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..?

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
