Agree, had Nikon L.A. repair my 70-200 2.8 in time for the March Meet, had several other photographers ask what I had changed in shooting, as things were sharper they thought...can't say enough about the service, as well as a very quick turnaround

Very nice action capture, would assume that you were at the fence, outside the playing field?

I currently use a D80, and am very happy with the quality. I would like to move to full frame. I have large hands and like the feel of the D800 but canât afford one even used. Iâm wondering if the 700 is about the same size? And would I be better off with a D600 because of the 24 mp vs 12 on the 700. The largest print would be 16x20. Mostly landscape and portrait
Bob, I moved from a D70 years ago to a D300, when I started upgrading to FF lenses, 70-200 2.8 and a 24-70 2.8 I made the move to the D700, a real workhorse...I liked that it worked somewhat well in lowlight, and have no problem with prints to 16 x 20.
I shoot mostly drag racing, car events for our website, and will continue to use the D700, I don't shoot landscapes or I would seriously consider moving up...as a side note, many of the photographers that I shoot with have switched from FF back to the new D500 with excellent results and might be in my bag down the road.

Mark is one of the top photographers in the sports world, also covers various other racing events, as well as the Super Bowl, season football, baseball, basketball and you may see his work in USA Today often....a great guy on top of that

Todd is correct in all aspects, although media credentials have become harder to obtain, as the new rules from NHRA have limited them...I just returned from shooting the 60th March Meet, credentials were cut from 150 last year to 100 this year, and will settle next year at 50. Due to the live pay-for-view we were limited from the 60' line to approx. 150' on one side, 60' to 100' on the opposite side, no one under the 60' line; top end was actually better to shoot at....if you do happen to luck out with credentials, remember to keep your eye on any car that is running, and to watch both lanes, as it can happen quicker than you can react...be safe, have fun!

Very quick focus, this was a slightly used lens that I had paid $950.00 for 3 years ago, before sending I check the usual haunts, and was still looking at $900-1,200 for the same lens (vr1) so figured since I knew the lens, let's try the service...I shoot drag racing, street rod features, baseball and basketball (indoors) this has always been my go-to lens, along w/ the Nikon 28-70 2.8...as a side, took it out right after receiving, very happy with the work

Received my 70-200 22.8 vr last week from Nikon in Los Angeles, same type problem, all of a sudden locked up while shooting the races...had it back in two weeks, $600.00 + shipping, looks and works like a new lens, very satisfied

Chris Morel, Reno, Nv. had a wild ride in his nitromethane burning funny car at the 2016 March Meet...while it seemed to happen in slow motion the entire sequence was only 15-20 sec. Chris was removed from the car safely, rebuilt the car and was back to racing 3 months later....

Great shots...and as you mentioned with this action you get what's there, there is no staging in the game...thanks for posting

Easiest way to determine the year of mostly any car/truck is to simply do a search on your browser, just enter the year/car and hit the images, it will bring up many examples...hit different years to see the changes...in this case, the grill is the dead giveaway, try it out...you like it
A few I've shot over the last few years, 1949--top notice the subtle changes
1950--second
1951--third
1952--bottom

Hi, definitely a 1950, the subtle grille changes are the difference in the 1949 to 1952 Chevrolets, a Deluxe model was also introduced with these models...the 1953-54 models, as has been mentioned was a square body style that only was produced for two years, preceding the 1955 year model which introduced the V8 engine....
