Hey guys, I haven't been here in a while because I have been a bit busy. I just received this magazine in the mail yesterday... I have been published (Words and photos) and wanted to share it with you all.

Just wanted to see what I could do with the little $80 automatic point & shoot

Thanks, It's an old lens, but it is very sharp and focuses quickly.
I photographed a red carpet using this lens recently and one of the other photographers there (From Getty) asked me what the heck it was, lol. He was using a 24-70 which seemed to exhibit a fair amount of distortion. It tended to make people's extremities and torsos appear neanderthal like. Getty does not allow for this to be corrected either as they only allow extremely minor modifications.

This is a nice set of shots.
For some reason, I don't really receive updates regarding this thread. Then when I remember to take a look, it has grown leaps and bounds!
A couple of the littlest one

The 300mm F4 IF-ED does not have a built in motor. It utilizes the camera's screw driven motor which is why it is a bit slower focusing than the AF-S model. You can minimize focus throw for a bit faster focusing.
Even though most wound consider it too slow for sports, I use mine rather often.

The Tokina 16-28mm is very sharp, but it isn't very good wide open... Then again, would anybody really use this lens wide open?
The Tokina 17-35mm F4 is very sharp as well. It is very good wide open and excellent just about everywhere else.
Distortion is extremely well controlled on the two Tokinas and bests the Nikon UWAs easily. Optimal sharpness between these two Tokinas and the Nikon 14-24mm and 17-35mm are negligible.
It's surprising that these cheap Tokina lenses are as good as they are.

^^^ You and me both!
It was also nice to see from your photos that they are not all framed too tightly. I see too many motorsports photos that do not capture anything more than just the rider. It was nice to see the flow of the track and atmosphere in some of your photos.

Nice shots! Some of the nicest shots I have seen were done in less than ideal weather conditions.

The 50-135mm was a pretty good lens... Cheap too!

I generally purchased based on need. If I feel I need to spend more for a lens, or anything else, I will in a heartbeat.
