I'm going to be doing these kinds of shots sometime - do you think your 70-200mm would be useful in rolling shots at all?

It was a boom suction cupped onto the car actually, so you want a wide angle so that you don't need to boom at as far out making it less steady... That was shot with a 14mm F2.8 lens actually.

70-200mm I use primarily for stills or shots panning at the race track.

For rolling car to car shots I'd recommend 24-70 with a polarizer on it, or equivalent if you are on Dx.

If you look on my flickr a couple of pages back, all of the car to car stuff was either 10.5mm or 18-70mm

Hope that helps!

More to come right away!

Picking up an 85mm tilt shift tomorrow!!! =P
