Hopefully I'll be able to test it out at Brit GT Oulton/WEC(ELMS)/Blancpain before the big trip.

Good look taking pix of anything within a closish range with that lens mate

I'll be bringing a 18-55, a 50-f/1.8 and a 55-300 in my camera bag with an older (ish) D40. Leaving the 55-200 at home, and the 50 and 55-300 are new acquisitions especially for the race.

wewantourdarbyback · 26 Feb 2013, 09:40 (Ref:3211056)

Planning on getting a 50 to go with my 18-55 and 70-200 at some point. Priority this year is a new body, hopefully a D700.

Haha when are you ever in a closeish range at Le Mans. Got the 18-55mm that came with it for the pitwalk and whatnot.

You'll be wanting that for wide shots as well mate.

I got a 18-55 and 55-250 Lens.
I used the 55-250 WAY more than the 18-55. However carried the 18-55 around with me all the time, as it came handy sometimes

Simmi · 26 Feb 2013, 18:40 (Ref:3211267)

For me the bigger lens is also compensating for something.

The lack of any clue what I'm doing!

I know the feeling

Once you're there, and in it, it all comes very natural to you!

Having jumped onto 35mm size sensor, with a D700, I've had to re think lenses. I still have the gorgeous Zuikos on the Olympus, but I've gone and bought an old FILM spec Sigma 18-35 for the Nikon. It won't set teh world on fire, but then it was just £30.
I'm still not sure if the 800mm mirror will be of any use, though! That may well get recycled. Thinking of a Sigma 50-500, maybe.

My new addition will be a camera as well this year, no idea what model, lens or size, but its a pretty blue!

Does that mean it's a soapbox instead of a proper camera?

Be careful Victor, remember Helen will be taking photo's in our campsite and no one looks good as they crawl out of the tent after a heavy night

Alright, I'll do my best not to look compromised then.

Inspired by this years green challenge I have purchased I have purchased some biodegradable tent pegs, made of potato starch and polypropylene they will degrade if left in the ground, expecting them to either shatter when hit with a mallet in the hard ground or turn to mashed potato if it rains.
Originally priced at £9.99 for four, mountain essentials obviously had trouble selling them as they were reduced to £1.99 and then in a buy 1 get 1 free offer, so at 25p each what the heck, the metal ones usually have trouble staying in place so they may work.
anyone else bought something silly this year?

Speak for yourself.

2x2 metre poles, plus a 5metre square tarp. Add in bungee corded balls, and I have shade/shelter over a couple of tents.
Something to cook under, whatever the weather.

I'm going to buy a new bottle of sun cream.

GT6 · 29 Apr 2013, 18:06 (Ref:3240671)

that will put the kibosh of a warm and sunny time for sure

Have tested my new Deuter Backpack at Silverstone for the first Time . Much more comfortable than my old Lowepro . Perfect for my cam with the 70-300 Lens . WEC Race at Spa will be the next Test

Check this, had the same issue last year, didn't know what to buy.
It depends on what you want to spend, mine was if I remember correctly 90 euro and is good value for money.
