    I got a 55-200 MM zoom lens for Christmas. Does anyone on here have a zoom lens that they use? I have my kit lens and a 50 MM. I think this zoom would be good for at the track use.

    I guess if there is anything else in this price range that would be a better options I can return this one.

    I've been wanting to add that lens to my bag. I'm surprised by how often I don't have the range I need. It's great for track usage like you mentioned.

      Here was one of the first pics I took, no post processing.

        i use my 55-300 at the track and auto-x events with good results. its not a fast lens either, just the standard f3.5-5.6

        GT40 Turn 7

        this was taken at Road America, Turn 7, probably about 400 ft away.

        55-300 also has its place in landscape, portraits, etc

          If you wanna ball hard you could get a IS 70-200 f2.8L. I had one for a while and it takes incredibly sharp photos at f/2.8 (more depth of field wide open and low light performance) and the image stabilization is a huge help when zoomed to 200mm

                    Im excited to announce my most recent project. As you may know I parted out a 95 m3 this past summer.

                    I enjoyed it so much I made a website to sell parts off of. I plan on getting a few new parts cars in to sell off of. 

                    In the meantime check out my site!

                    Note : I do price match!

                                      Netscape Navigator is also happy!

                                      I hope you're kidding.

                                        I don't even think that's around anymore is it?

                                        **Update**

                                        I googled it, It turns out it slowly morphed into mozillla Firecrotch
