The first 2 were from Super GT opening in Okayama this year, the others from a rainy race weekend at Fuji Speedway.
Thought I am finished with buying lenses, but will have to upgrade from Tamron 17-50 to DA 18-135 WR and from the "normal" 55-300 to the WR version... because IF I ever get the zooms out, it's because I am out and about and can't carry my primes... so I will have to go for WR again
*sigh*
LBA...

Some various Super GT shots with the DA 55-300 (non-WR version): Super GT 2014 - Okayama [Race] by @wullemaha, on Flickr Super GT 2014 - Okayama [Race] by @wullemaha, on Flickr _REN5618 by @wullemaha, on Flickr _REN5707 by @wullemaha, on Flickr _REN5731 by @wullemaha, on Flickr
The lens is a joy to use for Motorsports due to is small size, especially when you see Canon and Nikon shooters lugging around their heavy lenses.
Those professional sports lenses might be far superior in image quality I am sure, but not needed for my limited abilities in any case.
Even though the lens is not the fastest for focusing, I think only for 1 out of 100 shots I actually missed the focus and had to wait for the next car or the next round.
For those types of panning shots (where you want to stop down anyhow, to achieve a slow enough shutter speed), it is the perfect lens!
