I wouldnt worry about that. Some mates were trying to convince me I didnt need a 70-200 2.8 IS, so leant me a non IS. Brilliant bit of glass. My next purchase for sure.

Seen those, look nice. Although considering how small and light it is Id ditch the lenses and get a nice flexible zoom lens.

Youre a sick man Craig... Go talk to your wife then!

fkn lol ryan you havnt been around long enough me thinks hahahahah

Yeah, I'm getting by without the IS - the only shaky shots I've shot so far were indoors at a Uni graduation where I didn't think it would be curteous to use a flash and I was a long way away at the back of the hall, and there were too many people around to set up a tripod.

nick you should get the 70-200 F4, its lighter, and smaller too.

Nah, I'm liking this lens more and more as I use it, and I like the extra stop of light, as well as the DoF. Can't afford another lens for a while, anyway. I'm just going to put up with the weight.

whats that LOL and how does it differ ?

you wouldnt be using it at such a large aperture anyway?

i run mine around F7.1 anyway. so wouldnt matter anyway.

Yeah, but sometimes I like to shoot wide open. And it's about options - it's always good to have options, right?

To be fair, chances are your flash wouldnt have been able to throw sufficient light to assist you here any how :P

Maxed out your usable ISO range already? Very much a rock and a hard place situation if you had :(

Yeah, no doubt.

Yep, ISO was maxed out, I should see how much I can recover it - it was mega-grainy.

just use a noise reduction program. sometimes they work well. i guess it comes down to how noisy your camera is at whatever ISO youre using.

get a 580ex speedlite, its got 200mm zoom (i think)

Ive seen Noise Ninja do some fairly amazing things. Smart software.

If Nick has a crop body & his lens was at 200mm then even the 580 wouldnt help - as he'd technically be at 320mm. Ive never shot with a monopod, but under those sort of circumstances it might work well..?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
