I've not been for a couple of years but agree with all of the above. There a few locations around the pits that give unhindered views of the track but not many. At the far end of the mulsanne straight is where I was at the end of e race. The bit that struck me was the state of the cars! They...

If the images being captured by the camera are 100% pin sharp then the problem is with the view finder. Sounds very much like the diopter control is malfunctioning. Does anythign happen when you move it?

Pleasantly surprised with the face to face service, spoke to another employee, when I explained the conversation from this morning he said "well the other option is to try another one" and romptly took one off of the shelf. Let me know if you have any probs he said and I was on my way back to...

Called the shop this morning to pre-empt them on the return - only have a 7 day return period, which I'm out of and they will have to send the filter off. I was quite shocked at how the person on the phone went from chripy and helpful to moody and unhelpful in the space of a few seconds when I...

I did suspect it might be the quality of the filter. I think it may be going back to the shop!

Just taken some more shots. THis time on a tripod using timer so I'm not touching the body. See how the filtered image is OOF.

I'm not convinced:thinking: I pointed the camera out of the window this morning as I had 5 mins to spare and the camera will not focus with the filter in place at long zooms - the viewfinder image isn't sharp but the AF activity was normal.... I'll try and put some proper time into this at...

More stuff to look at and think about, I'll put up a couple more images from the same set later and see if we can bottom out the camera shake theory. thanks for all the advice and discssion - really useful stuff :thumbs:

Here are a couple of with and without shots. With the filter on Same camera settings but no filter, rotated my position about 30' to take this shot.

Here is the offending item in question

Lots of posts for me to think about here - so thanks for all the input :) Here's the brand/model of filter (ignore the size) for those that asked about the filter type.

I've started to ake my first tentative steps into the world of filters. I was in a camera shop on friday afternoon and and picked up a CAMLINK 67mm Circular Polerising filter for my Nikkor 70-300VR lens My thinking is, as most of thime I point it at cars in the sunshine this would be a...

Rachael, Soem really good advice here :) Have you been out and about and handled any of the kit mentioned? Doing this really helped me decide the brand I preferred - if the logic of a device doesn't work for me then its a no-no (same reason I've never had a Samsung mobile phone!) My second...

Ahoy :) Think we'd established that, but thanks anyway:lol:

I've currently got both and they are both great cameras. only had the D60(bought 2nd hand on here) for a week so not had to chance to really use it in anger yet but, On the surface there isn't much in it so I'd say save you cash, pick up a 2nd hand D40 and a good quality lens - it will do you...
