I was hoping you would chime in. I immediately thought of you and your
brother's spectacular train photography as a prime example of long lens use
and hoped you would reply.
Not sure if it was you or Dan that took those two examples, but they are
both beautiful shots! Truly an inspiration and also a solid reminder that if
my 350/2.8 were ever to come to an unfortunate demise that a Tamron SP
300/2.8 or 400/4 would certainly be a worthy option. Exceptional work.
And you're right about the DOF being short at 500mm. Timing becomes really
critical when a car is coming at you at ~150MPH and you're trying to hit
that release timing point spot on for optimal focus where you want it. Sorta
like how it would be if you were to go shoot bullet trains ;-) The 2-4
screen helps a whole lot.
