Well I finally took my 600mm out for a walk this weekend. I have to say this lens blew me away. i do not think my 500mm was this sharp, although I might be wrong.

Here are a few from the AMA Superbike race Saturday and Sunday.

1, 4 and 5 are my faves. Awesome collection of shots. I really need to get myself a big, high quality lens.

The first one is a real winner, sharp, detailed and a great perspective. Something a little different from the norm, well shot.

#1 and #5 for me - but they all look great.

May I ask which 600 lens - 600 f/4 L? I may be renting one of these for a future race and I am just curious - thanks.

Excellent shots! Amazing race for Spies having a bad pole and then coming back to take the win from Mladin.
