mean clarity when cropping post shot, I guess I see your point. If that is all true, I am pretty excited.
The Pentax K-x that Yammaxd and I have have bigger sensors than Canon does.

Sensor size, Pentax K-x, APS-C 23.6 x15.8mm, vs, Canon APS-C 22.3x14.9mm*… :Flip:

That makes me glad I bought the cute little storm trooper camera. :cheer:

Sensor size increases apparent lens length. It is basically equivalent to taking a picture and then cropping it on your computer. All of the digital "measurements" on the new cameras have a different relationship to each other than the film cameras had.
I'm gonna add to this post tomorrow, the Bordeaux is kinad makign em disoinejted....

Thats nice. I picked up a 18-200mm the other day. It doesnt have the best aperture at 3.5-6.3, but for $189 it cant be beat! Tamron had some great holiday discounts!

Nikonians :: The Nikon User Community is a pretty big one, but they use small white type on a black background, and it screws my vision up too much...
