More Noise February 26, 2023 Rod Thompson Days two and three of the racing and I have it sorted in my head. Taken with the 75-300 the day before, this lens is impressive regardless of price. The 40-150 f2.8, got a run today, because all I needed were podium and the odd action shot, so I went one weather sealed lens with plenty of cropping and light gathering power with the 1.4 tc as an option, just in case promised late afternoon storms happened. The 40-150 f4 would have done, but the f2.8 does not get much use. Gee that lens is nice. The Bokeh can occasionally get a little busy, but equally, when it plays nice it is sublimely sharp, then “smokey” soft. The kit zoom again in dull light. Lots of big weather around, but it came to nothing. Lots of time to practice my panning. At about 1/180th to 1/250th, I got pretty good, but slower was an issue. The main consideration was a bit of track long enough to get a good slow pan. Where I was was a sequence of corners with a dip. Like most things, fun in small quantities.
