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.

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.

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 |

For me the bigger lens is also compensating for something.
The lack of any clue what I'm doing! |

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. |

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? |

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. |

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. |
