I am impressed by the 17-40mm lens' macro ability, combined with an extension tube!
This is a matchbox-sized car, and such a shot would not have been possible with the EF 100mm f2.8 Macro lens.
Doesn't it feel like you're standing right behind the car?:cool:

Nope..The model year is 1972. It was designed by Paul Bracq.

Woohoo!! Right answer. I absolutely love that car, and can never find hi-res pics of it. So I started expeimenting with my model to get the 'real' feeling of the car closer to my eyes..:)

It was going to be the M1, but was heavily modified into being the M1.
