There's probably a thread about this already somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
I'm off to Silverstone for the F1 GP this year and as its my first visit I have no idea what to expect (not just photography wise).
I'll be taking my Canon 700D and I'm now trying to make a decision on which zoom lens to pair it with. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money as zoom is my least used tool. I've got a Canon 18-200 as my general all purpose lens at the moment, but I've heard that 200mm isn't long enough. I was thinking about buying a 55-250 STM which seems a great deal at £99 from Digital Rev, but I'm still not sure if that's enough. I could probably go up to about £300 on a lens, but as I'd hardly use it I thought that perhaps hiring might be a better option.
I'm planning on using Friday in particular and possibly Saturday as photography days and then just enjoy the race through my own eyes on the Sunday without the camera. I'm in the Vale stand which I've heard isn't too bad.
So anybody else going this year? Any top tips from anyone that's been before?
