Going to Nurburgring next month so my friends can race their cars around the circuit. Personally I'm not that bothered about going around the track and not taking my car so taking my MTB and camera so I can be mobile and hoping to get a load of shots of them at different points around the...

This.

Not sure you'll get anything much better than the 50mm 1.8 for that money really. 50mm 1.4 is really nice for portraits but won't give you more reach. 70-200 F4L makes a lovely portrait lens for about £400 2nd hand last time I looked but doesn't go as wide as you want. If you don't have an...

Welcome :D

Yeah was my first L as well. I loved it but unfortunately had to sell it as once I bought my 100-400 it never got used :(

Got a lovely canvas on the wall of a pic I took last year of her. My fave plane, will be gutted if she's grounded, but we get this every 6 months or so, they've managed to keep her flying so far!

Found this myself, and my GF's Dad ordered the wii world tour for £75 and I got myself a metallica guitar + game for £29.99! Got a couple of quid more off using quidco :)

hi m8y, found us then :)
