There might be times where you're closer to the cars (pits, etc.) and you might want to zoom out. That would come in handy. 5D * 20D * XHA1S * HF11

Nov 11, 2006 22:02 | #4 My next lens will be the 300 f2.8 only because I am too impatient to wait untill I have saved enough money to buy the 500 f4. Both are good for motorsports. (Or birding in my case.) Two bodies, 70-200 on one, big prime on the other is the way to go, if you can spend the dough. Canon G1X II, 1D MKIV, 5DSR, 5DIV, 5D MKII, 16-35/2.8L II, 24-70/2.8L II, 70-200/2.8L IS II, IS, 100-400/4.5-5.6 L IS II, 500/4 L IS II, 24-105/4 IS, 50/2.5 macro, 1.4x MKII, 1.4X MKIII, 2X MKIII,580EX II, 550EXs(2), ST-E2.
