When i first started I ended up with a Sigma 170-500 on a Canon body. Lens even then was OK - a little grinding on the zoom ring but a good starting point. Back then you had to be wary of chipping issues between body and lenses but reckon today that should be resolved. Best ask Sigma themselves...

New pants and some paracetamol please!!

I believe that this is still MSV's officially approach in not fully recognising digital media!

Cheers - wise words!! This problem has just become the easy problem - Grrrrrrrr

As I'm going to the venue anyway thinking about halving my fuel costs and assuming half a dozen final pics I was reckoning on about £100-150 in my hand. Too cheap? Too expensive??

Hardly! That would be easy - think of a number, double it and add a zero!!

Recommendations that are realistically priced and likely to be paid

I'm sure you won't be alone! Should be good

Have you considered camping there? Cost of camping stuff still works out cheating and less time consuming than travelling daily.

Chris - don't think this was so much as a rant but just some wise words of advice. Time to re- focus (literally as well)!!

You'll have to ask the circuit about that.

Been in covered stands over previous years and sometimes they're absolutely freezing inside. When I went (not anymore mainly because of cost) I never worried about it being covered. Pick you seat numbers carefully and if it ends up raining you can use a brollie that others in forward rows can't...
