Nice! I'm keen to get out to Queensland Raceway to take some shots sometime. Keen to see your photos!

Agreed. I love my Sigma Art 50mm 1.4.
Although I preferred the previous model shape and that almost suede texture they had.

Gear: Canon EOS R with a mix of Canon & Tamron lenses.
I don't take photos because I am good at it, I take photos because I like to.
Oh cool yeah I'll see if I can come along! Is it free to watch/photograph?
It's $20 for Saturday, $30 on Sunday or a weekend pass is $40, I have put a link blow for you to have a look at if you like. If you download the flyer ignore the dates it is last years one.

New (to me) Gear Day today
Picked up an Olympus E-M1 MkII from eBay recently at a good price, which arrived in the post today.
Initial looks reveal that it is a significant upgrade from the old E-M1 MkI.
I may have to partake in this "exercise" thing so that I can go out and take some photos
My new Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Lens arrived today!
Poor old tawny out the back got the 1st look down the barrel
Sorry, 1st photo and I chops of the tail
this ones a bit better:
now to learn how to use the lens well

Of course, I can get a lot closer now, so can deliberately crop more... but will get plenty more opportunities to practice
This is 1980s hard-core Nikon camera porn. My latest babies, near mint Nikon F3 and FM. I have never had an F3 before and it is a fantastic camera, but after a play with it, I prefer the F2 and the FM. I also have a FE but it is in pretty average condition. Still, other than build quality, I think a superior camera to the F3 when it comes to how the controls are set out and operation.
Must buy some film and give these puppies a try out.

Olympus Pen F with Metabones Speed Booster and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 or Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 or Nikon D800 with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8. The need to keep in touch with the past is a Nikon Photomic FTn or Nikon F2A and a Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 AI
Great to see these old beauties Peter being looked after. Do wonder in the future with these amazing mechanical shutters with your FM and F3 whether they could be highly desirable items one day like old easy to maintain Holden Monaros or Ford Mustangs.
Cheers Nick
